Hahaha these are my favorite comments. I put in 12 hour days usually, and I admittedly spend half of those ripping my employer off by writing part time or applying to other jobs. I’m pretty effective and efficient, so I still do my 8 hours of work in 6, if not more, but the fact that I am such a shithead in response to my boss’s shitheadness only goes to show how ridiculous my situation is. There’s a reason I write under an assumed name hah. If anything, this is my escape, my anchor to sanity during the day.
Thanks for the compliment though and honestly I wouldn’t judge the others too harshly. Everyone writes with a specific voice for a specific audience, ya know? There are certainly contributors who I don’t read regularly because their work couldn’t apply to me any less, but I respect what they’re doing and who their writing is intended for.
Keep reading and commenting though, and hell, get me a new job while you’re at it hah

8 Reasons Why Undergrads Are Unprepared for Work
1. 46% of graduates are unprepared for the workforce but don’t realize it.
2. I’m traditionally on the side of the younger generation because we’re no different than previous “younger generations,” but not this time.
3. Our generation can’t communication effectively in a professional setting.
4. We weren’t taught to.
5. We aren’t taught practical skills in college.
6. This runs in contrast to higher education’s stated goals.
7. Writers who troll for clicks by shitting on Millennials are awful.
Completely different degrees. MSF is a one-year degree that costs about $40,000 and is intended for people right out of college or with a year or two of experience. There are about 5 or so schools worth going to, not 20, and depending on your specific status there are similar programs at Virginia or Duke that aren’t MSFs but compete for students. MSFs are meant for people looking to break into finance who didn’t have a finance background as an undergraduate student.
MBAs are MBAs, and usually require more work experience, care more about admissions statistics, and should propel you into a management role. They definitely help your career more long-term as opposed to the beginning, but also cost something like $150,000 and you lose two years of income, not one.
I wrote this yesterday. Yesterday was “I’m so much better at this analytical software than you are. Now, how do I add two cells together in Excel?” day
I couldn’t do it, man. I struggle to write or study after work – I couldn’t imagine taking a class for three hours. My dad did his MBA part-time before/as I was being born. No idea how.

Hahaha we’ll see
Do people actually celebrate the anniversary of their engagement?
That dad from the first story sounds like the coolest dad ever.
Worse? I did. I’m just very public- and client-facing in my current role.
I work for the internet part time and market on the internet full time. Hah, not doing social media isn’t an option.
Water temple or not, Ocarina of Time is still amazing.
“Come Monday” is gold
There was a time, my friend. There was a time.

I honestly wouldn’t even consider going to business school part-time.
Nah. I agree with your overall point, but there are other top schools and regional players that still deliver a return

Hah, he’s one of four partners. They collectively run my cities’ office.
He is quite possessive
