Continue in your egotistical bliss... but please don't continue to claim to be an authority on the "real world" job market conditions.You're confusing optimism with egotism. There is a difference. Learn it.

You're confusing optimism with egotism. There is a difference. Learn it.

Here is your original "egotistical" comments:

It all comes down to work ethic, skill and self-initiative in the end. If you have what the market is buying, you'll be selling. If you want to be a "victim", then it's a choice you made -- not a role someone made you take.
