it just goes to show you, its not all in paperwork.
recently a friend and i secretly switched job operations in different departments for the day. the reason for this, was he is leaving and my contract is expired - so we really had nothing to lose and wanted to experiment.

Without getting into too much detail, his job requirements need vast amounts of degrees, diplomas, diplomatic experience, government experience and all this bullshit that basically the top 5% of the world qualifies for - and i certainly have none of, cept a pissant little overpriced degree that has nothing to do with the job itself.

so away i go, for the entire day, posing as my friend dean. Workshops, one on one admin work with some of the top businessmen in japan, and NO one suspected a thing. at the end of the day, i had a small card handed to me signed by all of the men in my day workshop expressing how great i did.

bottom line, all i can think about tonight is how much bullshit is placed on job requirements in this day and age.
degree this, diploma that, experience in this, that and the other thing. Bullshit. you dont need any of it, its just their way of feeling better about themselves for getting the right man for the job. How many dickheads do YOU know with a degree that know absolutely nothing about the real world? because i know plenty.

all of my friends back home dont have degrees. they are all smarter than i am. anyone i know back home could of done what i did today.
this society is an absolute laugh when it comes to this sort of thing and every day when i am sipping on my shit ass coffee, which by the way the japanese know nothing about making, i laugh when i look at requirements for job positions in the classified ads.

look at me. i wear a 2500 dollar armani suit and i have freshly pressed slacks on. as i walk to work today, i will get respect. when i stop for coffee, people will get it on the double because i am a sharp looking man. i will order the most expensive coffee on the menu, because that is what is expected of me.

and when i finally get to my job interview, they will be so impressed that i have sat in an institution for 19 years of my life, and have a paper that says i did, mind you ive never been outside of a 200km radius of my state, i will get this job. i will nail it.
and ill be set up for life.

Yeah you have a point. My experience with getting degrees (somehow i'm attracted to these stupid pieces of paper) is that all it takes to get them is learn to believe you can make it and convince yourself you want to make it.

yeah, like the choice to drink shit ass coffee.

try a Blenz coffeehouse.

The ONLY things a degree does now is open doors. I gurantee you probably would not be in the position you are now in without showing the Japanese government that you went through some college education. They will feel for the embossment on the paper, but they aren't going to test you on your courses.

So, you could have just stopped in to Bangkok first and picked up a mighty fine degree right off the street.

However, the process of going to college has one other advantage- networking. A mulitude of today's business partnerships started on college campuses back in the seventies and eighties. It's still that way now- but more than likely, that 4-year networking scheme is only going to help with the first job out of the womb of university. Everything else afterwards on your arse as a performer and where you position yourself.

And that, my friend, is something they could never teach in an institution.
