[PitchRate] One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn’t belong...

Hey Kyle,
 
Believe it or not, I have a degree in chemical engineering. I know, right? What was I thinking? No offense to all you engineers out there, but I think even my professors knew chemistry wasn't "it" for me.
 
It was like that Sesame Street song about shapes. They show 4 shapes: 3 of which are circles and one a lonesome square. It's clear that the square doesn't belong there, but they rub it in by singing a little ditty -"One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong..." - and that pretty much sums up me in engineer school.
 
But the fact that I was a unique individual in the University of Utah's engineering program isn't the point to this story.
 
The point is, even though engineering was not my thing, it did teach me a very valuable skill that has served me well in business: how to think in "processes".
 
In my blog today, I talk more about my life's lessons as a square - and how you, too, can apply chemical engineering to business.
 
Check it out, and tell me... What have you done in your life that didn't quite feel like a fit with who you really are?
