Fire Your Boss and Free Yourself
You don't have to fire rounds at your employer's office, but how great would it feel if you could? I'm not suggesting either that you immediately call up your boss and tell him/her to shove their job up their backside and into the seventh circle of Hell.

Best Careers for Introverts
Being introverted can make certain aspects of life more challenging than for people who enjoy being in front of crowds and strive in social scenarios.

Is Going Back to a Previous Workplace a Good Decision?
Returning to the same workplace after resigning can be bewildering as a lot of things go on in one's mind. The person might even be skeptical as he/she might think that going back to a previous workplace can raise unnecessary questions, and they may have to experience discrimination and mistreatment. However, the current trend points out that the employees are open to the idea of returning to their previous jobs. These employees are known as 'boomerang employees'. And according to a study by workplacetrends.com, about 40% of the interviewed companies said they have hired about half of their former employees who have reapplied.

Audition Is Just a Fancy Way of Saying Interview
So when I started taking classes at The Second City, it was a much smaller company than it is today. You had basically two choices of year-long programs that you could take. Either basic improv (they call it Level A-E) or advanced improv (the Conservatory). They had one student theater, and it wasn't just for students. They had maybe eight classrooms and maybe a total of 15 teachers. Today, they still have those two programs, but they also offer year-long programs in writing, musical improv, filmmaking, and acting. They also have classes in just about anything you can think of, from movement classes to making online content. Not to mention, you can now major in comedy as part of your degree through the Second City Comedy Studies program.

Today Over Tomorrow
Life is pain. That's a fact. I find that everyone tries to make it out like it's some rich dream setting you up to either fail or succeed, but the success rate is low.

Follow Your Dreams?
To be young and unaware... When I was 16-years-old, I was sitting at dinner with my family when my baby sister asked "Angie, what are you gonna be when you grow up?" Without thinking or heisitaing in the least, I claimed loud and proud "I am gonna be a Broadway dancer!" What came next would be the drum beat that would not stop in my head for the rest of my life.

Maximizing Your Potential
I can vividly recall this past Thanksgiving involving a fork full of cheesy macaroni, and an unsettling scene from the film: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In the beginning, we meet the young chocolate lover Charlie, and his father; a factory worker who caps toothpaste tubes. One day the company invests in a more efficient machine to cap the tubes, eliminating his job.
