I Work At....

For reasons best understood by the layers of deans at my place of employment, I used to work at what was commonly known as the Kennedy School of Government (KSG). Now I work at the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS). And here is a terrific and mercifully brief history of the school's name. Funny--when I was commuting in today it didn't feel like I was starting a new job on what seems like the first day of spring in New England.

Now all that's left is to start spending the school's money getting new HKS stationery and business cards.

Nothing new. Back in 1946 my father transferred from the Army of the United States to the United States Army.

Same rank, unit and MOS, uniforms the same lovely shade of green, but he was in a different army!

The institution has plenty of money...order 40# cotton stationery with gold leaf trim. They won't mind.

It may be called the "school's" money but if you follow the $'s they all lead back to the public in one way or another.

Even Harvard believes "Government" is a word to be avoided (from a marketing perspective at least). I guess we truly are in the "Age of Milton Friedman".

Hi, I found your post really interesting, my friend and I run a small internet marketing business at home. We are roommates, so after our day job, we spend an hour on research and work.
