re: Catholic High alum in Baton Rouge question

As ridiculous as it may be, people who say connections don't matter are kidding themselves. 20 plus years on I am amazed at how this opens doors to conversations.

Ignore the haters, and the deniers, but if you are in a field where business deals and transactions occur (and don't just read this as being in sales), connections go a long way, especially in the South, and even more so in BR.

Being a Catholic alum and having been in a fraternity with a good alumni base has helped me immeasurably in business.
