Buying your job cheapens the industry. Be forewarned. Defecate in your bed, and tomorrow you must lie in it. It's always the new guy that thinks he's special, that the rules don't apply, that he can do it to get ahead...the gotta-have-it-now generation. But wait a few years down the line when you're whining about how poor the pay is, how low the respect, the lack of security, and how you can't seem to get ahead because the employer will just take on someone who is willing to buy their job, rather than give you a raise.
All the touchy-feely garbage about good luck with your decision is wasted breath. Buying a job is a cancer to the industry.
Do you think that you are in a predicament that somehow none of the rest of us have ever felt? Not hardly. Why earn money for a new stereo when there is credit to buy it now? Why walk to the store when you can drive? Why train at the dojo that takes ten years to achieve your first belt, when you can have the black belt locally for two hundred dollars down and a hundred bucks a month...in two years? Why not skip paying your dues, earning your experience (which cannot be bought), and just buy the job? Why not, indeed?
You make your bed. You lie in it. But don't whine to anybody a year or two down the road when there is anything about the industry that you dont' like, because you just helped make it that way. You'll get no sympathy from me. I've quit employers rather than work for someone who will stoop to such filthy, pathetic depths, to aid in the cancer of the industry.
Buy your job, you piss in my cherios. Don't ever speak to me in the field. You won't like the response, and then I'll turn my back and walk away. Earn your wings, don't buy them.
