Good advice for college grads (or young workers in general)

Folks, the biggest obstacle to class mobility is... wait for it...  CULTURE!  Poor people don't talk the talk and walk the walk of rich people.  Your education level is pretty easy to discern by the way you speak, dress, and generally act.  Youndg people stumble most often because they can't, or won't, acculturate to the subculture of people who are older than them and wield power over them.  Therefore, they get relegated to menial jobs until they start acting like adults, whereby their supervisors suddenly recognize their potential.

Take this advice to heart:
