Instead of taking on large amounts of debt to finance my degree, I instead chose to take time off to work before going back to finish my degree at a more affordable but less prestigious institution. I gained lots of valuable work experience and learned a lot in my time off of school, but due to my age, the women I have the best connection with tend to already be professionals with a salary. While it's easy to lie and say I got one degree and am in the middle of going back to school for another, I'm not comfortable starting off a relationship with dishonesty. How do you recommend that I honestly portray my situation in a positive light while on a date?

In my industry, things can get a little cut throat. Last week the person I report to put the blame of their own mistake on me. I was forced to endure a scolding from a senior staff member in front of my manager. It was an uncomfortable situation and I felt that calling them out would have made matters worse.Welcome to corporate America. It’s kill or be killed. http://americangentleman.tumblr.com/post/37141495876http://americangentleman.tumblr.com/post/37141495876Mon, 03 Dec 2012 17:06:04 -0600Lesson No. 147: A Gentleman Waits for Everyone to be Served.
