This past weekend, my daughter asked me a question over dinner: “What was your most valuable work experience?” I didn’t even put down my fork — it took a nanosecond to answer. The Monday following my college graduation, I started a paid summer internship as a ‘Corporate Researcher’ at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in Washington, DC. While it was highly coveted and prestigious — it didn’t pay well. To make ends meet, I also worked at night at a bookstore/café called “Kramer’s & Afterwards”. So… I was a waiter for a summer while I worked at the SEC.”
