      I once looked through a textbook from my friend’s MBA course. The first thing I noticed was in a highlighted box in the chapter on business negotiating: “Your skill at negotiating will affect the outcome of the negotiations.”

      These are the people that make 10X what I make.

        This is why I refuse to get an MBA. I already know my pants go on my legs. Thanks.

          Your skill at putting on your pants will affect the outcome of the pants-on-putting operation.

          I have an MBA and I can assure you, most are not young.

            Depends. It’s a business here and there are lots of young people with MBAs and not enough experience to contextualise the things learned within the masters. I mean, some are even doing it post grad.

            From my past experience with these types of people, I have a very low opinion on young people with MBAs. Business degree holders who want a shortcut to the top.

              My comment was mostly a self deprecating joke, denying the only neutral part of the statement. But you’re right, wide range of ages in any business program.

          You’ve probably had the experience of sharing the highways there with Germans cutting through your country to get to Austria and forgetting they were not on the Autobahn any more. I drove a rental car when I visited there years ago, and I’ve never had a more terrifying driving experience than looking in my rearview mirror and seeing empty road stretching back for miles, and two seconds later having a black BMW riding my ass and flashing its high beams at me.

        Are you sure that wasn’t the introduction to the Speech skill in Skyrim?

      I learned this in my first statics class, and I have a BS in business administration.
