Growing up, my parents sent me to Chinese school on Saturday and Sundays and I hated it at the time since I couldn't play stickball with the rest of the neighborhood kids.
Fast forward 30 years later and I absolutely regret not sticking with it. I'm just about to graduate from my MBA program and each course pretty much emphasized China's economic rise and looming dominance.
So I started individual tutor lessons about 4 months ago so that I could add this as a "skill" and explore positions in China. I've been a country manager before (the reason why I moved from NYC to Canada) but Toronto is no Shanghai!
