Biz News

We cover important business news from last week that you need to know. 

Everyone has heard the saying “if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life,” but is that statement true? Apple CEO Tim Cook stated at his commencement speech at Tulane University that this saying is “total crock.” His advice is to find a job you are passionate about, whether it be the values behind the product, the company, or the job. He then says he joined Apple not because of the brand or the products. The value and idea behind the products inspired him. Cook wanted to be a part of putting powerful tools in the hands of everyday people and that drove his passion. Our story comes from CNBC.
