The common wisdom is following: if you are good in programming, you become programmer, if you're good musically you become musician, etc. BUT if you aren't good in anything you go and work in management :) I too agree with the post.

Back when I ran my consulting company, I read "Harvard Business Review." Mostly for laughs. It astounded me to no end that there wasn't much of any substance in it - no mathematical modeling, no rigorous statistical analysis, nothing of the sort. Just fluff.
