This is what people don’t get. And to be truthful, I didn’t understand it either when I was 20 years old. Because nobody told me any of that stuff.
What people don’t really acknowledge is the ‘institutional knowledge’ is far more important than grades and degrees. And what people miss that wealthier folks teach their kids that stuff, because well, they have first hand knowledge of it. And that matters way way more than ‘connections’ and ‘wealth’ per se.
And when companies are hiring, your personality fit who the people who are hiring you is really the biggest factor. As much as people claim hiring is experience/skills based, it’s really all ‘vibes’ in the end. Looking and talking ‘the part’ is what works more than anything else, that’s why bullshitters are so successful in life.
Pragmatic and practical advice and perspective.
