| From our latest survey, about 14% of our class is still hanging in there. This is a significant drop from a similar survey in 2003 when about one-third of our class was still with their original employer. Let's see what happens next year when the 7-year inch approaches... |
The Realities of Reality TV
For those brave enough to confess their love for reality TV, the most popular selection was The Apprentice. Should that really surprise us that a bunch of MBAs like watching Donald Trump put business people through the ringer for a job with him? If you missed it, this season's series pitted the Book Smarts (college grads) vs. Street Smarts (self-made entrepreneurs without a college degree). In the end, Book Smarts prevailed though the 2 finalists were from each camp. Notable hilarious mentions were "American Queer Eye for the Straight Guy Idol Surviving the Extreme Wife Swap and Spouse Trade Race" from RJ and "When Antique Roadshows Go Bad" from Rich Chen.
