Remember - now the world is changing.
They need people from different fields.
MBA schools are now heavily recruiting sportsmen for business schools;
where they know NOTHING about business,
and their managers manage their money.
V:
Really?
You mean in the US?
G:
Yeah, I read it in Businessweek.
You want to know why?
No. 1:
The world is becoming or has already turned into a flat-ceiling society where everyone get access to any information.
No. 2:
Who cares even if you don't have business knowledge?
No. 3:
They want sportsmen to be in their business school for their qualities - their determination, perseverance, and team work. In businesses, people work in teams and everything is about teamwork.
This article definitely enlightens me, even in the real world.
Companies recruit people from different fields to manage their companies.
For instance, Toyota is recruiting people who know NOTHING about cars to manage -
because they want a different perspective.
Many American companies are recruiting from Singapore too, and putting Singaporeans in their offices now.
I think this phenomenon is happening really quickly especially since the economy is in such a mess now.
People are eagerly looking for ways to increase their profit and the only way is to step away from convention and tradition.
That's what I think.
I don't know why I suddenly became so philosophical.
Hope this gives you hope.

It does, dear.
Thank you.
