>The reasons I won't be an exec at a bigCo-

..in Texas

I've worked in Texas oil, have many friends who still do, and have even visited extensively with a very successful oil exec in Houston...

S_A_P's generalizations aren't fair at all.

That exec I met had a Harvard MBA, 20 years experience at his company (where he started out entry-level), extensive market knowledge/expertise, integrity, strong character, etc. Qualities that actually matter when billions of dollars are on the line.

Not sure why I even bothered to chime in.
