I said nothing about wealth/opportunity inheritors being lazy. Many work hard and aren't bad people. I was commenting about the dream of success and how its skewed to tell people that they can do whatever they want, and that they can creat

Agreed, so many hide behind the veil of hard work and its a lie, most got to their successful points in life based on the wealth opportunity provided by finances or friends. Society needs to begin to look at and understand wealth in this ma

I suspect majority of the people who are technically "rich" as you put it have either inherited wealth or opportunity in life, and though they cloud it with epic stories of hard work, they started out ahead of the game, and with money to bu

I think its amazing how with all the Ivy League Scientists that have been thrown at this leak, none have managed to effect a brilliant solution to this problem that can actually work. Maybe we need to rethink exactly what qualifies someone

I am tired of being offered $120k for a 3month contract without things like parking, vacation, and health benefits. I am lucky to be employed full time currently. I always ignore recruiter calls of that kind because what it really means is

Having a cover letter is an extra, your resume is the center piece. You can have a resume without a cover letter, but you can't have a cover letter without a resume. Not including a cover letter helps me to get in the door, if a potential e

I write quite well and could indeed craft an excellent custom cover letter but I refuse to include cover letters when applying for jobs and I've never had problems landing great interviews and jobs. Letting my experience and educational bac

Yes, that could work, but I am primarily complaining about Microsoft's inability over the years to bring reliable spam filtering back, and about the total inadequacy of my BlackBerry to filter spam to begin with. I shouldn't have to use a c

I create drupal and wordpress sites currently but not apps, customers are so chincy and difficult to work with because they don't understand the tech at all. I want to get deeper because I need to create something that will stabilize my lif
