One of the best business management educations in the world and she is a ground level criminal in two different industries?
MBA - madam - drug lord is far more believable.

Oh, I'm awake ...
I assume Garvin meant to write Ironside, as in the Blair Underwood series remake of the Raymond Burr show or is the History Channel airing a special on the War of 1812? But then, there weren't any Stanford MBAs back in 1812, were there? ;)

Agreed. The preferred MBA career path is pimp, not whore.

While it's a classic nice-work-if-you-can-get-it profession, disintermediation caused by the internet suggests rents will go away and the "pimp" career path will go the way of the classified ad. A truly sharp MBA would further extrapolate that skill-based inequality tends to reward top performers in a given field, suggesting that a more entrepreneurial path is in doing it yourself.

The only time I ever got walked out to my car by a boss was when I resigned from one firm to go to a competing firm, and my boss called me the "most immoral man he knew," for joining a competitor. I said to him, "Mark, you're recruiting an international tax partner, one who would obviously come from a competitor." He stared at me for a solid ten seconds then snapped "that's different!" I said "Really? So it's okay to be a pimp but not a whore?"
That's when he called security and I was walked to my car. Ah well, say luh vee.Â

Why did you write c'est la vie like that? Is there some kind of humor that I'm missing?
