North Korea is on everyone's radar screen. Why? Because while there is hardly an economy to speak of, there is the business of missile and weapons development that Kim has carved out to remarkable success.
As we all know, great jobs are getting harder to come by, and reaching the top is as competitive as ever. Merit may be necessary, but, as many of us canattest, it's unlikely to be sufficient. There are, after all, many more well-qualified people than there are high-level jobs to fill, especially more qualified BOTS.
