    Career Advice: A Camel Looks Like A Horse Designed By A Committee
    Committees are one of the favored whipping boys of management gurus and comedians alike.The late comic Milton Berle said, "A committee is a group of men who keep minutes and waste hours."One bon mot holds that "A committee is a group of the unfit, appointed by the unwilling, to do the unnecessary."It has been suggested, only partly in jest,
    Changing from a career as a college student to the dreaded career in “the real world” leaves many students in somewhat of a culture shock. Many college students have an internship or two under their belt by the time they get to college and I highly recommend that to ease the transition.

    Here are some things that you can realize or change as a college student that will help you in moving to a 9 to 5:

    1. Change doesn’t come easy

      Most college students come out thinking they will fix everything in a company. Keep this attitude but be realistic. Even if the way something is done now is inefficient, change is a big deal. People don’t like to change because they have to re-learn or break a habit. There is also usually a bigger picture than you don’t yet know. Just because it should change doesn’t mean it will.

    2. Connections often trump performance

      You will experience this especially in your job search. The easiest way to get a job is not submitting your resume online, but through someone on the inside. You are also going to see this in your superiors and co-workers. Your superior may not be as qualified or knowledgeable, but they know more people than you.

      How to Find Your Perfect Career
      It's the question you dreamed about when you were ten years old. It's the question your parents nagged you about during high school. It's the question that stresses most of us out more and more the older we get. "What do you want to be when you grow up?"After living on a college campus for three semesters now, I'm realizing that most people have some rea

        Cruise Jobs-Combining Work and Pleasure
        There was a time when the US armed forces had an ad campaign telling us that you can see the world by joining the armed forces. But now there is a much safer alternative, see the world by getting a job on a cruise ship.On a cruise ship there are hundreds of possible jobs, but remember a cruise job will require more dedication from you than a regular 9 to

        Corporation HQ in Ohio
        Ohio has 28 of the fortune 500 HQs there. Many corporations have picked Ohio for its regulatory policies in the past and Corporations have been willing to hang their hat there; some come and some go, but in this decade is the first time they have a net loss of Corporate HQs in Ohio. Some was due to the Tech Bubble where many companies dropped off. Yet the fortu

      5. Be a nerd, but with social skills

        Nerds are not hugely successful, nerds with social skills are successful. Unless you invent time travel, how well you can talk to a computer doesn’t matter if you can’t also talk to superiors, co-workers, investors and customers.

      6. Keep it simple

        Many students try to impress with essay emails or big words. Emails should reflect the way you would explain in person. Long emails get ignored or skimmed, so keep them short and/or bulleted. Don’t make me get a dictionary or read a novel.

      7. Be casual, yet professional

        You will not talk work all the time. Share stories to build relationships, but learn what to talk about with different people. You won’t share the same stories or detail with superiors as you do peers. Even with peers it is possible to go to far.

      8. Use your first job experience
