I read this book and was laughing through it.
The way Stanley Bing wrote about the jobs and how to get them,
struck a chord. People going around earning big bucks through their
ability to bullshit are myriad. You yourself have probably met them
or even are one of them!
That is not detracting from a person, but rather, spoken with a
sense of admiration as it is not an easy task to become someone
with such a job.
A few jobs were listed as high on the bullsit levels.
Consultant
Economist
Feng Shui Consultant
McKinsey Hit Man
Motivational Speaker
Palm Reader/Psychic/Astrologer/Tarot Reader
Pet Psychic
Pop Tart
And I FULLY and UTTERLY agree with Bing.
He took a bunch of jobs, and reduced them to the bare essentials of
the job and showed it to be a bunch of bullshit that they
are.
A worthwhile read, especially if you are one of those who are
guillable enough to be taken in by the bullshit artists who prey on
people.
4 out of 5 - if this book is taken as seriously as it is funny,
bullshit artists beware!
