RE: Steemians, is college the reason why you are successful today?

in #steem7 years ago

Well said! I'm working on a blog for tomorrow right now. I would love if you could comment on my blog tomorrow since it is much more personal and related to my job. I like the idea of hunting for customers rather than a job, but that in itself is a risky proposition since my field of work often goes to large companies rather than smaller ones.

Sort:  

"...comment..." - No prob. I'm following you, so it will pop up in my feed.

"...rather than a job..." - Self employment / freelancing is not for everyone. It came up because it illustrates my vita and you definitely don't need a college degree to get there (but it helps). For employment, one hunts occasionally. For customers or freelance jobs, ALL THE TIME. Very stressful for people who don't enjoy that kind of thing, or deal well with rejection.

Not to forget: How does your significant other feel about it, especially in financial slumps? On 9/11 I was in real estate, no listings, only relocation buyers acquired on-line. With people scared to fly (remember?) and an entire country insecure about the future, I sold JACK to nobody for months. Serious belt tightening ensued, and the wife hated it more than she "loved" me. Divorce, significant portions of the nest egg to her and the lawyers...
