It bothered the heck out of me because 1) I don't think the purpose of life is to be a good little worker bee and 2) It wasn't really accurate. Employers are wanting unique skills that aren't covered with college degrees, such as particular certifications and soft skills like leadership, critical thinking, communication, etc. Is career preparedness/ more book learning something you'd focus on with your own children? Why or why not? less

Where did she go and why? Is she gone for good or will she get back to the "nice" person she seemed to be even if it was a fake. I prefer the fake her to the real her. The fake her is shrill/screechy and hard to take.

If you've seen the tape it is obvious the man running away was no immediate threat to the cop. So what kind of mind conscience, good or otherwise, sees something different on that tape than everyone else does?
