Hi Kaila, totally agree that the world is our oyster and most things we need to learn are a Google-search away. But I think it’s time that businesses share the responsibility of educating their employees. The field of marketing is a good example of an area where businesses could step it up with corporate training. Marketing and associated technologies are changing so fast (Scott Brinker’s 947 marketing technologies anyone?) that a lot of people find their skills out of date only a couple of years after graduation. If employers want the best people working for them, they need to invest in continually educating their people.
