The Wall Street Journal has posted an article on the higher rate of selection of Veterans for business schools in the recent year.
These business schools site respect, teamwork, and discipline among other aspects that appeal to the schools. Particularly the ability of Veterans to bring a wealth of experience into the classroom to enrich discussions.
Credit Suisse Group says “an internal study found that employees with military backgrounds tended to be highly successful due to a sense of discipline and ability to build camaraderie.”
As more experienced Vets leave the service, the work force and the US economy will benefit from their contributions. I hope to see more Veterans being chosen for their abilities to overcome adversity and positively contribute to whatever group they decide to participate in. Of course I have a very subjective opinion.
