Not All .COMs Were Full of Slackasses (Score 1)

Ya know, I get kind of upset when people bash .coms across the board. Sure, many of them had some VERY poor spending habits and had little to no chance of ever recouping significant revenues. And yes, I'm sure that many were populated by lazy, wanna-be geek employees who simply wanted to ride the gravy-train to .com Valhalla. But this did not represent the .com masses in totality.

I worked at two .coms out of college (NYC & Boston). To be perfectly blunt, I worked my butt off in a little over two years and gained a lot of valuable experience that school simply wouldn't have taught me. So did most of my coworkers. I had no pie-in-the-sky dreams of becoming a millionaire while masterbating Nerf-guns all day. I did not have a golf course in my office space, nor a Steinway, nor daily catered meals. We worked hard, we had our fun, and we had rather decent incomes for a while. It was a good experience for the most part and I am glad to say I at least TRIED it. But the day a potential employers disqualifies me because of my .com experiences, well, I'll be forced ram my fist through their nostrils and pull out their shriveled little MBA-powered brain from the skull.

End Rant.
