Really.. Thats the worst advice you could ever give people. Times are tough, you should do what you have to do to get a leg up on the competition. As a man if you have a female boss and you're lucky enough to get her in bed then why not? Just don't go bragging about it, and make sure you take pictures, they may come in handy. If your a woman then it's actually in your best interest to sleep with your male boss for two reasons. (1) cause you can, (2) cause you can. Just as I said earlier, don't brag about it and take pictures. For you guys that have a guy boss, offer to by him drinks, slip him a roofy, get him naked with you, and take pictures. It just that simple. For a woman with a woman boss this works just as well however to avoid killing your boss, split the roofy in half if they weigh less then 120lbs. I made this mistake one too many times. Don’t sleep with your boss? Really.. Thats the worst advice you could ever give people.

Except #23. Is that supposed to be a joke or is sleeping with your boss a common problem? I thought only happened in the movies. Then again I'm a straight man and my boss is a man so its not an issue. Great advice! Except #23. Is that supposed to be a joke or is sleeping with your boss a common problem?

Point #7 is a great one. Although living with your parents saves you money, time and effort that you can use for other things... it doesn't teach independence/self reliance which is just as important as one's finances.

Meaning that unless you're brilliant, get a large inheritance or invent the next cool gadget, you're going to have to work your way the old-fashioned way, through hard work. Don't expect instant gratification. Dont' take shortcuts. It's possible to do well in life and still live a life that's ethical, responsible and kind to animals.
