TALKING BUSINESS
An International Business Project
The goal of this project was to determine the relativity between how effective college education is for preparing us for our professional careers
Is more learned on the job than in the classroom?
Where does college education prove most useful?
Does the degree matter?
It started when our lecturer said what would come next
Well I believe no one would have thought it'd be that complex
Just imagine, most of us only started university two weeks ago
We expected the studies to start off rather slow
However, they decided to dive right into it
Rather than giving us time to quit
"It's about the intercultural experience," he said
And all of us nodded excitement with our heads
The two weeks passed really fast
The project started and turned out to be a blast
The project did not just include us
But also some people we couldn't get to by bus
Those people are going to a university in a country discovered in 1492
Do you already have a clue?
America it is
And not to start another quiz
The city the university is placed
Is the one people are living who have really good taste
It is New York City
A place many people call really pretty
We got to know each other
And immediately called each other brother
But there was no time for romance,
or a passionate dance
Becasue we got an amazing chance
We did an interview
With people, we barely knew
Those people were experts in a certain field
And talked with us about their experiences, completely unconcealed
Those people already achieved what we are striving for
But what they told us brought us down to the floor
Even though it was something we probably knew before
They are only driving a nice car
And they made it so far
Because they were working and studying like a rockstar
To achieve our goals, the professionals gave us advice
Not to always be nice
But to pay a certain price
The price is not about money, not dollars or euros
But about the coming lows
When something seems impossible it is the most important thing to keep going
That is what differentiates normal people from the ones who are glowing
Success has to be earned
But that was for sure not the only thing we have learned
When the day is one halfway over while the day of the other just starts
Organizing study deserves a Master of Arts
The organizing part might still have been fun
But setting an alarm for 3 am for an interview is definitely none
Even though the last sentence sounds annoyed
We will keep this experience in an imaginary Polaroid
