  1. Agreed. I don't think crappy jobs like burger flipper, cashier or retail always necessarily teach the lessons that Jeremy thinks they do. Bad habits can be developed too, and you're much more likely to meet shitty people that will cause you to develop those habits working those jobs.

  2. "Dream jobs" are just that. I originally wanted to be a game developer. Applied to my dream studio, id Software, and lo and behold -- they expected me to know how to write C++ code on paper. I had only ever written Java and C#. There were literally no resources for this at my school, even though id Software is very local. And, to be blunt, the... difficulties involved with developing in C++ highly disincentivize learning it in one's spare time. In retrospect, it was naive for me to think I wasn't going to be prompted with C++, but hey, I was like 20. I had already participated in game production labs, too, where students work together for a whole semester to make a game demo. We didn't use C++ though. I didn't want to work on shitty mobile games, and I had no capital to raise to start a studio. So I said fuck it, and went to commercial software. Best decision I ever made. Never been the victim of crunch for more than a few days at a time.

  3. I had my first ever job at 22. I was busy going to college. Fun fact, I tried to get a job stocking inventory at Target in high school. They wouldn't hire me, and I have no idea why to this day. Don't think I said anything bad during the interview. Don't really regret my decisions now. I don't really get why retail or fast food is a curse that people willingly bestow upon young people. It's fucking horrible, and should be avoided at all costs. To play devil's advocate for a moment here, sometimes C-level executives make shockingly stupid decisions. That first job I worked on one of the core software teams at a dating website you have certainly heard of. I worked there for all of 6 months before me and about 90 other people were laid off. At that time, I was building an entirely new database for the company using NoSQL because they were based on Microsoft SQL Server, which is extremely expensive. Before that I completely revamped the testing interface for the searching/matching algorithm because it was based on stinky old jQuery code. My boss approved of that, so I'm pretty sure I didn't make it worse. A couple of weeks after, I found out through someone I know still working there that the CTO was fired. I suspect that debacle was his doing. Or worse, it was the CEO's idea to begin with, and the CTO objected. Even more stupidly, they gave me 3 months of severance for working there 6 months. I never complained, but it seems stupid to give a guy with no tenure making $55k a year 3 months of severance.

  4.  @chocobrowniewin  I didn't have a job until I left college. My only difficulty was adjusting to the 2 PM sleepiness.
