Or: Don’t Ask for Orange Juice if You Want Grape Juice by janepollak http://keppiecareers.wordpress.com/2008/10/30/ask-for-what-you-want-at-work-or-dont-ask-for-orange-juice-if-you-want-grape-juice/#comment-999 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 13:56:06 +0000 http://keppiecareers.wordpress.com/?p=729#comment-999 Loved this, Miriam! I’ll never forget when our then 4 year old Laura insisted on ordering just tomatoes at the diner. When the plate full of sliced pinkish gray diner tomatoes arrived the expression on Laura’s face was priceless. We’re not sure what she’d had in mind, but it was clearly not tomatoes!

I think it was more a language barrier than a decision-making issue. As adults, we know better. Your advice is great.

]]> Comment on Thinking About an MBA? You May Want to Think Twice and Listen Hard in Kindergarten by Dawn Papandrea http://keppiecareers.wordpress.com/2008/11/06/thinking-about-an-mba-you-may-want-to-think-twice-and-listen-hard-in-kindergarten/#comment-983 Thu, 06 Nov 2008 17:51:11 +0000 http://keppiecareers.wordpress.com/?p=1037#comment-983 Coming from the school of thought that higher or continuing education is always a good thing, I do still think each individual considering a high priced degree like the MBA, should assess if/how it will help their career. Some employers may give a bump up in raise or hold promotions until you achieve the degree. In other cases, an employer may even pay for you to get the degree — a no-brainer that it’s worth going for. But based on your post and what I’ve been hearing, an MBA is only part of the equation — career advancement will ultimately come down to one’s work ethic and on-the-job skills, not just a piece of paper.

Loved your piece, you inspired me to write one a new post about Mr. Russert and his white board:

Thanks for reading and commenting…For me, the whole election cycle just wasn’t the same without Tim Russert. He certainly made an impact on those who knew him and those who just “knew” him from TV.

His insight and perspective are missed, especially on Election Day.

Very nice piece – We should all aspire to be connectors and help to make this world a better place.
