Spring break is here at last! It's been one of those quarters that never seemed like it would end and yet flew by at the same time. It's hard to believe we only have one quarter to go.
I have been consumed by the job search process the last few weeks. I've talked to more people in the span of three weeks than I can remember talking to all quarter. Stay tuned. According to the Career Center, about 52% of our class historically has a job at this point, the message being, if you don't have a job, not to worry.
My own challenge has been a multitude of options; in a world of many options it is very hard to choose especially when there is no one right answer. I think business school has caused me to become more risk-averse and analytical about options than I was before.
I took three classes this quarter: Mark Leslie's Sales Management class, a class on Sports Management, and Paths To Power. Most people I know make jokes about the Paths To Power title but there were actually two very interesting exercises we did in that class. The first was to do a 1 minute speech. It's harder than you might think to come up with somehing that will make good use of 1 minute! The second was to write my own obituary. Might seem gruesome but again it's a very interesting exercise to help you figure out what you ultimately want to look back on. Highly recommended.
Next quarter: Real Estate investment, Leadership in the Entertainment Industry, and an OB (organizational behavior) class. These are all outside my typical scope of interest which is what will make them interesting.
