There are some who feel that advanced degrees earned at ivy covered institutions are the cause of all the world’s prescient financial problems. I am not in that camp.

Sarah was recently accepted to one of our nations highest regarded and most competitive business schools as a Masters student. Sazbean will continue to be her day job, her hobby, her profession and her pride. She just now has to find a spare 50 hours a week for classes with professors who have literally written the book on modern business.

Older patrons smiled up at me from their papers while the younger crowd rolled their eyes dramatically between texting sessions on their Treo’s and jam sessions on their MP3 players.
