		<description><![CDATA[Switching careers might mean a significant pay cut. It might mean going back to school. It might mean moving to a new area. It might mean returning to square one, where you are the underling and you know nothing. What I'm trying to say is, moving to a new career is a big jump and should be decided on only after thorough research and soul-searching.

		<description><![CDATA[Some of things in life are so hyped that they, when you finally experience them, are a big letdown ... [H]oliday bonuses ... will almost always fail to meet expectations. You work all year long for that proverbial carrot and, when you finally get it in your hands, the darned thing looks so... tiny. 

My advice to those disappointed throngs out there: don't depend on or think about your bonus. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["Quit." The word is usually synonymous with giving up, surrendering, or rolling over. In the workplace, however, quitting a job is a pivotal moment in your career progression. It can be done poorly (telling the boss, "You can't fire me. I QUIT!!!" and then storming out, sobbing like a child) and haunt your track record for the rest of your career. Or it can be done strategically and keep your resume strong and unblemished.

		<description><![CDATA[Have you felt trapped at work? Unappreciated? Underused? Can you not stand the smell of your boss' cheap Old Spice another day? Then join the thousands of U.S. workers that will tell their bosses adios this holiday season and move on to greener pastures ... In all fairness, of course, every job has its rough times. Every employee has something about their job that they dislike. Unfortunately, many hasty individuals have made the mistake of overreacting to the unpleasantries of their job and jumping ship early, only to find themselves drowning in a sea of unemployment and no-money-ness and wishing they had never left. Also, hasty ship-jumping can leave a nasty black mark on your resume. The lesson: quit strategically and only after careful analysis of the consequences.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By now, you've probably realized that getting a graduate degree is no small task. Perhaps, for this reason, those who stick with it and earn these degrees are given special deference. 

Getting a master's or doctorate degree is an accomplishment worthy of praise. It means that you have been exposed to and trained in a higher level of analysis and problem-solving than your bachelor-holding counterparts. Also, you have a higher level of expertise. Your professors, classmates, and materials were all of a higher caliber than those in the undergraduate programs. Many of your classmates may have real, bona fide job experience in your area of study. Let there be no doubt: you earn every square inch of that diploma.]]></description>
