Sum up your international experience I learned a lot from my international experience this summer, which is why I am extremely thankful for the scholarship donors who made this experience more possible for me and so many other Pitt Business students.  I spent my two months working a finance internship at a freight forwarding company…

Growing up in the United States, I’ve always equated long work days with a high level of success. People who work 50-hour work-weeks are more successful and deserving than those who clock out at 5 pm, regardless of what they do during that window of time.
