What was the best pice of career advice you've been given and what did you do with it.9

[Marti]

Dead honest true.
Couple of years ago I asked two unrelated friends what was the key to their successful, 6 figure salary, careers in highly competitive fields. Answers (verbatim) were,
"Know which arse to pucker (kiss) up to?" And the other was
"Know where the blame is going for any project you're involved in that might go wrong".
Since I had respect for both people and lacked both these skills I forged a new path which, with a few dead ends, led me here.
How about you guys and girls?

Seems there is some new wave advice, take plenty of freddos to work with you, some say all sparkies should eat freddos, what ever they are.

I own three small but profitable businesses so I guess I listened.

Every job that pays a half-decent wage is gonna be stressful, so you might as well qualify for one that pays big money, then at least you get nice stuff for all the hassle.
