The problem with dumping extremism into your profession is that it doesn’t work the way sports do. In career, you can’t measure yourself, and it doesn’t even matter because pedigree and politics beat hard work and skill every time.
- Taylor_OD 8y agoThat may be true but I'm not competing with folks that have strong pedigree's and connections every time. Sometimes I'm even the one with connections that help me beat someone else out.
- Datenstrom 8y ago> pedigree and politics beat hard work and skill every time. I can't agree with this as a universal truth. Personally I only got noticed and landed a job at NASA because of hard work and skill. I was hired for my current job based on capability also. Places that are capability based have been great to work at. I don't even have a degree which is very unusual in my particular field. I do agree it is generally true though.
