drinking with PhD's

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Ottawa, 2017.07.18

Tonight I found myself drinking with four Ph D's and one professor - all substantially younger than me. They're the alleged subject-matter-experts at the center of my client's knowledge-based business. I met no fewer than six people who admitted they held a Ph.D. Smart crowd.

It reminds me of the Citi-owned investment bank I worked for in that I was surrounded by clever people. I definitely prefer that to the alternative.
