AGH! My boss makes me so mad

[TheSaint]

Me? Sleep with a Saints fan?

Ill let you hold my Lombardi.

He is a huge geek, but I think hes more of a Star TREK geek than Star Wars.......and I dont think his halloween costume has anything to do with being a man/whatever Jabba is

[boo7382]

I was thinking more along these lines

[Scrumtrilescent]

I'd tend to disagree.

Any sales exec worth a crap will tell you the first step is just getting a foot in the door.

It helps when that foot is attached to a shapely leg.

Why would anyone give the time of day to a fat slovenly dude when the competition looks so much better?

It requires the attractive sales person to have the more rare gift of actually knowing how to sell and finalizing it that makes the difference.

Teh hotness just makes the door opening easier.

We had a lab sales show here last week. Think about research scientists around sales reps. It's great entertainment.

Ugh, I hate bosses that don't have college degrees. They should never promote those people. You spend $100,000 on an education and they get to be the boss because they got a head start in the work force before you. Then you start questioning why you went to college in the first place.

find another industry.

But, just having a degree doesnt mean much. Plenty of moron bosses with degrees.

No poo. I'd never be in an industry where the bosses didn't have degrees.

if you go all out with a college degree I'm sure it's worth it..

but I'd venture to say 30%-40% (at least) are wasting away time and money..

or maybe... if you make over $70,000, perhaps it was worth all the student loans and a few easier doors to open..

unless you aren't an idea person and truly need a helping hand..

so very true.. not to mention the people who haven't made it to boss and haven't figured out how to think on their feet..

the education system is actually pretty fuged..

In my experience, the requirement for a degree depends on the level of managment. The group I work in is a mixture of people, some with four year degrees, while the others are mostly military veterans. Immediate supervisors don't necessarily need a degree and promotion to that level is based on ability. But a degree is almost an requirement to move into upper level managment. Its not a written rule, but I don't know anyone above supervisor that doesn't have a degree.

Of course, the folks that have the easiest path are the ones that have both a degree and experience, military or otherwise.

Ha! Conjures up an image.

Like a viking party minus the studliness and the fair maidens stroll in.

Your odds of not having a degree and making over $70k are much less than if you did.

As for wasting it, i think its what you make of it. Having a degree doesnt give you a fast track to success.
