Do not make the mistake of thinking that now that you have the job, that the learning stops.  Far from it, to have a long lasting, meaningful career, you need to keep advancing your knowledge about your field.

School teachers take classes and seminars to maintain currency, tradespeople learn the latest in specialized fields, even attorneys are required to take so many hours of continuing education to keep current.  What are you doing to maintain your competitive edge?

If you cannot afford to take some available classes at the local college, check out community programs.  Often, they will have a class on Microsoft Word or Excel, maybe even an illustrator type class.  Even if it is NOT in your job description now, I guarantee that sometime knowing a new program will help you in a job.  Plus it always helps you because you keep your mind fresh.  It is always good to bettery understand other areas of the business–knowing an accounting program will help you understand the financial area, somewhat.

You have to exercise your brain.  Keep forcing new things, new ideas, new concepts, new learnings in…and receive rewards that you have not considered out.
