    Would you try to regain your lost skills?

    Let's say you loose a set of skills due to a medical condition, these are not anything necessary for everyday life, but are crucial to if you wish to continue on the education/career path you where on. You also have other skills/talents that have been unaffected.

    Do you redevelop your old skills and continue to specialize in the same direction as before the setback or do you change course and rather build on your unaffected skills?



    Note: Your ability to relearn the skills lost is either not impaired at all or is slightly impaired. You will find it more difficult to learn them though, since you are older than you where at the time. How much harder depends on your age.

    Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

    If the other field was just as strong, I'd consider changing.

      Im facing that very issue..due to my accident..lost 3 federal and 2 state certifications

      I am awaiting MMI on hand and then the rating, then I will look into ADA and the use of a proctor in administering several of those tests via an engineer...

      If someone cant read, an oral exam is authorized.

      I had been certified for over 15 years.....so have hopes my work experience and practical knowledge can be used as a waiver in lieu of actually performing all the field tests.....

          Gramps, what are the possiblity of you going into teaching at a trade tech? It seems to me you'd be a treasure trove of information for the younger generation.

            Well, by default, that what I am doing now..less "hands-on" doer..more or mostly orally dictation..guidance..informing and guiding...

            23 years in the Industry...I have allways felt the need to be a good steward...and thus..do so now


            Accountability is paramount in my eyes..and it would be a waste to simply let lifes experience slip by...

            I currently have no plans to leave the Industry..but am ever so aware..of survival of the fittest...in corporate America...

              I find now that my fundamental old skills are very sound, but now there is a culture of accredition, from attending one/two courses, into an industry. So that looks good on a CV.

              But it is widely abused I think (well I know).
