Three 1st Year MBA Strategies For Use In Getting an iPhone
Yes, true to form I am in line early to get my iPhone 3G. But...I have a strategy.
With the incredible powers of intellect bestowed upon me by the likes of Luke Froeb and Gary Scudder, my strategy is wholey intended to minimize my stress and maximize my chances of getting one:
1) Game Theory - Everyone and their mother is going to be at the Apple Store so I went to an AT&T store...30 minutes away.
2) Be A First Mover - I got here at 5:30 AM...and yet there were still 12 other people in line.
3) It's All About People - Get friendly with the store manager and you'll find they react better than the uber-competative guys.
We're about an hour out from opening and our fearless AT&T crowd liason has informed us that there are just enough phones for all of us in line to get the one we want.
That's Strategy!
You're a *second year*, Jared.

The post was actually meant to reflect ideas and/or skills gained during the first year as evidence that they do, indeed, serve a purpose.

Isn't one of those skills the ability to distinguish between the numbers 1 and 2? If it isn't, *shouldn't* it be?
