Yeah I followed advice like this. It does not always work. I studied hard in college, I worked hard, and I was a programmer earning good money. I never learned how to deal with stress and the stress from the job caused a mental illness that forced me to go on disability. If I had to do it all over again I'd develop stress management skills along with people and social skills. Getting along with people who don't understand how technology works is a big deal. I don't know how to get back into working again and I'm 47 and barely getting by. Blew through my life savings and filed chapter 13 bankruptcy due to high medical bills. If I never developed that mental illness, I'd most likely still be working.
