Yes, people with liberal arts degrees are totally screwed.

"Your friends will be your network. The only reason you are reading this article is because Sarah Lacy has a lot of friends who are very high quality, and they not only supported her PandoDaily ambition, but also put money into it. And even though she is nobody, she does have quality friends."
no thanks, but this does help support my belief that the most talented and intelligent human beings are currently trapped doing shit work and menial labor because they didn't go to NYU film school with a future big time hollywood producer or whatever (insert your own example here). I'd rather sit back and watch society crumble than go make nice with an army of backstabbers and cutthroat fake friends.

I had to do it. You'll have to do it. GTF over it.
