Excellent post! Hopefully it will help people realize that they have to manage their time and money properly and there is no magic do-over button. Now if they really want to be bailed out of their mistakes, they just need to make it as a CEO or own a company the government will help bailout. Makes the hard work getting there worth it, right? =D
I agree with the article on attitude an perception of the job. One aspect not mentioned is if people harbor racist views and it comes out wherever you go. Being a minority religion in the US will get you this treatment and the christian majority will let it slide. Found that in more than one job I worked. I enjoyed the work, just the people sucked.
bubelah You are right to some extent. Being a woman is something I cannot change. But I never was one of the Guys, was never in the "boys club" and couldn't curse my way up, no matter how talented I was. Being a woman is being a minority.
