[QUOTE="galt, post: 1404381, member: 20363"] Think "organization" not "job". Do you really want to be in your fifties, working a real hands on field job, only to be reporting to some harpie at the regional office? Say you've made it to foreman or field supervisor. You have dozens of hard working men reporting to you. You will be required to periodically go to regional offices, take orders from office shits who never worked in the field, don't know and don't care about the complexities or dangers out there. They live in the world of e-mail and spreadsheets and are concerned about deadlines and numbers. You will be required to take all manners of diversity training every year, and will be forced to take on a female crew member, which will change the entire culture of your work crew. Decades of field expertise, only to realize some diversity manager makes more than you. No, fuck that. Forget government and large corps. Any job there you will eventually run into these shits. Focus on small, mission oriented, results oriented organizations. Hopefully the mission aligns with what you want to do. Make tons of $$ at hedge funds, build tech, fight, build infrastructure, push science forward, defend large corps as a lawyer and get paid, manufacture and sell to large corps. It has to be a small firm where the owners still actively manage the firm. Once it becomes big and shares are traded openly, it becomes subject to globo homo. [/QUOTE]
