A Pilot? A Fireman? An NFL Quarterback? No! It’s A Software CEO
Written by Gregg Dourgarian

My 8-year-old had a school project to dress up like the person he wanted to be when he grew up. He chose to be a software CEO.
I taught him how to hold the coffee cup and say “Office Space” lines like, “Hi, Peter. What’s happening? We need to talk about your TPS reports” and “Um, yeah… I’m gonna need you to come in on Saturday.”
But when he got to school he just told the girls he was dressed up like a billionaire. Apparently even in this economy “millionaire” does not count as cool anymore.
