Wow! Great thread! I'm still a 30-something, and firmly believe everything that on the original list as well as the subsequent ones. All good ideas/advice.

Funny thing is, I was just in the midst of some 20-somethings this past week who were complaining how unfair it was that they had to work 10 hour days. (we were in an overtime week, very rare.) I told them to tell the floor manager to let me work in their place if they were so short-sighted to not want to make time and a half. A couple got miffed at me, a couple didn't know/understand about "overtime", and a couple honestly didn't even care. The ones that got miffed at least understood the concept of working, helped me narrow it down some.

Rule #17....Be friendly to everyone. At some point in life, a good relationship with someone else will be essential to you getting what you need.
