He was definitely on the debate team!

Also the debate club. I have *ahem* personal experience with the types that are attracted to debate club and Dwight fits the bill.

Lol Comfect! [Kevin voice] Nice. [/Kevin voice]. And Warrior - he probably WAS the anime club. Assuming FFA didn’t take up all his time.

Can we all at least agree that if Dwight did go to college he was head of the Anime club?

I assume Karen has a BA (no way someone with her ambition didn't get one, "go to college" is advice #1) but probably not Ryan's MBA work.

[Andy voice] You know where has a good ag school? Cornell. It's in the Ivy League, you know. [/Andy voice]

However if he did, I'd say his major would have been, agriculture. How else would he know about the need for phosphorus for above ground leafy growth?

I'd say no Dwight didn't go to college. He wouldn't trust higher education, claiming learning through farming is better.

Better question: Did Dwight go to college? What did He major in?

*leaves a lot of room for speculation.

She could have. Thing is I don't think we learned a lot about Karen personally other than her potato chip preference. That leads a lot of room for speculation.

Coley
Oh, assuming Ryan was only hired because he had a degree and she didn’t, sorry. She very well could have!

And, yeah, I don’t see her as “big picture” ambitious but they wrote her believably ambitious when compared to most others in the office.

How do we know Karen didn’t major in business?
Jun 19, 2019 10:07 am [Delete] [Edit]

Coley
New challenge: use the sentence “Karen was a mediocre salesperson.” in a fic. PolySci sounds about right though. Liberal Arts, maybe.

warrior4
And who's more ambitious than a politician?
Jun 19, 2019 09:53 am [Delete] [Edit]

warrior4
Maybe Karen majored in Political Science. I could see lessons learned on how to try and convince *cough* manipulate *cough* to her point of view could easily translate to a sales job.

Coley
Dang it. Now I’m wondering what Karen DID major in, if it wasn’t business. And NLM, the ambitious comment— do you think that’s more of a fanfic becoming reality thing? Like Pam drawing hands?

😂😂😂😘 Don’t hurt yourself! It’s not my fault she blew the interview.

Oops! I meant to specifically that long string of eye rolls at Coley.

(Gotta way, it feels great to be temporarily back on the Petty toward Karen train)

Coley
Yup. Ryan was very much a “he has a business degree” hire. I wouldn’t doubt that Karen’s interview was similar to Michael’s. It was a courtesy. I think they would have seriously considered Jim.

Ryan obvs wasnt qualified but I took that as a commentary on business putting too much weight on degrees, assuming “well educated” people automatically make good managers when they often dont

NobleLandMermaid
So I can imagine in her interview it was maybe clear she was chasing the status of the job more than she was actually qualified, she’s not portrayed as a particularly skilled saleswoman ever
