This is true of all professions… a well stated truism that is only taught early by the “teacher’s pet” experience.

Some learn this lesson well and are astute at “playing the game,” riding to the top of their fields.

Others see this and take an anti-authoritarian stance, which inevitably means they live out their lives limbo, moving from job to job or no job at all.

Lastly, there are those that see this and know they they are totally unskilled at the politics, become fearful, and live out their lives in quite desperation.
