I watched The Last Samurai last week. You know that movie with Tom Cruise where he plays a civil war-era American soldier and winds up in Japan fighting with/against the samurai?
I thought it was a great movie and piqued my curiosity. I looked at the wikipedia page for Samurai and read up a little. At the end of the article there was this link (http://bit.ly/1574yW3) for a list of obselete occupations.
The risk of your profession becoming obsolete is low, but not keeping up with professional trends is much higher.
Do you know the latest technology? The newest theories? Best practices?
