You may not understand the concept of "fool," well as you think, or honor, but I can say with certainty that none of the employers was left hanging, and I have recommendations from all. Whether you choose to take counsel or not means nothing to me. If you're willing to walk away from a commitment, you mean nothing to me.

At the end of the day, perhaps you'll sell out for a few more bucks, and that will be the price of your integrity.

Each of my offers was sealed with a handshake. My word is my bond. Is yours?

Given your attitude, how have you ever had more than one job? According to you, once you accept an offer you cannot leave as it is dishonorable.

Good god, your reading comprehension is poor. How have you made it through a ground school anywhere, when you understand so little?

Leaving a job is not dishonorable. Accepting a commitment and failing to honor one's commitment is dishonorable.

This is where you want to take the conversation now?
