It's going to take a lot more than $12k to get me to move to Detroit.

I've been harassed by women and have friends that have been also. Some women think that any man they choose wants to have sex with them. This is conditioning and archaic attitudes at work but let's not add to it by acting like only men are capable of being creepers. I know #notallmen is a joke, but it's true here.

It is called capitalism, I call it robbery.

I've never understood this joke. Like, is that a real thing? I've slept with a guy or two (or multiples of those numbers) and never has a guy been unable to "find" the clitoris.

I gave $2500 to a "career coach" who did absolutely nothing.

It's almost always creatives that are asked to gratefully give away their work for free. You don't see doctors or engineers working for exposure.

Pro tip: exposure doesn't pay your rent. Don't work for free. If they want you to work, they can pay you.

Gym membership to Bally's. I was 19 and home for the summer from college, they promised me that I could cancel when I went back to school. I asked specific questions and received many assurances, but it doesn't matter what they say orally, that's not what the contract said. I paid that thing for 3 damn years. I read…

Agreed. Americans have very strange ways of letting their employers game them.

Only even read the article to confirm those were all knives, the ties just made it worse.

3 different kinds of knives, and zip ties? This is like a serial killer's go bag.

I certainly think it's almost never a good idea to work for free, whether it's an 'internship' (while there are some legit internships, many aren't), a 'contest' or other spec work where you make something on your own dime on the chance you get paid, or the eyeroll-inducing 'exposure.' But if you're convinced it's a…

(donning flame proof suit) This is what girls do.

I agree 100% with this statement. In my experience, I haven't started on a new position knowing all the stuff that was needed, but it was related somehow.

My high school desperately tried to teach us how to save money, make resumes, get a job, etc. It was required learning. And nobody took it seriously. Personally I tried, but it made no sense. Kids generally don't know shit about what they plan on doing with their lives at 13-18 years old. Add to that I went to a…

This should be one of those classes that are taught in the US, Gun safety, but it's right up there with Sex Ed things some parents object to. I was thankfully raised by a hunter, so gun safety was taught to me at an early age. Not early enough for my dad, but too early for my mom's taste.

Between busy parents and an awful school system, I had to teach myself just about everything. I had to figure out how to tie my own shoes, drive a car, money management, the whole bit. That means I'm great at teaching myself, but I have serious problems when a person does try to actually teach me something. It just…

Oooh, I had this same problem after college. Why didn't anybody tell me that 10 years out some companies will still want to know my GPA?

How important high school grades are.

Personal finance, how loans work, how to make a budget, basic investments (CDs, 401k, IRA, savings account)
