You could go to school for 20 years and you still won’t learn as much as you would on the job. There are just some things college won’t prepare you for.
Things like how to deal with an awful coworker, or how to negotiate for a better salary. Maybe you just have to learn how to leave a job that isn’t making you happy. We all stress about our careers so if we can help each other out by sharing things we’ve learned along the way, I think it will make the world a better place.
This viral thread started by @angelamavalla has people sharing the biggest lesson employment has taught them and I found it pretty insightful. Especially the one about how good work is always rewarded with more work.
