re: 5 Years Outlook For A Given Career

What you have described for career growth sounds logical. I have allowed myself to lose sight of the big picture, essentially get comfortable with what I have. I could certainly continue working the same job I have now, and probably be happy with it still in 5 years. The catch is knowing that career path might not make me marketable for management or beyond. Is there any suggested reading materials, or resources that can be helpful with figuring out the next step?
