No where on the website does it mention not having a job or being unemployed.

Assuming it is true that who you know matters most, then why not use your smarts to figure out how to get to know the right people?

Yeah, the 'no excuses' part was more in the vein of "you have no excuses not to learn something."

the site said nothing about finding a good job. it only says you have no excuse not to learn something.

and being smart != being educated.
