[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kid dreams of back office jobs?  I barely know what they do.  Clearly these kids are just repeating what their parents tell them.[/quote]

If you are in a working class job, having your kid work in a back office job is a step up - this is what makes America great. A back office guy who I deal with at my bank is the son of someone who was a security guard at the same bank. The security guard spent years standing there watching people walk into the building dressed nicely and going to jobs where they could sit down and do something that seemed important. So back office was a huge step up.

The key is staying in your lane. Everyone should have pride in their work and existence. But don't act like someone who you're not. Which is what so many of these people do. Rather than doing his job as well as he can and keeping quiet and learning from others at the bank, the guy I deal with tries to keep up with them. And he fails miserably. And they make fun of him (I do not). Unlike others in his group who are just nice, normal people who are treated with respect because they aren't wanna-bes.[/quote]

Totally agree and know what you are describing. But I'm sure the know-it-alls here will rake you over the coals. Sorry.[/quote]
