real world application
For fall break, I went to New York City to stay with some friends. There are so many people in the city and it's amazing the kind of conversations one can get into just from smiling and starting a conversation with someone on a train or on a plane. I got on the train after shopping and a guy from Wall St. got on at the next stop and sat next to me. He was reviewing papers from work and had stock quotes and other information on it and I passively commented on it. We started talking about investing and stock prices and interests. I asked him about his experience and what his job was like. It was a great conversation until we arrived at the West 23rd stop and I got off the train. On the flight home, I sat next to an investment banker who was talking about transactions and business deals with his partner before the flight took off. After we were in the air, I asked him what company he works for and about his job. He was happy to tell me about what he does and his experience. He does the management aspect for his company and so we chatted about many of the issues we are talking about in mgmt class. Both conversations were very enlightening about working in the real world and were made possible by all the topics covered in mgmt 250 so far.

I am so jealous that you were able to experience NYX in that way!
