    What is being said here makes so much sense, and I have never thought of things in this way. I wish I had looked at this content 19 years ago. I feel I wasted 19 years with a company, and I regret it now.

    Thank You Oliver Yarbough. Your passion & commitment comes through the screen. I especially appreciated your words of "Own your career, but rent your job." and "Treat yourself like the asset that you are."
