Cheap Laptops
Man, my laptop broke, and I called a buddy of mine who know everything about computers, I had not spoken to him in a while. I went over to his apartment and he helped me fix my cheap laptop. We got into talking about his experiences graduating from school and entering the real world.
Wow, I had a great meeting with an old friend of mine; he graduated from Baylor University and was first in his class. He is now a VP at a fortune 500 company and doing really well for himself. He spent countless hours working in his education so he could start at the top. He now has his MBA and it making some serious coin.
He had some great stories to tell about business today and how the business landscape is changing rapidly. People are now entering the workforce today with staggering educations; they have everything from elaborate executive education degrees to multiple major MBA s. He wanted to make me aware of the stiff competition in the business world today. His advice was to stay in school and make sure you’re prepared to compete with these highly recruited graduates. He recommended getting leadership training, management training and eCommerce training in addition to the education I am getting at school now.
He was also clear that corporate management is quite finicky now, and with the new cheap laptops style of doing business, means that one day your management team around you is all on the same page as you and the next day half of the management team is gone and your now surrounded by a team of people who do not agree with your thoughts and idea’s and are now against you.
It is fascinating how business has become as much like politics as anything else. The world is changing and the bureaucracy has spread to business throughout the world. .
