That’s awesome and I’m proud. I’m just over people with a holier than thou attitude with it acting as if it’s just easy to do what you do, for example. I think acting as if it’s an easy thing is actually an insult to you, you feel?

Ha! I mean, a lot of us did do exactly that... but I wouldn’t really “lord it” over people. If I had to do it again, would I have gone to an expensive private school? Well, maybe.

How would you go to a state university and enlist in the military? You mean ROTC?

I know a lot of people that enlisted after college. In my unit I had a PhD that was machine gunner. A lot of our NCOs had degrees

Some people dont even know they have those options. All schools are not created equal, and all counselors don’t provide the best information. I don’t want to get into the socioeconomic factors that apply, but they are very relevant.

How did you get started?

I’m a new associate to a T&E group, partner goes away on vacation and leaves me with a 706 to review and sign. The family is very wealthy. Decedent married for 60 years. Partner says it’s “just a DSUE election, decedent was ill for years, no assets.” Provides no records. Not even an admission the decedent owned a toothbrush. So I looked up the decedent’s home - it’s a joint asset. Partner was “surprised”, and still insists “no other assets”. I found file references to art and antiques.

Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
