I think it's one of those situations that is only going to be clear in some measure of hindsight. After all, any short-term benefit might be offset by the backlash when the media either evolves, or people (as they are now) gain access

>Unless you want to be a female F500 CEO, then you're out of luck... Of which, only 4 are female, and that's what I explicitly was talking about, as opposed to S&P. To be honest though, 4.4% of S&P CEO's, when wome

That's pretty much true, and even when it isn't there's no way to tell except in hindsight. It's best to give your full effort and as you say, try to relentlessly self-improve, because that at least has some hope of work

On the other hand, HVAC (I mean, that's what it is right?) must confer a huge advantage, even in its relatively early and primitive stages. You probably save loads of energy with even a degree in the right direction, especially when

This hurts to admit, but when I searched to find where I had gotten that idea... it was a survey on USA Today! I'm ashamed. In fact what I did find was a bunch of CEO's expressing a total willingness to be spear bald if it they co

It is, but it can unfortunately blind people to a lack of other qualifications. Of course, I don't mean that "charismatic people are unqualified". Obviously Steve Jobs was quite charismatic and did impressive things for his c
