Interesting Articles

CNN has posted a couple of articles that I found interesting and are related to this website.

This first article is related to the fact that office space is no longer a fixed area. More and more people are supporting companies on the go and no longer supported by infrastructure that is supplied by a corporation. It talks about some of the pitfalls and advantages. News Media is definitely a lagging indicator of where things are headed. CNN featuring the contract job life means that it is becoming more and more prevalent.

This second article talks about networking and its importance in our careers. In engineering, there seems to be an aversion to the social aspect of the job and focus on the tools to complete the job. If there is going to be a more contract job aspect to the engineering field, I believe the social aspect of the job will be even more important due to dealing with clients and business development.
