-: Hi, my name is Everette Fortner,
I'm the Associate Vice President of
Career and Professional Development here at UVA,
which basically means I run the career center.
Yeah, I think it's important for when
students get into their first job
and think about where they wanna go in their career
and look at the senior managers in that company.
What is their background and what are their skills,
what are their degrees?
As I spent my first year in sales,
I realized that senior sales management
and certainly senior marketing had MBAs,
they knew what a P&L statement was,
and particularly for me they knew what marketing was
and how to do a breakeven analysis
and all of the quantitative skills
that you learn in business school.
