I thought irony was better tasting

I am a business student. Well I was a business student, since I have no more classes in business, but a paper and an exam still stand between me and becoming a BComm (stupid paper and exams... grrrrr). Either way, for the last 4 years, I have studied business-y courses.

I have learned a lot from my degree:
-People are resources.
-Some of those people are even employed in the field of human resource management. That's where they learn that apparently resources have feelings.
-I have an undying love for excel and spreadsheets.

I have a rather prevalent disdain for people in general, so viewing people as resources, or a means to an end, makes my life easier. I recognize that some people would disagree and find this to be a rather harsh and cynical outlook, but those are the sort of resources that you don't employ in Human Resources for efficacy issues.

Now here is where the aforementioned irony comes in. Despite my view that humans are resources, whose purpose it is to drive the bottom line, I place a higher premium on people than many individuals with whom I have dealt as of late do.

In fact, regardless of what my courses have told me, I believe that there are things that are more important than money. (I think that the little economist in me just died a little.) As such, if a person has made a mistake or needs help, one should try and help them out and not just look at the bottom line and the marginal benefits and marginal costs of helping them. After all, there are somethings mastercard can't do that are still important. But I guess money really does corrupt. That is why some individuals place money at a higher premium than people and organizations.

Personally, if I were stranded on a desert island, money would not be my first choice of resource. So I am glad that my business degree taught me that money in and of itself is just another resource, and not the be all and end all; which makes it easier to justify all the money I paid for my degree.
