What we in fact learn...

I have a high school diploma, a BS degree, a Master's degree, and one certificate from a prestigious university, working on a 2nd certificate.  This 2nd one is in Entrepreneurship, in joking last week as we left class I said, well the good news is that in 3 weeks I'll be an entrepreneur and have the certificate to prove it.  Which is silly. Just as silly as when we expect someone to leave college with a degree in business and call them a business man, or a degree in accounting and they're an accountant, or (perhaps your getting uncomfortable now) a law degree and they're a lawyer, a doctorate and they're a general practitioner... interesting how expectation changes but what's the reality?

The NYTimes had an interesting piece today about business schools -- http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/17/education/edlife/edl-17business-t.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&hp
