I outlasted every single manager while working at a major pizza chain in the late 90s. I also outlasted every single dishwasher at my last long term job. 

I hate  to burst everyone's bubble here, but the days of lifetime careers regardless of position or class, are growing fewer and fewer.

So, you spend longer at a dead end, go nowhere job than your co-workers.

And you’re proud of that?

REALLY?

I can't believe you. As much as you rightfully rail against Trump and I'd hope you'd also rail against the likes of Hitler and Stalin, they were "successful" too, at least for a while.

Most humans WILL NOT be famous and end up in history books, good or bad, hero or villain. 

I have known and met plenty of people in my life, who will not be the likes of say Richard Dawkins or Sam Harris. And my late best friend Bob, was long ago, the very reason I know what I know now. He had an engineering degree. Bob introduced me to all the famous atheists I am familiar with now. He died broke and his sister and her husband took care of him late in his life because of his financial struggles. 

If you stupidly think that life is about title I feel sorry for you.

Again, if anyone reading this, not just you, thinks title and class are everything, the next time you go to a fast food joint tell the person behind the counter they are worthless.

If you cant or wont do that, THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP.
