I attended the excellent 12 hr "Transition Yourself" workshop ¹ offered by Susan Kay Wilson via the Hard Times Grant funded by the Washington State Library Renew Washington Project under the Federal Library Services and Technology Act, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. ²

I am hopeful that there will be many more workshops offered and that the weekly (Friday) network support group continues its meetings.

I'm also hopeful that the "Transition Yourself" Google Group will be made public.

Below are a few highlights from that workshop.

1. Your "Elevator Speech"    
2. Your "Employment Tool Kit" (Private) - My version

Ofer Malamud, a University of Chicago labor economist, has written an interesting paper on the effects of early specialization on career change. His findings are that university students who specialize early are more likely to change careers than students who specialize later. He proposes that the years of university exploration contribute to a better understanding of tastes, preferences and abilities and lead to greater alignment between studies and work.

See http://www.nber.org/papers/w15522 for an abstract and info on downloading. Also, Inside Hgher Ed has an article on the paper at http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2009/11/25/nber.

It’s an interesting exploration that can be obtained from the National Bureau of Economic Research. Downloads are free to people with .gov and .edu email addresses.
