Given our uncanny addiction to receiving reactions from our readers (due to our insecurity, perhaps), this is something that we've long taken note of (and practice as much as we can).
These two career problems could have developed popularity online because they seem difficult to get out of. But truth be told, though different in context, there's actually only one way to get out of their brand of rut: persistent action.
