But I have pressing family issues. Life is tough nowadays, especially post-Covid!
At the last open house for the New Jersey EMBA Program – it happened to be an online event on a Saturday – one of the current students was scheduled to speak to the attendees for a few minutes. He was doing so from his SUV, bringing his kids home from swimming. Later in the conversation, he had to head to Shoprite! By the time the session ended, one of the attendees had the same question as above, and he (now finally home) addressed it with: “Look, I am an executive in a major pharmaceutical company with a demanding job and I have four kids—the youngest was born just literally days before I started Rutgers EMBA. This is not an exceptional day for me—this is a TYPICAL day for me. If I can do it, anyone can!”
