Honestly, I think whoever wrote this article is an idiot. Tell me what you think.
http://finance.yahoo.com/expert/article/careerist/32601 Basically, she says that worst advice parents can give is: 1) Get a graduate degree 2) Don't job hop 3) Don't ask about time off until you have the job 4) Don't have gaps in your resume 5) Earn enough money to pay rent and buy food She explains why each point is bad advice, including saying that a graduate degree is pretty much useless these days and that job hopping is somehow good? My parents didn't teach me that shit. My friends in the workforce, college professors, and managers have. I would be surprised if anyone on here agreed with her. |
