What one piece of advice do you wish you had known at the start of your career?

Reposted from IET Professional Development



I'm currently working on a blog around starting out in careers in engineering - it got me thinking about the lessons learned from others (perhaps because I spend a lot of my time working with our volunteer mentors).


What one piece of advice do you wish you had known at the start of your career that you know now?


Or, if you're starting out in your career right now, what is the one thing you want to learn more about (and hopefully have planned as part of your CPD)?


Please share your experiences or advice below:

    Get a bachelors degree in engineering. Anything less will result in frustration. I am an Incorporated Engineer but having a CGLI does not get my name past the computer CV/resume sorter on online job applications.
