>> So I think that, one of the things
that people always think is, you know,
I need to be able to, you know,
figure out exactly what I want to do
and take those classes to prepare me.
But there's a statistic out there that, you
know, in reality, you maybe apply 15 percent
of what you ever learn in school.
So it's not necessarily about the
content of the classes that you take;
it's about what it pushes you to do.
So I always encourage people to take
analytical classes, because as any job is going
to require someone to be able to be an
analytical thinker, especially with a job
like mine, you're dealing with very ambiguous,
as well as very complicated
problems, with multiple dynamics.
And so being able to break those
down into pieces is very important.
So I would say, you know, taking a
math class, taking a science class.
I think creative classes are really great, too.
I took piano performance when I was an
undergrad, and it was one of those classes
where it just kind of let me be free, right?
But also, kind of stimulated a different part
of my brain that I think is really important to,
you know, be able to think out of the box.
And that's a very underutilized skill set that
I think is very much valued in consulting.
