Tip for grads: People sometimes quit jobs over "philosophical differences;" it sure beats admitting "I quit so they wouldn't fire me." But it's not always a euphemism. At one job, I was a Nietschean and my boss a Kierkegaardian. We argued over whether I was, as he believed, an incompetent fool or, as I believed, it was pointless to assess my work since life is without purpose or meaning. We compromised: He agreed I was without purpose, so I quit.
