The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

For sure IP.

I'm just about wrapping up my professional career and I've managed groups ranging from 10s to 1000s. Currently back to right around a 100 so close enough to have at least a high level feel for most of the people in my area.

One thing that is immediately noticeable theses days in our first year/job after college employees (all engineers of some kind) is those who have worked and those who have not worked in college or HS beforehand. Those who have some work experience almost inevitably end up getting to our lower mid-rung quicker.

I think parents who don't insist on some type of work experience through college are doing their children no favors.
