Reminds me of the old phrase, re: academia: "The competition is so high because the stakes are so low." There is something really weird, at least to me, in working so extraordinarily hard to prove yourself worthy of serving someone/some company. But that's just me.

In my dads day, working at IBM would've earned great prestige. On graduation day for me, working at Microsoft would have earned prestige the same year Google incorporated. So...fuck prestige.
