There are certainly exceptions to this next statement: Let’s say the top 10% of students in a given field of study—the cream of the crop, so to speak. This post applies to those who make up the bell of the curve: Just because you have a degree from a prominent university doesn’t mean (for the vast majority) that you are entitled to a six-figure salary. The quality of education certainly helps your prospects of achieving success, but the people out there who are willing to work a lot harder ( and a lot smarter) can do just as well. In many cases, the work you find yourselves doing throughout your lifetime will bring as much (or more) satisfaction than the big payday right out of the gate.
What’s the relevance to this forum? Stopping the interruptions also means being relevant and setting yourself apart from the rest of the pack. Interruptions are unwelcome, irrelevant distractions. Unfortunately, anyone who doesn’t bring anything interesting or unique to the table for an employer to sink their teeth into are also interruptions.
The opportunity to make an impact on the world has never been greater. Go make it happen by bringing value to the interaction.
