Career Suicide

If you're between 13 and 30, listen up! Don't commit career suicide on your MySpace account! My cousin recently invited me to join, and before doing so I decided to check out some profiles... So I went browsing random profiles. Listed in no particular order, here are some of the topics I found being discussed on many of the sites I visited: I think I'm Bisexual. OMG this guy is sooooo hott!. I just had sex with [insert name here]. Here are pictures of me in my bra and underwear. Look at these photos of me hitting the bong. Is this how you want to be remembered in the future? Take a lesson from somebody who knows, once you put something on the internet it never really goes away..even if you delete it. There's always a copy out there somewhere. Do you think your future employers won't stumble across your myspace account and see pictures of you making out with your best friend, or with some guy's name written across your stomach? What would you think if your boss read your myspace account? The best advice I can give is this: If you're not comfortable putting it on the front page of the newspaper, with your name address and picture, you probably shouldn't put it in your myspace, facebook, livejournal, or anywhere else. I guess we get to look forward to a future where we actually hear things like "Don't vote for Britney for congress, she has Jack Abramoff listed in her myspace friends." By the way.. I won't be joining yet.
