Webmaster Careers
If you want to be successful in later life, spend time
early in your career doing something hard and lonely. This is the
advice of Jeffrey J. Fox in his well-received book "How to Become
a CEO: the rules for Rising to the Top of Any Organization"
(Hyperion,
1998). Fox thinks that you should "regularly practice something
Spartan and individualistic." Something like splitting wood or
reading Shakespeare. "But do it by yourself. This will give you
a feeling of toughness, a certain self-elitism," he promises.
"It will mentally prepare you for the battle of business."
Web design would qualify for this. It is difficult — and it is
a solitary activity. It could help you in your current job. And for
those who are chafing at their current occupation, taking web design
classes can also offer a new career. Here is the array of classes
that you can take to learn web skills.
