Mentors can be a legitimately good way to progress your career; but 100% of the online mentoring services are bullshit.

Like, for anyone salaried in a corporate environment; pick someone ~3 rings higher than you on the ladder in a seperate department (e.g. Team Lead, Department Head, VP, GM etc.).

They will be familiar enough with the business to provide useful guidance, helping you build up not only your skillset but your professional network. Because, the dirty secret is - after a certain point, it’s not necessarily what you know - it who you know.

Any rich person born after 1993 can't party. All they know is gym, invest in they mentors, not work, be knowledgeable, do business, and lie.

Some of the most knowledgeable people I’ve meet were dirt-poor.

[-] Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 38 points 7 months ago

most academics/research roles. Huge competition, your life depends on winning grants, requires PhD and years of training, poverty-level salaries.

I don't think this individual understands what a hobby is. Your job by definition is not a hobby.

Man, I knowledged so hard today.

[-] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 49 points 7 months ago

It's hilarious to me that, while the author is trying to own working-class people's poor choice of hobbies, what it actually does is show the immense privilege of people whose only hobbies are various forms of "self improvement".

[-] painfulasterisk1@lemmy.ml 42 points 7 months ago

TIL, that Donald and Mush partying at Epstein Island is considered a hobby for the poor.

[-] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Isn't musk posting on Twitter all day everyday that he is playing Diablo?

(Sidenote: did you know musk is one of the top players in the leaderboard in Diablo iv? Totally unrelated; Did you know you can buy yourself, through gambling mechanics, quite an advantage with real money?)

So I am middle class then. Man why does it still feel poor?

[-] chocosoldier 11 points 7 months ago

there is only the working class and the owning class. those other classes were made up by the owning class, to divide the working class.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 11 points 7 months ago

It’s amazing how hourly workers brainwashed themselves into believing that they’re entrepreneurs.

They really believe the nonsense that bro podcasters sell them.

They’ll be 40 in an hourly retail position wondering where everything went wrong.

"So, do you have any hobbies?"

"Yep! I like job, invest in mentors, knowledge..."

Ask yeah - Elon "I'm in the global top 10 in Diablo" Musk sure doesn't have gaming as a hobby...

He left off being a demerit to any society they touch.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 16 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Rich people having movie theatres, expensive gaming rigs at home whitelist surrounded by PAs & maids sounds like the first category.

Only the buying/renting/paying people with actual knowledge is kinda from the second.

But it's options.
Rich people have options, the luxury to choose whatever - they have the time (no job or financial-survivor stress) to choose said options, and if they fail also the financial safety net with catch them comfortably/without years of additional debt.

The 24h of a rich person are not the same as 24h of an average person.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 14 points 7 months ago

The actual bullshit message behind this:

A rich person is a good person and a smart person.

In posted this, so I am signaling to you that I am a good and smart person that will be rich if I’m not already.

Obviously the #1 life goal of all people is to be rich, so you should all be like me, and you should be ashamed when you take time to enjoy existence.

(Disclaimer: I’m not shitting on people who enjoy or find fulfillment in their job or their business)

Serious question. What is "invest in mentors"? I can't figure this one out. Like you pay people to mentor you?

Knowledge

[-] sxan@midwest.social 11 points 7 months ago

In all fairness, this seems like one of those motivational posters where English isn't the native language. I suspect that what the person is trying to say: "if you want to stay poor, keep these habits. If you want to become rich, learn these habits." It utterly discounts the fact that, in the US, upward mobility has stagnated; the secret to becoming rich in the US is to be born rich. It's not impossible to improve your economic status, but it's hard. In some countries, it's still possible to move up a tax bracket within a decade.

I think American eyes read this differently than how the author intended.

I will call out that putting "work" in the poor row is BS, no matter what your philosophy. The only person I personally know who went from middle-middle class to lower upper has no personal life. He is his work. He's family and we often vacation together, and I've never been on a vacation with him when he didn't spend multiple hours on each of the days in meetings or on his computer. He's nearing 60 and is home about 50% of the year, and the rest of it he's traveling. We have a pool going for how long he'll stay retired before he commits himself to some board or something that demands half his time.

There's are three ways to get rich: inheritance, crime, and becoming your job.

Wow, this is such bullshit.

[-] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Also having been born into generational wealth and exploiting the finance system - that's the most famous rich-people-hobby.
