    I’m in my mid-50s and pretty financially successful (enough that I’m thinking about retiring soon). My entire career gameplan has always been ‘seemed like a good idea at the time’ combined with ‘someone I know put in a good word for me’. I’ve never got a job from a cold interview.

    Moral of this story - network like your future career depends on it!

      How’s the saying go? Success is opportunity… Uh… When… Eh…

      (I had to Google it)

      Success is when opportunity meets preperation.
