Daily interaction with people who are clearly in very different socioeconomic circles than you is so godamn exhausting. I studied with a bunch of rich kids when I was a child and I still have self-esteem problems 20 years later.
Harvard is overrated anyway. You're not going to get a better education, you're just going to be around a lot of rich people.

No, you just lack breadth in your understanding of life. People have different personalities, Bukowski clearly had a personality that caused him to despise the 9-5 work environment. He grww up with people telling him if he didn't work 9-5 he would be a dirty bum hippie. That explains his hatred for the 9-5.

What defines being "good at sales"? Is it selling more things, or is it making your customers happy? It seems that in today's corporate world being good at sales means you sell lots of things, regardless of whether your customers are happy or not.

It's a great thing that we have all these brilliant minds who just sit at home theorizing about life. How else would I know how stupid I am and how I'm doing X wrong and why Y is better than Z.
