Education builds skills. Skills are assets.
Assets are valuable if you can show them.
Your portfolio shows your skills.
A portfolio (or at least a vita listing publications) is the mark of a professional. Colleges should be teaching portfolio development and maintenance. More than that, they should be publicizing the portfolios of their graduates and upcoming graduates.

- Trick question. You don't put class notes in your portfolio.
- Your portfolio fills with things you did.
- And you probably did them elsewhere.
- That's why I show the classroom empty.
- The students should be out doing things.
- And creating record of what they do: That's what makes a Career portfolio
