Reinvention is the new employment | freep.com | Detroit Free Press

“…Like tens of thousands of Michiganders who’ve lost their jobs in the economic recession, [Cathy] Smith was laid off in December 2008, after she declined to transfer to New York from her office in Troy. She is part of the state’s 14.7% unemployment rate — the nation’s highest.

When she assessed her life — and what was meaningful to her — Smith set a course for a new direction.

On Wednesday, she is to begin classes at Oakland University on the Macomb Community College campus to earn a master’s degree in counseling.”

In this economy, what many people are learning is that opportunity lies within recreating themselves and using their creativity to carve out a new position, a new career, a new life journey based on what they value and not the box that corporate America has placed them in.
