My advice to graduates

When they ask me to be the keynote speaker at a prestigious college graduation (and they will), I will not wax philosophical on my life to date or "the road ahead" or the "beginning of the next phase of your young life." No, I will look out upon those straight rows of mortarboards and tassels, at the shifting eagerness of young hope adorned in black gowns, and I will shout, from the top of my lungs, directly into the microphone I will shout:

"Stay in school!"
Yippee! Corporate America is going to be so much fun!
