In school... 

In the workplace... 

• Counselors and teachers are paid to help prepare you for success. 
  
• Decisions are around you and sometimes involve you.
  
• Everyone wants you to succeed and tries to help. 
  
• You are surrounded by people with common backgrounds, problems and interests
• If you do not work, you get disciplined but you are encouraged to do better.

• You are paid to do a job. You do it or you will not succeed.
  
• Decisions revolve around the company management and their     customers.
  
• Most co-workers do not care if you succeed. Some may not want you     to succeed.
  
• There may be no one with the same problems or interests as you.
  
• If you do not work or do you job poorly, you will get fired.
