- What you need to do is exactly that.. spend some nights with a sorority
- girl (or several of them). You'll be a much more well-rounded person,
- which in my opinion, is the single most important employee characteristic.

- spent his whole life in front of a computer and has no other interests or
- talent or life, we don't want him.. not for $20k a year, not for
- ANYTHING!!

- Well, Jeff, as they say, that's the "biz". It's a tough one. If you
- can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.. and all of those other
- phrases. The entertainment biz can be brutal.. _is_ more brutal than
- anything. If you want to make it, you've gotta pay the dues and roll with
- the punches.
