A recent article in The Atlantic entitled “How to Land Your Kid in Therapy” asked this question: Could it be that by protecting our kids from unhappiness as children we’re depriving them of happiness as adults?” In fact, some college students today are so overprotected and fragile, they’re known by administrators on campuses across the country as “teacups.”

Sometimes this spills into the workplace when young, entitled employees think they don’t have to pay their dues and they want to start at the top. But as Queen Rania of Jordan once said, “If you’re too big for the small jobs, you’re too small for the big ones.”

And if you’re going on interviews, remember this: Nothing is a bigger turn off than a 22-year-old who asks how a job will affect his or her work/life balance.

In fact, one young woman was trying to land a position on my new syndicated show and she asked how the hours would impact her weekend. Weekends? Our answer was? Not at all…because you’re not getting the job.

And speaking of teacups, according to a very reliable source one student from Darden went on a job interview…and BROUGHT HIS MOTHER! Seriously. Is that you over there? Hi, I'm speaking the truth here, people. So, whatever you do...don't bring your mother to an interview...and DO NOT use her as a reference!

Don’t be a teacup…be a travel mug. Sturdy…and, ultimately, unbreakable. Go the extra mile. Volunteer for that extra assignment. As my mom told all 4 Couric kids. Let them know you are there. Thanks Mom! You may have to work late, work weekends, or as Mike Bloomberg did, show up early. When he was in business school, he worked at a real estate office renting apartments. He had more customers than the four full-time professional brokers, because he got there before they did, answered the phone, and got all their business. The last time I checked, Mike Bloomberg is doing pretty well for himself. So, very simply: there is no substitute for hard work and doing everything you can to get the job done.
