Beware Career Limiting Moves

Dying for a cause instead of living for it. Dropping out of school. Throwing the first punch. Getting busted for drugs. Maxing out credit cards. Posting something embarassing under your own name on the Internet. Drinking so much you don't remember what you did. Talking smack about the boss standing behind you. Surfing porn at work. Brandishing airsoft guns in public. Getting a Darwin Award. Logging in on Defcon's Wall of Sheep network. Disobeying the "We don't do bombs" policy. Jumping up and down Oprah's couch. Preaching against your own secret homosexuality and drug use.

All of these things are CLMs: Career Limiting Moves.

A lot of people get in trouble for doing stupid things and slam their doors shut before they know it. Keep your future promising and your options open.

Ask yourself before you leap: Is this a CLM?
