[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To build "grit"? Seems self defeating, big picture.[/quote] What exactly is your concern, or are you just trolling?[/quote] I'd take a kid with "grit" and who has the "skills" one picks up at an ice cream scooping job - ie working with people who might not be like you/might be difficult, doing tasks that might be unpleasant but need to be done anyway, dealing with the public, etc. - over a calculus or coding whiz without those skills every.single.time. (Not that the two are mutually exclusive, but I just really don't understand where people get this absurd idea that hard skills like coding are more important than soft skills like teamwork and communication. Unless you're a Steve Jobs type genius, you're not going to get very far in the workforce if churning out math is the only thing you can bring to the table.)[/quote] +1 from someone who both worked in high school AND coded.
