I got a super-cool first job because my mother happened to be jabbering about me to a guy who thought it’d be neat to have an intern. Note that this wasn’t some rich-folks club cotillion, she was a part time dental hygienist making small talk during a cleaning.

Sounds like you're pretty lucky?
Oops - my first sentence go stripped on the post; I edited to add it back. Yes, luck is the most important quality.
