a very good sign you are absolutely never gonna make it is believing this cargo cult shit matters
after 25, no one asks you about this shit

what did you ACHIEVE so far?

listen kids
i employ people, thousands of them
i sit at hiring and technical committees that decide if someone is getting offered contracts

a degree, especially vanity/humanities degree in the [current year] is a very bad sign
i am more impressed when you write down you speak 4 languages
i am more impressed when you write down you managed your own private investment fund no matter how tiny your capital is
i am more impressed when you say you have an electronics/welding workshop in your garage and you fixed a washing machine on your own than i am impressed by your daddy buying you into adult daycare program for 4 fucking years
i am more impressed when you write down you run 70km a week and bench 200 kilos than i am by your reading some gender related pseudoscience
