    Yeah, but a lot of us don’t want to be extroverted entrepreneurs like you apparently are, but we’re forced to do that shit against our will anyway.

    It’s not that we don’t think it’s effective; it’s that it’s extremely uncomfortable and we hate doing it.

      Lot of us don’t have to be businesmen. We can just get hired and delegate the networking to our bosses.

      I don’t understand who is forcing people to network against their will. Do you mean that they feel they have to in order to grow their business?

        You have to network to get a job – even just as a wage slave, not a boss or a business owner – so you don’t starve.
