Education is a dance where you navigate from where you are to some sort of idea of a better opportunity. But sometimes it feels more like walking off a cliff. If you're looking at being employed after education (and I suspect there will be fewer and fewer of those) Anil Dash has recommendations to help you find the right landing place. Some of them are practical: does it pay enough, and can I continue to grow? Some of them are more global: how does it earn money, and will it do more good than harm? And others speak to working conditions, which can be the hardest to judge. In the end, you can't really know unless you know someone on the inside, and if you know someone on the inside you probably don't need this list.
