Back on Track...

I can breath once more. My inherited son has been released from the hospital. He still has one heart test, but we can schedule that later. He's happy to be back home, in his own bed, instead of the cold, sterile hospital. Much better with internet connection. Yeah, that's my son.

Article from FT.com; Web ads sector lacks experienced staff!
According to advertising and media industry executives, one of the biggest obstacles towards even more rapid growth in the online advertising industry – particularly online video advertising – is the lack of experienced staff.

The web is the fastest-growing advertising sector.

In the US, spending is expected to increase by nearly 30 per cent this year to $16bn. In the rest of the world, growth is expected to reach 35 per cent this year, raising spending to $11.6bn, according to Merrill Lynch estimates.
Something to consider while in B-school and wondering what you want to do when you grow up...I mean postMBA.
