> You learn lessons over the years and this is one I learned at some point: you want to work in revenue centers, not cost centers.
Best advice I got in school is -- at least early in your career-- work in the main line of business for your company. So if you are in marketing, work for a marketing firm, an accountant, work for an accounting firm.. etc. Video game designer: work for a video game developer.
Later you can have other roles but you make your mark doing the thing that company really depends on.

Related advice I got - work in the head office for your company if possible. Definitely turned out to be a good call in my case as the satellite offices closed one by one over time.
