Unless you're in a very specific field (such as healthcare/attorney/etc which require certifications), education doesn't matter either. From my experience, looks don't really matter one iota in the professional field UNLESS you're some sort of a figurehead/spokesperson/etc. I have to file this particular article under the "B.S. NEWSWEEK says to get attention" heading  . |
Well, I dont kiss anyone's ass, and I especially will never sell myself out to get ahead so I guess I'll just be me, which I'm more than happy with, whether that leads to advancements in my job or not.
