Jill knew that more than one person had been stealing her ideas by reading her blogs for years. But she didn't mind. She felt like her creativity was like goodwill, not a limited resource... Besides, no one was ever gonna pull off her notions in the same way she could. There was always gonna be room for her, and she would make room for them too.

The woman in the barn could relate to Jill's frustration in the job market and told her story. She said that she used to supervise teams of people with their MBA in the banking industry. She had made it over the glass ceiling, and worked in a management level that was only 20% women, and she was the youngest person in such a role!
When she got out of banking and hit the street, she was busted for not having a university degree. To her surprise and horror... Her corporate experience did not translate well in the job market without that piece of paper, and in the time that she was figuring it out, she became obsolete in banking.
If I am going to go back to school to get some credentials it is going to be for something that I really want to learn about! The woman was signing up for clinics and riding lessons and coaching certification tests, instead of re-certifiying as a Financial Planner and re-liscencing as a Mutual Fund Rep. Yeehaw!
