      Mentors can be a legitimately good way to progress your career; but 100% of the online mentoring services are bullshit.

      Like, for anyone salaried in a corporate environment; pick someone ~3 rings higher than you on the ladder in a seperate department (e.g. Team Lead, Department Head, VP, GM etc.).

      They will be familiar enough with the business to provide useful guidance, helping you build up not only your skillset but your professional network. Because, the dirty secret is - after a certain point, it’s not necessarily what you know - it who you know.

    Any rich person born after 1993 can’t party. All they know is gym, invest in they mentors, not work, be knowledgeable, do business, and lie.

    It’s hilarious to me that, while the author is trying to own working-class people’s poor choice of hobbies, what it actually does is show the immense privilege of people whose only hobbies are various forms of “self improvement”.

      Isn’t musk posting on Twitter all day everyday that he is playing Diablo?

      (Sidenote: did you know musk is one of the top players in the leaderboard in Diablo iv? Totally unrelated; Did you know you can buy yourself, through gambling mechanics, quite an advantage with real money?)

      Alternately, rich kids just pay off the carnival workers for the big prize without playing the game at all

        there is only the working class and the owning class. those other classes were made up by the owning class, to divide the working class.

          Nowadays, there are really only two classes:

          • The Owners class, which is people who live off the money that’s made by the assets they own.
          • The Worker class, which is people who live off the money they get from selling their work.

          What was called “Middle Class” generally are just workers who earn a bit more, though the older Middle Class did at times manage to save enough to buy enough assets that they could start living of the income from those assets and not have to work anymore. That’s not the case for young people nowadays who would qualify as Middle Class due to their level of formal education and the kind of work they do because it’s way harder for them to save and asset prices are through the roof.

    It’s amazing how hourly workers brainwashed themselves into believing that they’re entrepreneurs.

    They really believe the nonsense that bro podcasters sell them.

    They’ll be 40 in an hourly retail position wondering where everything went wrong.
