GMAT AWA

[The best applicants for entry lever jobs are those college graduates who have a board educational background in such fields as history, literature, and philosophy.] To what extent you agree or disagree with this statement? The idea that an applicant with a broad educational background can be highly effective is best illustrated by the example of Steven Jobs who who went to a liberal arts college. Business success is increasingly awarded to the individual who can recognize and exploit connections between areas. A borad-based educational background can provide the analytical skills to make such connections. Consider the example of Steven Jobs, the founder of Apple Computer. Steven Jobs, while never actually graduateing from college, attended a small liberal arts college which does not offer any business courses. This same man saw a connection between the burgeoning power of the computer chip and the demand of the user-friendly ways to tap the power. The resulting product, teh Macintosh, revolutionized the computer industy. An individual with a narrow business background, tied to stale classroom notions of how business should be conducted, might not have been able to see such connection.
