Today was Career Day at Medway High School, and I was one of many community members invited in to talk about our jobs and how we got to where we are. I had planned to take a photo of each group, but I forgot — and ran out of time — with every class but one. Thanks to the teacher who grabbed this shot with my phone.
I’m not sure how much value a Medway High and Mass Bay grad who quit two colleges in under a year right out of high school, helped put a few companies out of business (including my own and Kodak) before age 35, who openly preaches against corporate America, and complains about having a terrible boss — I work for myself — can offer the next generation. But if anything landed, I hope it was the idea of resilience, adaptability, and maybe not taking the guest speaker at Career Day too seriously.

Really, stop being so proud of your accomplishments….??!!!
You done good kid….
BTW, the kid to your left has the look that says what you said in the last line……… but more likely “why am I here, I wanna go play with my iphone?” 🙂
