[quote=Anonymous]It is a common trait of unsuccessful people to ascribe the success of others to luck. Sure I've had advantages, but they were contributory rather than key to my success. I had parents that valued education, putting me through college. But are most college graduates as successful as me? Apparently not. I studied an in-demand major, but are most computer science majors as successful as me? No. I graduated from college in 1999 and a year later the tech bubble burst. I left my field 5 years after that, went and got an MBA at a time that everyone and their dog got one too. My friends and family were laughing at me for leaving the comforts of my old career to get an MBA that was surely going to be worthless. Am I sitting here complaining about the poor luck I had with my career choice and graduation timing? No. I am f-ing living the American dream. [/quote]
