Best of Bullish: For the New Bullicorns, Recent Grads, Millennials

FOR NEWBULLICORNS

Welcome to GetBullish! This article is more than ten years old. It originally ran on a now-defunct website called The Gloss, where Bullish got its start, or its sister site The Grindstone. Everything here was written by humans, not AI (why would you want to read something no one could be bothered to write?) For more recent posts by Jen D., try the GetBullish Blog.

If you’re a Bullicorn who has just graduated college or is in the midst of some other beginning (starting a business, switching careers), you are in the right place. We’ve pulled together some of the best Bullish articles for you to use as you charge into the wide world with Bullishness heretofore unseen.

(You just try to procrastinate on a typewriter!) If you were supposed to sit in a chair and write something but you were actually watching television or baking brownies, you really had to face the fact that you were fucking around. You’re in a completely different part of the house!

 

Stop being late. Seriously. Stop it.

Does Work Life Balance Mean You Should Work More?

“Do you intend to retire some day? Would you like to have a baby and invest substantial time in caring for it? If there is some phase of your life during which you will be working 15 hours a week, then maybe you should work 60 now.”
