If You’re So Damn Smart, Why Aren’t You Rich?
Let's see now...<p>You took bad advice from the wrong person.<p>You dumbed yourself down.<p>You played the role of some other person, not yourself.<p>You played someone else's game without expressing what you were really thinking.<p>You settled for an inappropriate job.<p>You're bored to death and wasting time in a dead end job for 6 months now.<p>And you call that "Damn Smart"?<p>[EDIT:  The only smart thing you did (following up with a nice Thank You note) is the only thing that got you the job.  Please don't attribute your "success" to anything else.]
