1. The best thing you can do is keep a poker face. Focus on the job itself, not the other people in the office.
2. Productivity is what counts. Don't worry about what others think about you at work. You will work with plenty of people who just will not like you. You are there to get a job done, not to make friends.
3. Nobody at work will have your back and none of them really care about you. Your family loves you and cares about your well being, not anyone at work.
4. The salary is everything. The more you make, the more you can invest for retirement, and the sooner you can stop working.
5. Job satisfaction is hard to find, and an uncomfortable truth is that most people really don't like their jobs. Dream jobs don't really exist. That is why they are called dreams.
6. You don't have any friends at work. The people who call you a friend at work are the ones you really have to watch out for. They will stab you in the back first.
7. Everyone at work lies and keeps secrets. The workplace is very fake. People put on a false image everyday just to keep their jobs. You don't and never will really know your coworkers.
4. The salary is everything. The more you make, the more you can invest for retirement, and the sooner you can stop working.

Rule number one: working for someone else generally stinks,and rarely if ever will you make the kind of life you want for yourself while working for others.
Rule number two: it is YOUR responsibility to educate yourself, whether school or OJT, so you can better your life by saving and investing as much as possible. This will greatly reduce the impact of number one.
Major in what I'm doing now. I was so lost in what career direction to go. Some people knew, I didn't. I was so depressed. I'm almost 40 and if I could do it again, I wish I took the path to get to where I am now so I had a focus and direction.
