Janet Yellen
American Public Servant
Business students are very oriented to playing a role in the real world and accomplishing something, not training themselves to be scholars and contribute to the literature. Teaching in that kind of environment has focused me much more on the real world, how pieces of the theory I know can be applied to real-world situations.

What are you going to value? What's going to be most important to you? And I think that's really interesting to write about.
