b$)$ List at least two reasons and explain each reason.$$

$.$b$)$ What is the status of your own career$/$professional $($lifelong$)$ development plan? $[$That is$,$ how will you ensure that you always have skills that are in demand by the market and that you will never be caught unprepared for a radical shift that hits you personally.$]$ Many professions disappear overnight. Retooling is possible but takes time and money so can be a major set back.

$.$c$)$ How in your busy life can you carve out time for the long run planning and your own skill$/$experience building in areas that will be needed for the future?

Note: You can elect to not share points on your own development plan if you feel that is too private. That's ok$.$ However, you must post a pointer on development to share with others AND react$/$interact$/$comment meaningfully to another student's post.
