In Reply To: I am tired of all the arrogance I see on this website and its boards, and the message they convey. It seems that in today's "elite" world as envisioned by this website, all you should care about in your life and career is the price of your Armani suit, whether going to a community college instead of Harvard was a bad choice, how much you are getting to be paid, and how much schmoozing is required to get the job. Whether you will like your job is, apparently, a superfluous criterion because if you're well paid and part of a so-called "elite", then you have nothing to complain about. That's materialism at its worst. I am surprised to see that people working in a well-paid area in which 99% of the population couldn't work because of education and experience requirements still find something to whine about. It is a most elitist behaviour, and it should tell a lot about how much people in the spheres this website targets are full of themselves. It's so hard to look down at more unfortunate people in society, isn't it?
Message: You and I must be reading totally different message boards, because I'm not getting that at all. I think most people here are just trying to make a living, which is getting harder and harder to do every year. Being able to pay your rent is not a luxury, but you have to have a job to do it. Why are you here if you don't need a job?
