Burning fossil fuels, underage sex parties, over throwing democratically elected 3rd world governments.

"Invest in Mentors"

Fucking clown always trying to sell his stupid shit

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Wasn't at all surprised to scroll up and see "mentor" in their byline

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Mentors can be a legitimately good way to progress your career; but 100% of the online mentoring services are bullshit.

Like, for anyone salaried in a corporate environment; pick someone ~3 rings higher than you on the ladder in a seperate department (e.g. Team Lead, Department Head, VP, GM etc.).

They will be familiar enough with the business to provide useful guidance, helping you build up not only your skillset but your professional network. Because, the dirty secret is - after a certain point, it’s not necessarily what you know - it who you know.

One must delete facebook and lawyer up before one can ascend to the realm of #4. Profit.

Alternately, rich kids just pay off the carnival workers for the big prize without playing the game at all

So I am middle class then. Man why does it still feel poor?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

there is only the working class and the owning class. those other classes were made up by the owning class, to divide the working class.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

you are working class. We all are.

A job is not a hobby. I feel that that shouldn't require explanation.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Sometimes, hobby becomes job and stops being hobby :c

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

"So, do you have any hobbies?"

"Yep! I like job, invest in mentors, knowledge..."

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago

It’s amazing how hourly workers brainwashed themselves into believing that they’re entrepreneurs.

They really believe the nonsense that bro podcasters sell them.

They’ll be 40 in an hourly retail position wondering where everything went wrong.

Entire bottom box should be “wait for trust fund”.

I swear rich people have no actual interests

The ones that do are not spending their time posting sociopath bullshit on LinkedIn.

Any rich person born after 1993 can't party. All they know is gym, invest in they mentors, not work, be knowledgeable, do business, and lie.

Oh come on, I doubt it's that large.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I don't think this individual understands what a hobby is. Your job by definition is not a hobby.

IF YOU LOVE YOUR JOB YOU'LL NEVER WORK A SINGLE DAY BROTHER AWOOOGA

Man, I knowledged so hard today.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

It's hilarious to me that, while the author is trying to own working-class people's poor choice of hobbies, what it actually does is show the immense privilege of people whose only hobbies are various forms of "self improvement".

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

The actual bullshit message behind this:

A rich person is a good person and a smart person.

In posted this, so I am signaling to you that I am a good and smart person that will be rich if I’m not already.

Obviously the #1 life goal of all people is to be rich, so you should all be like me, and you should be ashamed when you take time to enjoy existence.

(Disclaimer: I’m not shitting on people who enjoy or find fulfillment in their job or their business)

Some of the most knowledgeable people I’ve meet were dirt-poor.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

most academics/research roles. Huge competition, your life depends on winning grants, requires PhD and years of training, poverty-level salaries.

What is this? Some pseudo-wisdom from a “life coach” or something?

Serious question. What is "invest in mentors"? I can't figure this one out. Like you pay people to mentor you?

Also having been born into generational wealth and exploiting the finance system - that's the most famous rich-people-hobby.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I made the comment that rent should be tax deductible, just like a mortgage, and some rise and grind boot licking doofus said "you can if you run a home business." First of all, do you need to run a home business in a home you own to write off your mortgage? No Secondly, not everyone in the country can run a home business. Imagine the chaos.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Looks like an Amway ad.
