Jythier's Articles In Just Hanging Out

I think there's something missing in the curriculum of many schools these days. Sure, they teach people about certain fields. But what seems to be lacking is communication of that field to others who need to know. What I'm saying is that, in my curriculum as an accountant, I learned how to speak in the accounting language. But there was no course that taught how to relate that back to people in other fields, specifically managers. Now, in a college with accounting and business managmen...

I know you know that you can't park there. If you could park there, you would have just turned off the car and went inside. But no.

Let's have great discussions about stuff, and misunderstand each other on purpose, and argue back and for...

Throughout my life, everything has come pretty easy to me. I could play sports as a kid, pretty decently in fact. School was a cinch, and nobody really tried to get me to apply myself. So I have never truly learned to put effort into anything. Now I am faced with a career. I have a career ahead of me, but I will have to put effort into it in order to sustain it. I also have children at home, and I have to put the effort there, too, to father them properly and spend time with them. An...
