> Work with honest, intelligent people

That's such good advice.

On the same note, it's so discouraging when someone who is not/neither takes over, those people leave (one way or another), and you have to start the search again.

Or when someone is intelligent enough you don't figure out they're not honest until it's too late. <shiver>

Anyone who's been around the block a time or two will accumulate those experiences. I hope I've not been jaded by mine.

> Work is with honest, intelligent people

Yes.
