School of ThoughtNo matter what you studied, your education can help guide you.

Did you know what you wanted to be when you were 21? Were youone of those "born to be an entrepreneur" types? I knew Iwanted to be a journalist--that's why I attended the renownedMissouri School of Journalism at the University of Missouri,Columbia--but I sure didn't set out to be the editor of abusiness magazine.

I was reminded of this last night when I attended my first-everMizzou alumni function (yes, it took me 31 years after graduatingto show up at one of those events). In addition to the alumni,about a dozen students from the university were there, all membersof the advertising club. As they introduced themselves, most ofthem told us what they wanted to do/be after graduation. I'msure many of them won't fulfill their current dreams.
