[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you. On the flipside, one of my favorite stories comes from the late Randy Pausch. In his book the last lecture, he tells about taking a sabbatical from Carnegie Mellon to work as a Disney imagineer. On the first day, his team leader asked him "what can you do professor boy?' He said, I have a Ph.D in XYZ from XYZ, to which his team leader responded, I asked what you can do not what degree you have. Hence, "I learned the difference between business and academia," he said :) [/quote] I mean, come on. Could you be any more pompous? You actually think being FSO in your cone is business? You don't sound right for the job, PhD or not, you ought to be likable to sell anything.[/quote]
