One of my fellow bloggers, Katie, recently observed that people are splitting off and forming closer friendships with those that have similar career goals. In the spirit of the MBA, I'd like to offer another persepective.
It might seem like the 'consultants' or 'finance' folk are all hanging out with one another. How can it not? There are so darn many of them. What you don't see is all the 'entrepreneurs' hanging out with one another or the 'family business' folk (all 2 of us) joined at the hip. If anything, I'd say that people are chilling more with people from their section due to overall familiarity.
One take away from either of our views is that there are lots of people from lots of different backgrounds. It's easy to strike up a conversation with anyone and you will definitely makes friendships that will last a lifetime.
