Let's get started

In Austria now for a 3 week MBA crash course. Finally got to see some of the backgrounds of the other attendees. This must be one of the most educated group of folks I've ever been in a room with. 35 people of which:
- 11 hold only a Masters
- 16 hold PhD/Doctorate (most of which of course have masters as well)
- 3 hold JD's or equivalent
- 2 hold MD's

Interestingly enough, most of the PhD's don't have real work experience, so I'm curious to see what happens during training. I always wondered what people did with a PhD. I guess those that don't want to go into academia or research go to consulting. :) Maybe Joe will end up being a consultant...

Everyone's very nice and socialable - typical first day behavior.

Time to learn some Excel tips & tricks.
