Analyzing Career Capital

Cal Newport provides advice to Gabe, an active duty service member in the Navy, on how to analyze career capital and pick a specialization in a broad field of work. Newport suggests waiting until transitioning to the private sector to choose a specialization, as it can be difficult to determine the most important skill from a distance. He recommends considering lifestyle factors when choosing a job and then identifying opportunities to develop new skills once in the industry.
