The immediate implications are obvious. The long term implications would be that I'd be in a position to become grand poobah in my late 40s.. about 15 years younger than the last 5 grand poobahs.

It's an interesting study into the modern workforce. Baby-boomers are sticking around longer occupying a large segment of the workforce and, as they promote out of the workforce, they leave a substantial vacuum of experience and qualification. Instead of a continuous fluidity to the turnover cycle there's a very abrupt and sharp drop off in knowledge, skills and abilities.

Should be a hell of a ride..Buy me Togo's.
So umm are you like smart or something?

I generally like to think I am, but on the grand scale, I'm probably not.
