I read an enlightening article yesterday in the New York Times about the Obama 20-somethings. It was more or less about the everyday lives of some of the President's top aids, and how they handle the pressures of working in the White House, and balance those pressures with some shred of a personal life.
For me, the article was cool because it brought some of these ultra-high-powered individuals down to earth and showed that they are, for the most part, real people. More than anything, it kind of made me reflect on my life and the people I associate with. I definitely enjoy the college life and enjoy my friends, but most of them aren't exactly "type-A" personalities. The article depicted a dynamic environment in which a congregation of highly motivated and intelligent individuals work together tirelessly to achieve a greater end. At some point, I want to be in such an environment, and I want to know such people. Hopefully that doesn't mean I have to go into politics... I think a career in finance should suffice. Any employers out there?! Read me! Hire me! Please lord! I'm begging to come in and work really hard! I just want to put my knowledge to good use!
Wow, that looks a bit desperate, nobody reads this... Maybe I'll start linking things I post about economics to my facebook page for all of my non-interested friends to read... Ha ha.
