Computing professionals continually face exclusion from their work because digital technology advances so swiftly. Along with this risk, changes in the global information society have led to a shift in the computing professional's role from "organization man" to free agent. As professionals in a workspace with evolving expectations of the employer-employee relationship, most of us need to acquire and apply entrepreneurial and business management skills to manage our careers. Our career trajectories thus depend on constant marketing and networking rather than climbing the ladder of a predefined career track.
