Comment Re:Metal detector at the beach (Score 1) 169

Been doing it since the 1980's, still keep it in my camping gear but I'm too busy to do it on the weekends any more. Biggest thing I found - that I actually kept - was an old spear gun on the Oregon coast. Most valuable was an 1800's wedding ring with an old 'Mine Cut' 3/4 carat diamond with sapphires in a Utah campground, 4000 bucks.

Knowing the ins and outs of your profession quantitatively is the difference between dying in middle management and retiring in corporate because, if you are only capable of understanding the basic day to day numbers of your operation, you are not going to be much use in long term strategic thinking.

We promoted a middle management guy at work last year who was promptly demoted when he asked more questions about the graphs at presentations than a freshman.
