Patrick,

This is a great post. It is simple, concise and educative. However, i think young starters myself will like to know more than just what a BA does. Can you please make a post on what you consider paramount for someone considering a BA career in terms of hard/soft skills, personality traits, job experience, education and training etc. I also want to ask how broad can a BA career be? i read a post talking about a BA being a Product Manager, and from your post (this one), a BA seems similar to a project manager and even more needed in a typical IT project than a PM.

Thanks for the post.
