Often times I think about the skills I learned in school and how I am utilizing them to do my job everyday. All the case studies, group work, term papers and that very long, yet very informative thesis I wrote for my masters degree and think I missed out on a couple of valuable lessons that would help me right about now!
I'm sure that many of you could think of classes or subjects that should have been offered to you in preparation for the "real world". Take a look at my top 3 classes that I think should have been offered in undergrad or graduate school and their descriptions.
1 - How to successfully hone your "Acting" skills for the workplace
Introduces to corporate practitioners to the theatrics needed to achieve the highest level of "fake". Lecture, discussion and performance.
2 - Brown-nosing / Kissing up 101
Defining what a "brown-noser and/or kiss up" actually is. The introduction of types and tactics and fundamental concepts needed for application.
3 - Strategies to remain sane in an ever changing office environment
The integration of concepts, theories and framework that will explain in detail the "how to" in keeping your sanity, moral character and ethics when thrust into an office environment where you will encounter multiple personalities and difficult situations.
A "tongue-in-cheek" perspective on the corporate world, careers and office behavior.

This is sooo true! I think there should be some classes that are based off more real-life/work-life scenarios!
That would've made a smoother transition for me!
