Femininity, clothing, and dealing with heat- was Re: [TheForge] Watch Rob kill me

Philip;

   I've seen this happen too.

Seems you get a bunch of people all with college degrees that have
never worked a serious job or handled what they have studied at all.
They get into a job and trash a product because they ignorantly think
they have made more money.    When they learn what they have done,
they honestly want to make it better again.

    I've seen people that built a business by hand and without an
extensive education, start hiring people with degrees to help them run
it.   Next thing you know the degrees and their lawyers own the
company and run it into the ground, BUT, the degrees walk away with
big money over the collapse of the company... SUCCESS!!

   Ok... spare me the defense of the degree, I know it's not the
education that causes it.  Starting about 30-40 years ago, parents
thought the kids needed to have their way paid through college, so
they did, even though they fought their own way up.  Putting your kid
through college became like having an in ground pool or a third car.
Created a group of people with their hands out and an expectation of
privilege.  These are now the people running every company in the
world.  YES....there will be a few exceptions.
