On May 30, 2025, Prof. Dr. Jochen Menges shared insights into five pervasive career myths in an article for Yahoo Finance. He explains why classic advice like “follow your passion” or “networking is everything” isn’t always effective, and which soft skills truly make a difference in an age of automation.
Prof. Menges emphasizes that:

- Developing critical thinking and self‐management skills pays off more in the long run than unfocused networking.
- Leadership, empathy, and adaptability are the key success factors when AI and automation reshape the workplace.
