Two weeks ago I was given an amazing opportunity to be interviewed for an article focusing on college students and the family business. Last week Alison Damast conducted a 20 minute interview over the phone for the article. We talked at length about what I am learning in the class, the current job situation for soon to be graduates, and family businesses.
Overall I am very pleased with this article. I thought it represents myself, the family business, and the University of Nebraska in a positive manner. I hope that this article helps persuade the University of Nebraska to give this class I am currently taking MNGT 322 permanent funding. There are a lot of kids who have personal ties to a family business and the normal curriculum of the College of Business Administration does not talk about the uniqueness and the potential challenges in family businesses. I did think the stock Getty image used in the article was kind of funny though.
