...gentler field of healing. The son of Ghanaian academics, he was born in Wisconsin, reared in Tanzania and Kenya, and earned degrees in medicine and public health at Harvard and an M.B.A. at Oxford. After graduating, he followed his business bent and took a job at McKinsey & Co., the big New York City management-consulting firm. But that didn't mean he left the medical world behind. The field of medicine, after all, is really about product distribution--that product being good health--and from what he could see, the distribution channels were too often clogged, particularly in Africa...
...system. The passive Northern businessman was just as bad as the plantation owner. To be fair, certainly some of us do come from backgrounds where we need the Goldman Sachs job to pay off loans or to support our families. Maybe a few of us actually do need the McKinsey business experience in order to start that nonprofit that will save the world. But most who take such paths don’t have these excuses. Many of the future I-bankers assure us that they will head to public interest work after a couple years instead of to Bentleys...
...improving with regard to bisexual, gay, and lesbian Americans, discrimination is still a fact of life for those in all but the most accepting industries and regions of the country.

That’s what keeps the disproportionate percentage of impoverished queer Americans in poverty...
...presidential campaign thrust the offshoring of American jobs into the spotlight, and although the issue no longer dominates the headlines, it hasn't moved to an Asian call center. According to a new study by the McKinsey Global Institute, 2.3 million service jobs will have moved offshore from the U.S. by 2008, up from 900,000 as of 2003. So how do you protect yourself...
China and India trained more than 480,000 engineers in 2003. Is there no limit to the number of American jobs that will move there? Actually, there is. The McKinsey Global Institute, research arm of the consulting firm, spent a year trying to find the "theoretical maximum" number of jobs that could move offshore from the U.S. and Europe. Its conclusion: 11% of 1.46 billion global-services jobs could be performed remotely, but only 4.1 million of those jobs will actually move offshore by 2008. One big reason: after interviewing dozens of hiring managers in China, India and elsewhere, McKinsey...
