In 1962, The Beatles recorded their version of the song “Money (That’s What I Want)” featuring the line, “Money don't get everything, it's true, but what it don't get I can't use.” Less than six months later they released their hit, “Can’t Buy Me Love” which included the refrain, “I don’t care too much for money, money can’t buy me love”. They were young and perhaps a bit confused. The point is, the Beatles may have made some questionable decisions early on, but they stuck with it and became wildly influential and insanely successful. The other point is, we’re hiring a SENIOR BUYER. Make a good decision now, become a SENIOR BUYER, stick with it and who knows where it may lead.
