RE:If you have been wondering this....You're not alone.I get your point, but coincidentally BNN interviewed the ceo of cibc I think it was. His first job at the bank was as a teller. My first job out of university was a clerk taking address changes and issuing new pink slips for an auto insurance company. 5 years later I was in the top 1% of salary earners at that insurance company. It happens more often than you think. Sometimes hard work, a few smarts, and blind luck helps more than an Ivy League pedigree with the right family name. I say good for the poor basstard at Walmart. LOL. Now maybe your management pals here are a disaster, but I wouldn't blame it on humble beginnings.

Well NOTHING beats this one.
How's about a guy who is Supervisor of Drywall Installation......one day, ...and the next day he's the CEO of a Company, thinking he can build a box to Save Planet Earth....and then Marketing it. ???????????? Really ????????? no......REALLY ?????????????
Now you would think that such a move would require about 15 to 20 Years of Intense Education in Science, Engineering and Marketing wouldn't ya? NOPE! NADDA..... Simply Step right up, put your name on a business card, and away ya go. Well....away ya go... to Nowhere!
Prior to that we had a CEO who was a Book Salesman thinking he could do the same thing!
Gee...I wonder if that's the reason behind 17 Years of Failure and 60 Million bucks in the hole!
And when you're done shaking your head at that.....try to imagine that not a single one of them knew that it Rains in India....that it gets Cold in the NWT....and School busses only run for 2 hours a day. The ONLY conclusion these facts reveal is that ......They haven't got a CLUE what they're doing!
Hence the saying..... Truth is stranger than Fiction!
