    Education and investment in knowledge is one of the most important areas that technologies and their employers can spend time and money on.

    Two critical points that I talk to people about quite frequently. I lean more heavily on the second point. Training and education in the product is important. But it doesn't end - education and training need to continue or mistakes will be made. Somebody will rely on knowledge that is for the version of SQL Server (or DBMS of your choice) from 15 years ago. In many cases that knowledge won't apply anymore and it can cause issues.
