Quit Your Job – Learning from New Environments

Peter Wells, Swinburne University Part of XW18

We all know how much we learn from this community, but the best way to learn is to go somewhere new, see what works that you never thought of, what is missing that you used to rely on. What I’ve learnt moving form universities, and why everyone here should quit their job.
