091 - Today's Rules for the Workplace - Advice to Grads


1. Life is not fair: get used to it.

2. The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.

3. You will not make $40,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with a car-phone until you earn it.

4. If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss, He doesn't have tenure.

5. Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grand parents had a different word for burger flipping, they called it opportunity.

6. If you mess up, it's not your parent's fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

7. Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rainforest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the clothing in your room.

8. Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades: they will let you try as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life.

9. Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that in your own time.

10. Television is not real life. In real life, people have to leave the coffee shops and go to their jobs.

11. Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
