That gives him more credibility in the subject as opposed to you sitting at your computer saying his experience doesn't mean shit cause he didn't devote his life to it He "did" the job indeed. That isn't the same thing as "working" at the job. He went into the job as "actor" and left as "actor" and during the entire process was "actor". Not once was he "shit cleaner" or "janitor".

He's a communications graduate that hasn't worked an actual "dirty job" in his life. Are you seriously trying to say that working in the sewers every day for your entire life is the same as working for at most 20 hours while getting paid substantially more and becoming famous are really the same thing? Also this guy is literally a white attractive male who became famous with a garbage degree. His "ethos" that he's presenting is laughable, same with his trivializing of harsh socio-economic systems. This is literally bootstraps said from the prototypical vantage of success. You can all sycophant and rationalize that you too are like him!

| Topic | studying literally does nothing |
| IllegalAlien 05/16/17 3:11:16 PM #19 | In grad school grades are very lenient. For those of you who have not experienced it, normally you need to maintain a C average to stay in school as a Masters student (A- for PhD). However a C is equivalent to a hardcore F in undergrad. The average tends to be curved to a B+ and a fair grade for an A is about an 80% depending on the difficulty level of the class. That being said, studying definitely works out well for you. --- "Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience." |

You need to put passion into it and keep grinding, also having some level of perfectionism (OCD) is good.
