Thanks, Thomas! I think that’s a fair criticism. What I was trying to get at with “some actions that fall within the category of skill building would be extremely useful for some and trivial for others” is that to a certain extent, it’s up to the individual to define what skill building is for them. I’m amenable to the fact that maybe these definitions weren’t lenient enough to a range of career paths. I do worry, however, that too many individuals are going into ops/community building without building up other aptitudes.
Referring to your last paragraph, I think it’d be better if a group organizer could get those same skills in something a bit more catered to a prospective career path, although maybe this is unrealistic. This also doesn’t hold if the individual’s career interest is in ops.
