Odds of Hanging On
Here's a little secret: In the work world, you don't want to just "hang on." You gotta get your gumption up and crawl forward on that rope hanging above the pit of robo-snakes to get to the nice safe platform of financial security. But that's the worst case scenario, and there are always other jobs. If you get in young, keep a cool head, and turn some good profits, you'll be just fine.
