Almost every candidate had a job during teenage years as newspaper delivery kid, or mowing neighbor’s lawn, or working in a fast food.
That candidate can not then say he/she went from hamburger flipping to become a US senator. We can all make such lofty claims!
The fact is, Fiorina was NOT put on the management track at AT&T because of her part time job as secretary while going to law school. It was because of her father’s connections and her law degree.
Now hold on a minute. Stop picking on Carly. I, myself, went from supermarket shelf stocking clerk and checker to company president. How’s that for career advancement?
Oh, guess I forgot to mention that I did the supermarket thingy while in college and grad school working part time during the school year and full time in the summers.
