I want you to do this until you have listed 800 Career Objectives--you might
have to go get some more cards!--and then I want you to arrange them in order
according to which objective contains the most vowels, okay? Great! We're on
our way! Call me when you're done!

TEST YOUR BUSINESS I.Q.

1. You are the world's largest manufacturer of carbonated beverages, and you
have a product that is famous worldwide, that is virtually synonymous
with the term "soft drink," and that has had the same formula for 99
years. It has a very loyal following. You are making millions and
millions of dollars selling it. You should:
(a) just keep it the way it is.
(b) Change the formula.
(c) Set fire to your own hair.

2. You are a major defense contractor, and you are building a gun for the Army
that is supposed to be able to shoot down enemy planes. So far the
taxpayers have paid you nearly $2 billion for it, and all your tests
indicate that the only way it would have any negative effect on an enemy
plane is if you could somehow sneak into the cockpit and manually whack
the pilot over the head with it. How should you deal with this problem?
(a) You should try really hard to do a better job.
(b) You should tell the Defense Department that they probably should get
another contractor.
(c) You should refund at least some of the taxpayers' money.

3. You are a major automobile manufacturer. You have been losing sales to
cars from other nations, particularly Japan, because their cars tend to
be fuel efficient, technologically advanced, and extremely well made,
whereas the most innovative concept you have come up with in the past two
decades is the opera window. You should:
(a) Have Congress pass a law restricting Japanese imports, so consumers will
have no choice but to buy your cars.
(b) Have Congress pass a law making it legal for you to kidnap consumers'
children and not return them until the consumers buy your cars.
(c) Have Congress pass a law ordering the United States Army to barge
directly into consumers' homes and take their money at gunpoint and give
it to you.
(d) Remind everybody a lot about Pearl Harbor.

4. You are in charge of a large department, and you have an opening for a
supervisor. The two obviously best-qualified candidates are women who
have worked in the department for the same amount of time. Both are
intelligent, highly competent, and respected by the other employees. In
every way they seem equally qualified, although it happens that one of
them is black. What decision do you make?
(a) You promote the black woman, on the theory that it will help compensate
for past injustices.
(b) You promote the white woman, on the theory that if you promote the black
