John Posada <jposada01 at yahoo.com> said, "If your strengths haven't changed when compared before and after your degrees, you should ask for your money back."
 
 I respectfully disagree. I recommend the book Now Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton available at Amazon (and other booksellers): http://tinyurl.com/yqn76t
 
 This book builds on decades of studying successful professionals. It explains the differences between talents, strengths, and skills. It includes an online test to help you understand the concept as well as detailed infromation on how to manage those with each type of strength.
 
 Essentially, people learn skills to enhance their talents which the become strengths. But strengths and talents rarely change throughout any lifetime. Once you identify and focus on your strengths, you apply training, experience, education, and new skills to achieve success. If you lack the talent or strength, it doesn't mattter how much money you spend on education, success will continue to evade you.
