I think that statement is super relevant and highly applicable to most of us today, perhaps more than any other time in the past.
The sort of questions employers really need answered today are, What are you capable of? What can you do? Can you show me examples of your work?
Where you have been before matters much less than what you can do today.
And for those of us with access to technology such as the internet, laptops, smart phones, etc, we can build, create, network our way to whatever future our skills and hard work will take us.
Of course, it’s worth mentioning that there are still many countries around the world where this kind of access does not exist.
For them, it is much harder.
But for the rest of the world, more than ever, it’s about where you’re at.
