Never turn down a job because you think it's too small; you don't know where it can lead.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I still take way more jobs than I turn down, and the reason that I turn down a job is that I just can't find anything in it that charges me or excites me or challenges me about moving to the next phase of where I'm headed.
When I turn down work, I feel guilty, I feel terrible; I don't know where the next job is going to come from.
I think it's still hard for me to turn down work if it's really good because for so many years I was so desperate to get a job and couldn't and so it's kind of an anathema for me to turn down work.
Never fear a job, always respect it, and always leave yourself a hind door to escape. May your hind door always be open.

If you don't like or care about your job, what's the big deal?
Never hire someone who knows less than you do about what he's hired to do.
