This weekend I graduated from Illinois State University with a Master’s in Business Administration and a Certificate in Organizational Leadership. I completed eight prerequisites and 12 degree-seeking courses in three and a half years, all while working full-time, continuing to volunteer in my community, and being a wife, mother, and friend. Here’s what I learned.
I listened to an interesting podcast yesterday on how to recession-proof your finances. Fluctuations with the yield curve, above–it inverted over the summer, then un-inverted itself late fall–have business leaders pondering the imminence of a recession. (A special thank you to my M.B.A. Economics class for helping me understand that sentence. Especially given I could not have written it six months ago.) Chief among the suggestions in the podcast was making yourself invaluable in your workplace, followed closely by stockpiling cash.
