I’ve been “in tech” for a long time but my network isn’t where I want it to be after 10+ years. The skills I needed to build it weren’t emphasized when I was young or even mentioned.

I still can’t understand the position of, “don’t go back to school.” I’ve tried for the past year to argue that successfully in my head and I can’t see why anyone would hold that opinion.
