> I worked at McDonald's. It helped make me the man I am
A lot of people say this. How can you be sure you are not just kidding yourself into thinking the time you spent doing something actually quite unproductive was useful?
If you were a man of titles and wealth from a family of the same, and you overheard a lean stranger say to a man of some skilled employ to you: "The best servants burned down estate once..." how would that make you feel?
...Especially, if you knew that was true?
Keep feeling; invert class.
Mark, have you also considered advice to burn estates? It is analogous from the under up as your flipping burgers is from the over down.
