Now, understand, I am sure you've learned during your years of college -- and if not, you will learn soon -- that there are a whole lot of folks who are book smart and have no common sense. That's the truth. You'll meet them if you haven't already. So the fact that they've got a fancy degree -- you got to talk to them to see whether they know what they're talking about. Qualities like kindness and compassion, honesty, hard work -- they often matter more than technical skills or know-how.
