And Bill Gates got rich by quitting Harvard and starting his own business.  Sure, we have all heard those stories, and they are true.  But how many of us can become Bill Gates and Michael Dell?  Most people can't become billionaires, but we can get stable office jobs and that's a much more realistic goal.

You know what I didn't need to get a steady office job? Good grades in college.

My highest academic certificate is a high school diploma and I am in the 90 percentile of the population salary-wise. It took me a fucking lot of work and leaving my country for a while, but it's doable.


Also, I would never hire or recommend a buddy of mine unless I have worked with him for a while and know he or she can deliver, no matter how many beers we've enjoyed together (in college or otherwise).

How do you plan to move up to the 1%  :P

I checked my percentile for shits and giggles.  Yowza.  I should be living in a much nicer house.

I could perhaps do it from my current position (as others around me have).

To even try I would have to sacrifice a great deal of my spare time. Been there, done that. Not interested on a second T-shirt. I'd rather enjoy life.

Doesn't it get cold when your t-shirt is in the wash?

Just read a list of trump quotes.
In one of them he attacks Obama for being the least transparent us president ever.
Well of course he's the least transparent us president ever. He's the blackest us president ever.
Nope, that was Clinton.

A new #thedress, is this jacket blue and white or black and brown. It's clearly blue and white so I don't see this taking off into virality like the dress.

I see turquoise and beige, same as yesterday.
