Yet wages remain depressed. You have a hard time connecting dots, I see.

You connect dots as if an individual's fate is mostly determined by powers outside his control. I connect dots as if an individual mostly controls his own fate. From my view, although real wages may not be growing, a particular individual can experience greater success than his peers by making smart choices.

I wonder that myself sometimes, but I keep getting raises and could change employers any time I like. Go figure. |
