of course i got here because of connections and absolutely would not have otherwise.
a lot of people don't realize how utterly nepotistic things are. it really is all about connections for nearly all well paying jobs.
many of my former friends are in a bad state but few of them are able to think beyond the impulsive hedonism of the present. the ones that will do well are mostly ones who naturally can handle social life without it getting in the way of hardcore studying.

everything is about connections.
they have a nicer term for it now: networking.
but that's all it is.
people are not understanding that the future has no jobs. it's all about providing services or opening a small business that provides services to another small business in an endless orgy.
so get it hard.
also, i just found some money in the drawer. ordering food.
