Having a college degree gave me the opportunity to be... well-rounded. Also, the people I met at the university, most of them are still my colleagues now. People I've known for years are all in the industry together.

If a student takes the whole series of my folklore courses including the graduate seminars, he or she should learn something about fieldwork, something about bibliography, something about how to carry out library research, and something about how to publish that research.

In my second year in graduate school, I took a computer course and that was like lightening striking.

So in my uncertainty, I went to graduate school and there it all happened.

Even though I didn't get a business degree, I enjoyed learning about economics.
