Featured in the New York Times:
This interview with Richard R. Buery Jr., president and chief executive of the Children’s Aid Society, based in New York, was conducted and condensed by Adam Bryant.
Q. Do you remember the first time you were somebody’s boss?
A. When I was in college, I started a summer camp for kids in a housing project in Roxbury, Boston. I was a boss in the sense that I was in charge, but these weren’t folks whose careers were riding on this. That was really my first experience being in charge of something.
Q. Were the people working for you volunteers?
A. The college students and high school students were working for modest wages for the summer. But I had to hold them accountable. I had to create a plan. I was responsible for what happened. It was a great experience.
Q. Talk more about that.

Alum Talk: Konstantin Schaller
Dear Class of 2010,
What they never tell you about leaving Middlebury: when the bubble bursts, reality will hit you. It may not hit you hard, but it will hit you. It’s not pleasant, but it’s nothing to be afraid of. In fact, chances are, the better you are prepared, the less likely you will be negatively surprised. Here are some common difficulties which you may encounter.
iNSPIRATION #3
“Keep your ethics high and it will soon become one of your most admired qualities. Very few remain committed to their ethical standards. Do not let yours down. Be the exception rather than the rule.”
iNSPIRATION #2
“You are infinitely better off making $25,000 and being happy than making $50,000 and being miserable. No, the extra $25,000 is really not worth the misery. Happiness is priceless.”
iNSPIRATION#1
“Don’t be afraid to ask questions in your job search and life in general. There are many people willing to help. But first you must be willing to ask for their help.”
With that being said…head over to MiddNet!
