What is the worst piece of advice you've ever gotten?

If I were in recruiting I would be asking myself (and I would probably also ask the candidate) why someone with an MBA is applying for a driving position instead of a management position.

 

Can confirm. You can follow us to the freeway, but that's probably about it.

 

Managing people is soul sucking.

Some humans, just DO NOT understand theyre adults, eventually you realize being in management for normal jobs is more like adult daycare and not worth it in the long run.

Now, upper management of a fortune 500, hell ya that's a cake walk.

 

I never mentioned having an MBA during the interview process. I don’t recall the trucking job applications asking what my highest level of education is. If someone asked me how I got into trucking I have mentioned that I couldn’t find a job in an office after graduating.

 

I manage a bunch of truck drivers now...truckers, bikers and 13 year old girls are pretty much on the same emotional level.

 

Sometimes mechanics too….not always but sometimes

 

I think that’s about everyone anymore.
