ATTENTION: College Students Trying to Give Advice to people 5-10 years older them

Burner Account Just wanted to rant about how only on WSO do you have 18 year old college freshman trying to give advice to people 5-10+ years older than them seeking legitimate advice on these forums. Absolutely ridiculous, if you are clearly unqualified (you know who you are) keep your mouth shut, no one wants to hear your input based off what you read off forums or what you heard your uncle in PWM say about IB around the thanksgiving dinner table. Rather, read, and take it in and give inputs when you are actually qualified and have a couple years of real work experience under your belt. No one gives a **** where you go to school whether it be HYPS or Bunker Hill Community College, if you have no basis to back up your argument lease refrain from offering advice. End Rant
