"I was wrong about
IBM. You can get into
the mainstream here
with a liberal arts degree!'
"I used to think IBM was a place for engineers, scientists;
and machines.
"But not for
.liberal arts graduates. And definitely not for
American History majors, like me. (This is John Robohm,
an IBM Marketing Representative specializing in banking.)
"Then I talked with an IBM interviewer. He explained that
much of the work at IBM is solving problems. So if you have a
logical mind, you could go into areas like programming or market
ing. Both of which are in the heart of IBM's bu.siriess.
"My job is helping banks use computers. Which isn't nearly
as technical as it sounds. You deal with peOple a lot more than
with machines.
"At first, the idea of sales appalled me. You know, you think
of Willy Loman and so on. But marketing at IBM is entirely
different. You're a problem solver. You have to come up with
new solutions for every customer.
"I guess that's what makes the job so interesting. That and the
level of people you deal with. I usually work directly With the
president of the bank. You get a lot of responsibility in this job
very soon after you start. And if you're good, your income goes
along with it."

road was covered with a thick
fog, but the two oars continued
slowly on their ways.
As they approached the New
ark exit, a third automobile,
stalled on a ramp, blocked
their way, and the two cars
collided with each other.
The occupants of the two
cars, unhurt, first met as they
crawled from the debris. One
of the first word^ someone said
was, "How did we ever sur
vive?" Later, after the cars
were towed away, the two
groups got together, and found
they had common interests.
After playing together, the two
groups decided to merge.
