"The abilities, the intelligence, the promise of these young men will be squandered in their attempt to eke out a living doing the simplest, most mindless chores for the white man."
-Nelson Madela , Long Walk to Freedom, my copy page 33
This is exactly how I felt working for my last supervisor. Oh snap! Good riddance my friend. ha.
But will I prosper now that he is gone? We make jokes at work all about how the partners are afraid of Office 2007. We make jokes about "partner math" which is simple, slap dash math that latches on to the biggest roundest numbers on a page and yields nothing but broad estimations. Haha! so funny... Does this mean we get more stupid, dated and timid as we move up in this firm?
The more time I spend away from school the more I feel my intelligence is squandered. How do I stem this flow?
BTW I started reading Mandela's book. It was gifted to me two summers ago. It is quintissentially inspirational. Expect more quotes.
