Learning and The Importance of School in Business

Learning at a young age was important to your career.  It’s a goal to teach our children at earlier ages these days.  Jump to the 9th grade, study algebra in the first grade.  Take the SAT’s in middle school.  All those things help.  But it isn’t always as quick as we think.  And it’s unlikely we can remember everything.

We learn how to study better as we get older.  We skim the chapters, and look at the last pages to look for the important theories of the book.  We make outlines.  We make note cards.  We ask a friend for a computer file study sheet.  And we can ace an exam.  We learn how to interact.

We are now ready to begin a job in business.  But it’s lots of one-on-one, and in person.  So what’s the point.  Just give up?  School was the other way. We were taught the opposite.  No. Using some parts of the old ways can start new habits, especially, at younger ages and help the new ways of learning in business.  The person becomes older, nicer, more professional, and is instructed well to enable in-person learning for quicker discussions that one already knows. A lot of what we learn as a person in a school, helps us for our new jobs. It’s not always the school material, that we most usually find in a book or computer.
