reader, anonymous, writes (8 November 2010): your boyfriend has done what he thought appropriate in the circumstances, and may be more strategic and practical, whereas, despite your MBA you may still be too emotional. Something the company recognised as an issue you still need to work on. An MBA and a PHD are not a fast track to anything. The lack of street smarts and the naivity amongst some graduates, as well as the arrogance of some who can't write a letter, can't spell, and think they already know it all has often horrified me. Eventually they learn that they still have a lot to learn, despite all they achieved at Uni.
