"What Type of Worker are you?"

What is Corporate America? That's easy. It entails being part of a collective group of individuals building towards a common goal. In Corporate America, the challenge is putting in as much as work as possible in an eight hour period to reach the almighty dollar, or billions in Donald Trump's case. Everything inside this exclusive universe (Wall Street, Manhattan, Las Vegas, Hollywood, etc.) is built for the purpose of making money and making sure that everyone is part of the status quo. If someone breaks away from the mold, they could either be a star or a chump, depending which way society's dial is turned for the moment.

Success is relative depending on the person's goal in life, or their occupation. If it's Donald Trump, his goal would be to gain as much exposure and money as possible doing both.

Professional accomplishment ultimately varies depending on which end of the financial spectrum a person is on. Money could be everything to aspiring millionaires, while for others it could be more of a hindrance than a sign of success. To take a closer look at what type of successful person you could be, it's best to narrow the focus to your workplace.

As a test, one day people should quietly observe their workplace environment just to see what other people are like. They would notice relatively quickly the type of personas that surround their cubicles. There are people who follow the crowd, and those who regularly go against the grain. Those types of people are broken into six distinct categories that go either way. Look through them and see which type fits you, and which ones don't. The choice is yours to see what type of workplace person you are, and you have to learn to accept that no matter what.

-Slacker- They are the ones who tend to do nothing at all. They make no effort because they despise doing the work. They want all the glory and none of the sweat that comes from hard work. These are the people that are minimum wage job vagabonds, because they can never settle down on one particular career path. They always move from one job to the next without thinking about their responsibilities. This habit tends to make them permanent fixtures at the back of the unemployment line.

-Overachiever- Beware of the person who works too hard. They take over numerous projects, sometimes one too many,
