Almost everyone I know got their job because they knew someone. You know how all growing up adults always said, "You work hard in school now and you'll be the one laughing. The kids goofing off are the ones that will be pumping your gas down the line." That's not true at all. The kids goofing off made a bunch of friends and have great jobs now because networking is the way 70% of people get their jobs (at least when I got that statistic 4 years ago)

It doesn't bug me when someone gets a job through their parents or whatever, but it does bug me when someone I know is an actual dumbass and not qualified to do much, yet has a really good job through their contacts, and even worse is when they screw it up and then find another good job somewhere else because they have a bunch of friends willing to help them out so they take it all for granted.
