    THREAD 🧵: 9 Career Lessons They Don’t Teach You in School

     

    1. Your degree gets you in the door.

    Your value keeps you in the room. Learn skills that make you hard to replace.

    2. Nobody owes you anything.

    Not your boss. Not your coworkers. Take ownership of your growth.

    3. Soft skills > Hard skills.

    Emotional intelligence, communication, and problem-solving will take you farther than technical know-how alone.

    4. Always document your wins.

    That “small task” you did? Write it down. It’s your proof for promotions and interviews.

    5. Don’t stay where you’re not growing.

    Comfort is the enemy of progress. If you’re not learning, you’re stagnating.

    6. Your network is your safety net.

    Opportunities don’t always come from job boards. They come from people.

    7. Ask. Negotiate. Speak up.

    Closed mouths don’t get promoted. Advocate for your value — respectfully.

    8. Every job is temporary.

    Even the one you love. Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.

    9. Protect your peace.

    Toxic workplaces are not worth your mental health. Leave if it’s hurting you.
