People seem to settle down with the type of people they run around with … both in careers and in marriage.

So don't work for very long in a career that you don't want to spend your life in.

Exception:

It is "OK" to work in a career you won't do "always"

if it will teach you something very useful.

But if you don't want to spend your life married to a blue collar worker

and get out of Life that which blue collar workers get from Life,

DON'T RUN AROUND WITH THEM IN THEIR RUT!

And if you don't want to go through the Emotional Pain

of withdrawing from a relationship in a Rut

that will take you where you don't want to go …

Then DON'T WASTE TIME
and go out with them EVEN ONCE

because you may fall in love with a perfectly lovely person who's merely in the Wrong Type Rut …

and it's very unlikely you'll get that person out of that Rut.

RULE : ONLY operate in a Rut you find "OK" to spend perhaps the Rest of your Life in.
