At 21 I was getting burned out since our company was downsizing and placing the file load unto me. I was doing 3 peoples&#8217; jobs and was working for a very hard boss who would ask me to skip classes in order to meet deadlines.<\/p>\n<p>Well, one evening after a very tough day of work and school, I went on my Myspace account (this is 2007, mind you) and blogged about my boss and the horrible experience I was having. Not realizing that someone in my office was one of my \u201cfriends\u201d and had forwarded the not so nice blog to my manager.<\/p>\n<p>The next day I received an email stating that I was to clean up my desk and leave my ID badge at the admin\u2019s desk. I was devastated. I moved from my home in Florida to this Dallas, TX firm and had no real family and friends that I could rely on to get me through my schooling. So I quit college and packed up to my mother\u2019s house. I went online and found an insurance job in Connecticut and decided I would not return to academia. After about 3 years of being the low man on the totem pole, I realized that I needed to go back to school and have a balanced work\/life experience. So here I am very grateful for everything I\u2019ve learned so far to better myself and excited about getting back to the corporate world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instructor\u2019s Comments:<\/strong>\u00a0It shows that failing to be vigilant in all aspects of your life can cost you.
