Invest wisely, invest in yourself through volunteerism in the Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology

摘要

Time is a finite and precious commodity. Talent is a gift. Just as economists advise to "pay yourself before paying others" to create monetary wealth and security in retirement, business experts are advising us to take "ownership of our career direction, goals and objectives." There are several avenues that one can consider to acquire the skills and knowledge for self-promotion. Some of these opportunities, such as pursuing an advanced degree, require a personal cash investment. However, one can obtain much of the desired industry knowledge and management skills required for professional advancement through volunteering in professional organizations. Therefore, if you invest in yourself first, you will realize some of these same financial opportunities.
