Diversify your skill set
The people who are blessed to work the longest in any industry that I know of are the ones who diversified their skills. They learned various aspects of the job or career and inevitably made themselves more valuable. Again, having something to fall back on his key. If the position that is your chosen career is suddenly discontinued or the corporation has layoffs the person with the most diversified skill set usually will have the most value and is the most difficult to let go.Â
