Having career and a sense of accomplishment gives us a certain confidence but the attitude is in how we conduct ourselves. Like just because I'm dressed up in my corporate business casual or whatever, doesn't automatically mean that I feel any sense of entitlement or that I'm unapproachable- think that's where the misconception starts. Working hard and finally attaining something that you planned out for a long time, makes you feel like the shyt bc you know what you're struggles and motivations are but doesn't mean you have to brag about it or project it. Think I may have mentioned this before, but one of the dudes in office services/mailroom; I talk to him more than anyone of my immediate coworkers at my firm bc we are relatable and we have more in common than what we initially thought. I open and receptive to anyone until they give me a reason not to be (except white people).
By 25-30, there should be some type of plan in the works (school, job experience) - side hustles are fine, but should have a career direction that is being planned out and implemented. Financial goals. At mid 30s, the work experience/education/training should come into play. But at this point, I but still feel stagnated and bored bc I feel stuck in the day to day and there's other options I want to pursue. Like I'm the type that would go crazy just sitting around waiting for someone to give me money, not having something productive to do or not doing something mentally engaging, I would get cranky af. I would expect the man that I'm dealing with to have that same type of attitude- if not, we're wasting time and I'll let him know.
