If history repeats it itself as it has time and time again the order to stop shocking people will be a temporary "victory". There has been many times over the last 30 years when it seemed the... |

| You definitely need to know how to work well with a group as a lot of higher paying professional jobs are very collaborative and team oriented. This is probably far more important than the skills needed for the job itself. To get,keep, and grow in your job today I agree. For the long term overall g... |
