Diversion

At 35, Joseph J.. Koenig was a successful manufacturer of gift-shop novelties, with a pleasant middle age ahead of him. At that point, instead of taking up golf or Sunday painting, he decided that he might enjoy going to college--he never had.

For six years, working at his novelties by day, Koenig studied nights at New York University's School of Commerce. He took economics, finance, ethics, government and literature. Last week, Manufacturer Koenig finished up summa cum laude, with the highest marks (36 A's, three B's) in School of Commerce history. He had enjoyed it all so much that he immediately enrolled for an M.A. Said he: "No, I don't think it will help my career. I just thought I needed a diversion."
