It's actually a great thing to put on a resume, regardless of the job being applied for.

Maybe for your first job -> after that i would hope you drop it off. I think i'd laugh if i came across a resume like that when looking over applicants that had experience. That's like putting high school letter winner on your resume or senior class president. If you have to fluff your resume that much then i don't think you belong :)

I was an airborne russian linguist in the USAF back in the 1980s... Nothing I am more proud of and nothing that stands out quite like that on a resume regardless of the job. That resume item has gotten me more interviews and NONE of the jobs were for russian intelligence operators.

Sure, the timing's inconvenient, but not one of us is in any position to make a judgment about whether the kid should have stayed or left.

I was mostly trying to explain that the "if you start something, finish it" mentality isn't rational.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that point. That's not how I was raised...and it's not how I raised my kids...
 
He was in the program 4 years. He should have had a pretty good idea by this past summer of what year 5 was going to look like.

Attitude is within your own control. If you find yourself in a situation where your "heart's not into it," you might need to make a conscious decision to get your heart back into it.

that's horrible.

How is that horrible? ISU is paying his way through school with the intention of him contributing to the football team. He up and quit. Why should ISU continue to pay for him to attend school?

I generally agree with the idea, but there are plenty of times that I've applied it, and I always end up as the one paying for it. Sometimes, leaving is far and away the best option.

Yeah, I think there are so many people that don't have this mentality today, you have to look at how you're being treated. If the person you're honoring your commitment to has no morals, they just think they're taking advantage of you.

I had a job in college, put in my 2 weeks notice to start a Co-op job in my degree program. I was hired by the owner, who later hired a manager to take care of the business (who incidentally was the type to hang his former athletic participation over your head despite the fact that as a 40 something guy was essentially a McDonald's manager). Manager got ****ed because he was asking me everything to cover the fact that he didn't know what he was doing, so he started riding me publicly over the communication system. One day when the owner was able to listen, and the manager was being especially jerky, I walked out mid shift, probably about a week before my 2 weeks was up.

I called the owner later on that night and apologized for walking out, told him that that's not my character, but I was not going to stand for being treated like that, and if that's what the next week was going to be like, despite the fact that I needed the money, it wasn't worth it. Owner said not to worry, he agreed that the treatment was out of bounds and that he held no ill feelings. He later re-hired me after the manager was gone (not sure if he left or was canned, it happened while I was off on my Co-op).

Cotlar is cranking up Neil Diamond in the studio scarfing down Montana Mikes while flipping through his rolodex trying to come up with made up stories for "what's your beef Wednesday"
 
Living by some hard and fast rule that you never quit what you start seems like a poor idea.
 
Rhoads needs to start playing this for the team...
