Dwight Specht looks at the success of our college hire program in his new post, [Where Do You Find Your Next Hire?](https://thedeathofreason.wordpress.com/2011/05/23/where-do-you-find-your-next-hire/)  
Though it’s a great post, he neglected to mention a few things that I wanted to highlight.   
First, David Duncan was a hire out of college three years ago, now he’s the co-author of a [book on Reporting in Dynamics GP](http://www.amazon.com/dp/1849682186/ref=as_li_tf_til?tag=polinofamilywebs&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=1849682186&adid=0F6F79GJV1DYG9NESDFD). Hire to expert, 3 years. It took me 10 years to get [my first book out](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1849680426?ie=UTF8&tag=polinofamilywebs&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1849680426). Apparently I’m a little slow. Thank goodness the [second one is available](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1849683808/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=polinofamilywebs&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399349&creativeASIN=1849683808). Maybe I can catch him on the average.  
Second, Kelsey Andrich is doing a terrific job blogging on what it’s like to go from college to consulting. In the process, she and all of the other hires, help [I.B.I.S.](http://ibisinc.com/) make this process better.  
Third, our college hires push our more experienced people. They learn at a pace that is freakishly fast and I’ve confessed on more than one occasion to a little jealously. Those of us who have been around for a while are running to stay ahead of them and losing. It’s fantastic.  
Finally, despite Dwight’s flagrant generalization, I am well below the 46-53 age bracket. This means that even if he is better looking than me, I will always be younger and have better hair.
