Great comment on AnnArbor.com by someone named Steve Thorpe. Responding to the bachelor's degree requirement for job applicants at the online site, Mr. Thorpe placed the following comment:
"Steve Thorpe in May 1, 2009 1:44 PM
Bachelor's degree? I guess Steve Jobs, Michael Dell, Bill Gates, Larry Ellison and Paul Allen need not apply. Very 21st century. But then I presume you only intend to be unconventional in SOME ways."
As someone on this blog noted, this requirement will also probably disquality a number of those "hat-on-backwards" types as well.
The want new and unconventional, but only if they have a conventional degree.

same o'l management though.
today on the bay city times:
http://www.mlive.com/baycityforward/index.ssf/2009/05/bay_city_times_obituaries_will.html
a story about a new phone-in obituary line, which according to the editor, "illustrates the opportunities that newspapers are finding as new technology emerges."
the telephone. amazing!!!
It was on the front page of the Flint Journal as well.
I'm going to blog about this after church. I think there is a big opportunity for someone out there to start a small sheet with just obituaries and eat the Journal's lunch again.
I think that broadsheet needs to be the obituaries plus Dear Abby. And maybe a few daily events...
