What I heard surprised me: most of them had three or four jobs in the four years since we’d been out of college. This was a serious departure from my dad’s 25 years for the gold watch ethic. Since then, studying the next generation has grown into a business, and the interviews have grown into the tens of thousands.

  • Forbes Billionaires: Full List of the Richest Americans
    http://onforb.es/OSzW9a Abram Brown Forbes Staff I write about people who build businesses. LISTS 3/03/2014 @ 6:57AM Forbes Billionaires: Full List Of The Richest Americans Comment Now Folksy and infinitely quotable, Warren Buffett is the Mark Twain of billionaires. He has warned about the temptations of buying fair things at wonderful prices rather than wonderful things at fair prices, and then in almost the very next breath, laid out the two rules for winning–the first being not to lose and the second being not to forget the first rule. Easier said than done, perhaps, but Buffett has proven himself capable of practicing what he preaches. Such restraint has made him immensely successful. A fact that hasn’t escaped his attention either. “I always knew I was going to be rich,” he once said. “I don’t think I ever doubted it for a minute.” We haven’t had much reason to doubt it either. Buffett is the second richest American and the fourth richest person in the world billionaire’s list at $58.2 billion, down slightly from last September when we sharpened our pencils and calculated his fortune at $58.5 million. He’s been a fixture at the Top 5 for the past two decades and has appeared on every one of our 28 billionaires issues. Buffett’s pal Bill Gates is not only the wealthiest American but the wealthiest in the world. He’s No. 1 with $76 billion. While Buffett slipped, Gates is up–by $4 billion. Following closely behind Gates and Buffett in America: Larry Ellison ($48 billion), Charles and David Koch ($40 billion a piece), Sheldon Adelson ($38 billion) and the Walton clan (Christy, $36.7 billion, Jim, $34.7 billion, and Alice $34.3).

  • Testimony of Laura Wallace Joint Economic Committee June 14, 2007 Washington, D.C
    Testimony of Laura Wallace Joint Economic Committee June 14, 2007 Washington, D.C. Good morning Chairman Schumer, Vice Chair Maloney, and Members of the Committee. My name is Laura Kellison Wallace, Manager of the SAS Work/Life and EAP Programs. I send greetings and regrets on behalf of Jeff Chambers, our Vice President of Human Resources that he was unable to appear before you this morning. Before I get into my statement, I thought I might give you some context of my background. I am a New Yorker by birth and spent most of my childhood between Manhattan and Brattleboro, Vermont. I graduated from Smith College in 1987 with a major in children’s Psychology. I received my Master’s degree in Social Work from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1995. I have almost 20 years of experience working with families and children in several capacities including as both a Head Start teacher and in-home research associate; as a Director of an Early Childhood Education AmeriCorps Program for 3 years, and with many years of direct practice experience with families with special needs; court mandates and high-risk behaviors. For the last nine years, I have worked in the Work-Life/Work-Family field in a university and then corporate setting. Before SAS, I was the Work/Family Program Manager at UNC-Chapel Hill and, as I mentioned, I am now the Manager of Work/Life & EAP Programs at SAS Institute. I came to SAS almost 8 years ago and was immediately charged with responsibility for work/life programs. I found myself working for a company that provides its employees with a unique environment which fosters creativity and ingenuity.
