I had a friend who worked a few jobs and he always had gripes about what the company was doing wrong. At the end of each job when he decided to move on, he would always say that he should write a letter explaining how the company was so wrong.
I was the opposite. I worked extra hours, made suggestions along the way and tried to make my boss look good.
H200h is correct. Knowing how to make and hold money are important. There is a story where a teacher supplied young kids with suits and ties, acting I guess as a surrogate Father figure. Knowing how to investigate a compay you want to work for, knowing how to be interviewed are also important. I am afraid that ‘kids’ now-a-days will just rely upon AI or some social media to tell them how to fix their resume.
I didn’t think about it earlier but also having a fallback career helps. A friend has a Real Estate license, but when the pandemic hit, she had no other way to make money. She always had the desire to sell some things online but was not ready when the real estate market plummetted. A backup plan!
