Your career isn't a ladder, it's a jungle gym. I think this idea that a career is a ladder is very outdated. I don't know that any of us really just kind of walk up a ladder. And some of us do stay at companies for decades and then retire, but it's become a lot more rare. Maybe some of us are in professions that may not even exist in a decade. Things keep changing. So I think even technology is going to make us think about our careers more as a, a play gym, somewhere where we're kind of going up and down and making lateral moves and, and crossing industries. Yeah.
