So mom had a background in public health, I didn't have a background in anything. But she felt that a lot of the customers were being served by these massive government contracting firms who didn't care about mission or customer service. She felt the government was paying out all this money in overhead costs for consulting fees, and that there was no need for all that fat on the hog. So these big margins these companies were charging meant their own consultants were getting worked to death for too little, and the customers were overpaying.

Instead, she could pay consultants more, be less greedy, cut the overhead costs, and give customers better service. A lot of these big companies have horrible cultures and don't care about their own people or their customers beyond money.

But we had no idea what a pivot was, we had no strategy, no business plan, just grinding out of sheer terror and fear every day. We had no idea what we were doing, we just were too stupid to know we weren't supposed to succeed.

Actually mom wrote a book about her journey, and her process, its .99 on kindle if you want to check it out.

Non è una scelta facile. Io non ho studiato medicina, non ho mai provato attrazione per la professione medica, ma anni fa ho avuto le mie crisi esistenziali con l'università e all'epoca mi fu utile leggere la storia vera di un ingegnere che volle fare il medico. Forse a te potrà essere ancora più utile.

Ad ogni modo, diventare medico richiede un percorso di studi lunghissimo ed estenuante. La possibilità di fallire il test d'ingresso è davvero l'ultimo problema, quello che secondo me devi chiederti è se hai una vocazione per la medicina così forte da voler metterti sui libri per tipo i prossimi 10 anni della tua vita, rinunciando alla sicurezza e alla tranquillità di un posto di lavoro nell'azienda di tuo padre (perché studiare medicina e lavorare allo stesso tempo mi sembra una follia, sinceramente, quindi devi scegliere o l'uno o l'altro).

C'è chi ha deciso di iscriversi a medicina passati i trenta, e ha raccontato la sua esperienza in questo libro. Io ti consiglierei di leggerlo, così almeno puoi farti un'idea concreta di cosa comporterebbe una scelta del genere, e quindi decidere se secondo te ne varrebbe la pena oppure no.
