One of my favorite courses at Vandy, along with Business Law and History of Art.

The Bus Admin Degree (Finance, Accounting, Economics, Marketing, etc.) was to prepare for my day job so I could afford the more important things in life!

I also hold the equivalence of a major in Chemistry, the knowledge of which I seldom employ, although it helps somewhat to understand sub-atomic particle personalities, and it instilled in me the appreciation of the intrinsic value of gold, platinum and silver, especially when accompanied by the proper hallmarks and mint/privy marks, and the "appreciation" they offer in return.

The MBA at CWRU was mostly icing on the cake ... a "no-brainer" ... my employer picked up the entire tab ... why not? Probably helped make the difference between Senior Director and VP/CIO while I was in the corporate world.

I exited the corporate scene in '93 after seeing how Human Resources was ruining the landscape for everyone. A very low-self-opinion occupation which derives schadenfreude from pissing in everyone else's Chateau Haute Brion.

Total freedom in my own business ever since, ironically serving as a consultant and software provider to Fortune 500/1000 corporations. The Business Law really helped.

I still think ol' René had it backwards. He should'a said: "Sum, ergo cogito.". The foregoing notwithstanding, he was a giant among noble minds.

And James was a bit off course in his treatise on the man, squirrel and tree. An astronomer would have cut it short and said the man and squirrel were going around a common center.

Here's a nice compendium to add to your collection:
