Facebook's underclass: staffers enjoy perks, contractors barely get by

I moved to San Francisco with no money and 50,000 in college debt with a degree that wasn't worth much at the start of the great recession. No one wanted to hire me. Yet I pulled through.

Having a bad attitude is the worst advice.

Easily said when you're young, unbound and without family.

I met a lyft driver yesterday: a man from Afghanistan who quit his day job is starting a business (a smoke shop in Santa Rosa). He has a family and he said

"I have had many businesses in my life, I fail and I try again, I fail and I try again".

He lost his home in the war and is literally starting at zero. It is really about a positive attitude vs a shit attitude.

Ok, eliminate anyone who meets that criteria and the criticism remains valid.
