We are in the age of The Professional.
About the Author:
In the opaque economic world of the 21st century, there are no fixed answers to most problems. It is unrealistic to expect bureaucrats and industries to keep pace with our borderless cyber economy. For this reason, we need professionals who provide appropriate advice on direction and degree.
Professionals are people who not only have specialized knowledge and skills and a high standard of ethics, but also always put the customer first, have an inexhaustible supply of intellectual curiosity and motivation for self-improvement, and are extremely disciplined.
Is this too much to ask? I don't think so. If anything, we should be demanding more.
