Comment on Career Advice: What To Do When Your Boss Wants to Be Facebook Friends by Eric Woodard

Thanks for the post Donna!nnI used to worry about this, and I know a lot of other folks do too. But I’m to the point now where I think the future is here, the standards are shifting.nnIs it weird for a boss to friend a subordinate? Ya, a little. But privacy is overrated. I think if somebody friends you, and you know them, and you like them, friend them back. If they want to know about you, then open the virtual kimono.nn2nd…I think it’s a bad idea for people to sanitize their online profiles. Be who you are. Be authentic. Heck, if a boss friends you, they’re asking to see your warts and all. Let them see. Nobody is perfect, the stuff we all think is sellacious about ourselves isn’t nearly so bad as we think it is, anyway. Besides, that tends to be the most interesting stuff about us anyway.nnI know it’s an unorthodox point of view, but there it is. Thanks again for the post!nnDisclaimer: If a boss friending you online evolves into inappropriate behavior (either in person or online) of course, that’s a different story. That’s a different problem.

As always, great post Noel. Here are two more..nnYou Need a Place to Take RefugenNot a great reason, but it’s a reason. You’ve been out of school, can’t find a job. You’re not making progress. Might as well check the graduate school box.nnYou CannYou’re young, no kids, not married, not a lot of responsibilities yet. Get the grad degree now, because when you do have a mortgage and car payments and day care costs and a spouse to work with – it’ll be harder.

Yep. While it can feel like just checking another box on the long list, I’ve definitely seen opportunities open since receiving my Masters that would’ve not come my way otherwise.u00a0nnIt’s definitely worth the money if you’re strategic in how this degree fits into your long-term goals.u00a0

If you want to become a registered dietitian, you will need to complete a program accredited by the American Dietetic Association. Since you are getting your bachelor’s degree in another subject, you may have your transcript evaluated by an advisor, and depending on what you took, you may only need to do some additional coursework to get started.
