| My Introduction to the Allentown Business School |
|
|
I arrived in Allentown, PA yesterday at about three in the afternoon.
It wasn't too bad of a trip from New York where my journey began. It
took a while to get there but the drive was lovely. The scenery was
absolutely beautiful.
I was arriving at the Allentown
business school with my buddy Bill, just in time to settle in and have
a good weekend to explore the area before classes begun. I would have
liked to get into Allentown a little bit earlier in the month.
It would've been nice to have some time to explore the business MBA school before starting, and to get to know the general area of Allentown, Pennsylvania little bit better. But I was traveling with Bill, and Bill never does anything the easy way. Sometimes he can drive me nuts.
It was a bit of a struggle for me to get into the Allentown business school. I know it's not exactly a renowned international school of business and finance, but it is an excellent school. And by the way, I don't mean an academic struggle. That particular college school wasn't that tough, and I had good grades and good work experience.
What I mean is an internal kind of the struggle. I had always wanted to make it in the world of business, but I did not think that I needed a business education to do so. My dad was a graduate of the Allentown business school, and he tried to get me to go there for years.
I had resisted his every effort, however. I was more interested in school strategic business plan and gaining direct sales experience more than getting an education in business.
I'd met Allentown business school graduates before, and though they seemed to have a good abstract grasp of things like economics and management, they did not seem to be the kind of practical people who really succeed in business. Honestly, I thought going to school in business was just a waste of my time.
I finally was convinced to go to Allentown business school after spending a few years doing sales. I completed a business case school study which helped me make an informed decision. In a sales job they promise you that you can advance quickly even without a college education, but all that is a lie.
I was a great salesman. I was one of the best salesman on my whole team, yet I was getting nowhere. You can only be good at sales for so long. After a while it will catch up with you and you will lose your knack for it.
That is why I went to the Allentown business school finally. I knew that I needed to have the opportunity to do other things in business besides sales. The Allentown business school would give me that opportunity.
