Things From Birth That Will Determine Your Life

Being born is one of the most obviously important events of anybody's life. Before that, you were just a big stomach ache for your mom, but now, you're all grown up and capable of basic reading, writing, mathematics, and reasoning. Congrats. You're a man/woman of decisions now. But the thing is, some of your paths in life were already pre-determined since birth.

If they didn't, employers would be walking around handing jobs out like pancakes. Going to a job interview, and handing in your resume isn't the end of the employment process. Sadly, they need to actually check if you really got four doctorate degrees at the age of sixteen. It's pretty difficult to bluff your way into working for NASA with a fake resume and a clean shirt.

"What do you mean I couldn't have won eighty Noble Prizes? I want this janitorial position!"

The truth is, companies run background checks, not just criminal history. They want to know if you're competent of basic work, and if you're sane. They don't want someone that wanders around drooling everywhere as they smash their keyboard with their own head during the lunch break. If you feel that I'm talking about you, I am.
