“It is incumbent upon you to put a fucking boot in the face of the soulless careerist.”
Welcome back, Deezers!
Today, you need to read Choire Sicha’s “Some Advice for Young People” from his olden days at The Awl. It’s some much needed real talk about career climbing and the personalities who make it seem so soulless — useful for anyone also trying to figure out that weird oh, okay, so we’re doing this 9 to 5 work thing again, huh zone of despair/panic that inevitably follows a few idyllic days passed out on your parents’ couch.
For everyone who wants to **Tyra Banks ANTM voice** be on top (or just make enough $$ to not have to look hopefully at your ‘rents whenever you mention how it would be cool to pay for heating this winter), there’s some comfort in knowing that A) YES, you’re not crazy, B) Other people are, and C) There are ways to deal with them. You got this.
