I graduated from a very prestigious private college with a humanities degree. When I was a student, my Dad suggested that I take a few business courses in college even though my major was in liberal arts. At the time, I thought I knew better and I scoffed at his suggestion.
20 years after graduation, my earnings are embarrassing low when compared with my classmates (but I have my health and a lovely family, so I have that going for me
). My parents were very disappointed that this didn't translate into a lucrative career.
In hindsight, I regret not taking a few introductory business courses just so I understand how capitalism works. I open the business page of my local newspaper and I am totally confused....the copy might as well be in ancient Sanskrit.
