Happy hour or profit hour?
It’s Friday and many people across the world will be heading out with co-workers for a drink this evening. Do you go out with your co-workers?
After listening to this NPR story, you might give it a shot. As they write on the Marketplace site, “A new study shows that workers who are open to staying after work for a drink with colleagues make more money — a lot more.” [NPR]
Hey, maybe there’s a similar effect with people who take my NYU evening classes? I’ll have to examine it. Then I could market it as better for your career than an MBA!
Blending innovation and tradition: can you taste the difference?
Sept 21 – Oct 19, 6:30 – 8:30
[disregard the course description on the NYU page–this is what we will be doing]
Organic foods and wines are all the rage. But can you taste a difference? In this introductory course, we will look at five exciting wine regions and examine the history and culture and some leading producers. We will discuss the pros and cons of “natural” winemaking versus conventional in the Pacific NW, Napa/Sonoma, Argentina, the Loire and Bordeaux. Then we will put our discussion to the test with a blind tasting of at least five wines, including conventional, organic and even biodynamic. Can you taste the difference?

I read about that study and went out with a co-worker for drinks on Friday. I worked some overtime to make up for all the money I spent!! Does that count? : )

Ha! I wonder if the authors of the study too that into account!
Btw, here is a direct reference to the study:
