Today I have found how true this comic strip played in my life after college. The Long Term Nursing Home D.O.N. says " I did not hire you on a trial contract(I work for a medical temp agency) because of your college degree nor your 17 years experience in the health field ( I have work as a Nursing aid). I hired you because you are a C.N.A.(stands for cleans nasty ass's). We feel that you're not the type of employee we would want her. GeeZ! So what they had a stomach bug building wide during my trial contract and everyone working on the floor got it repeatedly! She continued to say 6 absences is a red flag to our company in a year-you did it in a week. So sorry I wanted the A-I-T program to be the administrator at some nursing home:) but I do have cross training in the health field with a degree. Needless to say, I am looking for another j-o-b.Me and my big mouth. Does a degree and experience account for anything?

@sidewinderguy He did. But the company stole it and fired Dilbert for doing so in company time.

I'd be cool if Scott did a series where Dilbert gets a startup going! It would have to fail of course, but that'd be entertaining for sure.

This particular strip reminded of a recent blog post by Steve Pavlina that I loved but a lot of my friends with corporate jobs had a hard time accepting.The blog post is called "10 Reasons You Should Never Get a Job".
You can find it at:
http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2006/07/10-reasons-you-should-never-get-a-job/
I already had my own list called "Top-10 Reasons Why You Should Never Work at a Real Job" on my website UnrealJob.com but Steve Pavlina's is much better.
Mine is locacated at
http://www.unrealjob.com/10-Reasons-to-Never-Work-at-a-Real-Job.html
But then again, as someone once said, "Working for a corporation makes a life of deception more easily concealed." Or was that in previous Dilbert cartoon?
