Ask and ye shall receive Well, Mr. Boss Man, what QUALIFICATIONS are necessary to meet your personal scale of approval? Beyond, not being a free thinker... Nope, I have NO clue on what's going on in the world I just rack up these meaningless degrees from "liberal colleges" (As all higher institutions without 'Saint' or 'Holy' or 'Brigham Young' are left wing propaganda machines) because my judgment has been clouded my entire life. I'm ALL book learning and theory with no "real world" experience. I understand. You're better than me at life because you're a 'real world' business owner. I think you have an ego issue resting your laurels on that - like you deserve more respect than the next guy because you OWN a business. Obviously, that went over your head. Interesting, maybe not in your little business, but in the 'real world' it means a lot. You don't seem to have any experience beyond direct sales if you think that's the only thing that affects the bottom line. Maybe you need some experience working in a larger organization where you have to coordinate activities across multiple departments (Sales, Supply Base, Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, Logistics - just to name a few major ones) - it seems your 'real world' experience is very narrowly focused, I hope you never end up 'out of your element' because if all you know is your little narrow piece of the pie, your 20yrs is useless. Focus on results and empower your employees. Wow, how prophetic, it took you 20 yrs to figure that out on how to run a "successful" business? I'm WAY ahead of the game then. You're switching topics. First it was about me personally - about how you're smarter than ME, and MY experience doesn't mean crap in the 'real world' - But, now it's about people with similar 'experience' than me. I don't think I've ever worked with an Akron U engineer, but all engineers from college aren't created equal. So, is this about me personally, or "similar" people? I don't think you'd have the resources to acquire an engineer of the caliber of some that I've met. No, at this point, this is entertainment for me and a break from the other stuff I've got to do.
