[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1088873, member: 12508"] [b]Re: Buyout Q&A, Jan.22nd Update[/b] vantexan is right in that a college degree shows you have discipline, an ability to finish what you start, and probably a wider, more-informed view of the world as a result. It is absolutely not a pre-requisite for "success", which is defined many ways by many different people. I have a degree, and it has helped me be a better communicator and to pretty much always be "in the loop" in conversation with most people. I can also write a coherent memo that is spelled correctly and actually communicates the idea I intended, which cannot be said for many managers. I have seen memos and letters written by management that look like a 7th grader composed them. Bad spelling, poor grammar, and wandering paragraphs that lead to nowhere. Couriers actually have some pretty great ideas. The problem is that they are ignored 99% of the time at this company, and if one of their ideas is actually used, someone in management gets the credit. It's interesting that you speak of a "broader look", when Memphis has such a myopic focus on management ideas and pure profit. Funny how you've just re-appeared. Again. [/QUOTE]
