It's crazy how things like this aren't taught in high school or college in my opinion, I agree with you. <br><br>I wish there was a degree in sales here at Clarkson and I wish that I could take classes on networking.

It seems totally the right thing to do intuitively, especially based on what you and I have studied about socializing. There was also the point that handshakes should last no longer than "1 miss-iss-ippi," but that begs a question...what do you suggest for when the other person holds the handshake way too long? This has only happened to me during a group conversation and it seems like the other person just forgot what was happening. Is there anything you think this would tell me?
