From Waffle House worker to Waffle Street author: UNC grad James Adams writes about his experience
Posted May 24, 2016
After earning an MBA in finance from UNC, James Adams went to work as a product manager in a hedge fund. And after two years spent in the eye of the financial hurricane that was the 2008 meltdown, he said the pink slip he received in 2009 came as somewhat of a relief.“There is some kind of an emotional trauma when you’ve got to tell these people you’ve lost billions of dollars from their pensions,” Adams said.
