Quite a few years ago, I read a WSJ article by a man who considered RMs very favorably in his hiring practices. It's been a very long while, and I haven't the faintest what industry or position he was in, but he found them to be mature, with some real-world experience, able to focus and put up with problem situations, and persevere. Of course, he was dealing with a cult. I learned those virtue
