As an accountant by trade, my work for blue chip companies took me all over the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I built private sector jobs all my life.
When I was in graduate school in consumer science and math, all of the big companies had labs, all doing blue sky research.
I run businesses all around the United States, all around the globe.
I always wanted to work on the consumer market; I always wanted to work with people.
My expertise was in public finance, particularly corporate taxation, since I had worked at the US Treasury.
Well, I got to have a project. I'm not a blue-sky guy at all. I'd never let anybody like me loose in a company.
I was an international tax specialist. Yeah, I was an international man of mystery and tax specialist.
I had a very good job in corporate America, but I quickly knew that was not how I was wired.
I had a good job as a printer in the East End. Before the unions destroyed it, that job was very lucrative.
When I came back to India after Harvard Business School, I started as a lawyer and as a trade union leader.
