Like the simplicity here. Although, "if you need money, then drop everything and take a job in a stable company", might do long term damages.
For two reasons:
1. "Do you need money" is a trick question. Most will answer yes, especially at a younger age when peer pressure rules roost.
2. Getting into a company like Accenture and staying there for 3 years might limit career options for many people when their short term money problem is solved (which I doubt given the lower salaries these big companies pay)
1. You are right: I guess I should clarify that "Do you *need* money now" is not the same as "Do you *want* money now". That option is intended for people whose family has financial hardships that would be alleviated by immediate income.
2. I don't agree that anything really limits career options. As long as you're willing to take some chances it is always possible to transition away from a bad early career decision. Maybe one of the future posts can be about techniques to do that effectively.
3. I am thinking primarily about students for whom even the low-end starting salary at services companies represents a huge jump in family income.
