"Love to learn."
This is Dave Rhea's philosophy when it comes to his job. It's constantly changing, he says, and if you want to be a part of this business, you have to learn to adapt.
What I really liked about him was that he told us what he did everyday for work, and that his job is so flexible. Blogging is part of his job, but it sounded like what he blogs about is not the most important part of what he does every week.
Also, another topic he touched on was failure. I really appreciated him talking about that, because as a student working on a degree, I'm terrified of being hired in the future and then making some kind of mistake and getting fired.
It was comforting to see that even though he made a mistake, he's still respected and successful. But I also think it's safe to say that you shouldn't be stupid and make the same mistakes all the time. That would probably not be appreciated in a professional workplace.
The flexibility of what he does is what is most appealing to me. I hope I'm as happy with my future job as he is with his.
