No one questioned me.

When I worked in finance, no one questioned my accounts. 

People didn’t interject with opinions about how to reconcile a ledger – I had the authority of accounting standards and regulations. 

When I worked in HR, and later marketing, all kinds of people had an opinion. Usually unsolicited.

Because ‘soft skills’ professions have a barrier to entry problem.

It’s too low.

The skills required to do the job well are hidden...
