    Laptop for Bschool

    while i hate dells, i've been using them since 2001 since both college and grad school had dell support on campus. and while dell does suck, i've always been a fan of their support, in person at least (i know, of course, that the support personnel at these places are students). don't know if...

    anyone else wear shoes a bit too big?

    For most people shoes that are too large will be far from comfortable. Probably. But I'd rather be sliding around and slipping out instead of having shoes that are too narrow, both in width and height. Cursed feet, I have. I guess I've never known what it's like to have shoes that really fit...

    anyone else wear shoes a bit too big?

    good lord, this post reads like a horror novel. kvx, do your shoes wear wear down pretty fast? I ask because ill-fitted shoes will deteriorate faster. what shoe brands are you wearing? Haven't noticed any fast weardown--but then again, I've never had anyone's feet but my own, and I don't really...

    anyone else wear shoes a bit too big?

    By length, i should be a 10 (maybe even a 9.5), but I got pretty wide feet. Sometimes, I'm lucky enough to find wide shoes, but usually, I just make do with 10.5s and 11s. The problem, of course, is that while the feet are very wide up front, they're normal-sized near the heels, so I'm always...

    Laptop for Bschool

    Depends on where you're going to school, but having spent 7 years in non-urban schools, I'd say whatever brand that has on-site service on campus. Again, I sell thinkpads (among other things) so let me know if you have any other questions. Would you say that Thinkpads are THE superior choice of...

    I want to work in the NBA

    If through an academic path, major in math/applied math/economics and try to get internships with teams that employ a lot of quantitative analysis. I've known a couple MIT kids who've worked for major sports teams. You can also do marketing and things like that, work for the business operation...

    Korean English Teachers Question

    I did this right after college and your figures are bullshit. i did this right after college and i can assure you it is not. with a over-simplified 1000won:1USD exchange rate, the going rate for SAT tutoring was around $35-50/hr if you were teaching a class at a decent hagwon (academy/cram...

    Korean English Teachers Question

    If said person graduated from a prestigious university, why the hell would he/she be TESLing? in my case, i was between college and grad school. i think that was the case for a few other folks. especially understandable if we're talking about law schools, which pays little attention to...

    Korean English Teachers Question

    Also, if the said person graduated from a "prestigious" university, he could make a lot more (under the table, on the side, etc) by teaching SSAT/SAT/GRE/GMAT and revising admissions essays. $10k/month during the summer is not unheard of.

    Management Consulting Discussion

    vault.com should have the info you're looking for. Off the top of my head, there are the big 5 accounting/consulting firms, monitor group, at kearney, booz, mercer. there are also some excellent boutique firms that should also give you some excellent exit ops, such as LEK or Parthenon. Not...

    ExperienceWith Prep Schools?? (Part 2)

    Relevance of any boarding school has decreased dramatically; suspect they are largely refugee camps for kids from ThirdWorld or the kids of the affluent surgeon/cardiologist from Podunk US Maybe 15+yrs ago in investment banking (not trading) at Goldman, MS, etc would see lots of kids from elite...

    What did you go to school for?

    So Penn, Chicago and NYU law are worthless? these are perfectly great schools to attend if you're set on being a lawyer working for a large firm. more likely than not, going forward, a degree from these schools will set you up for a fine upper-middle class life. (although a separate story as to...

    Korean English Teachers Question

    hopefully he'll have a lot of fun. if poop really hits the fan, well, i've always been a big fan of challenging/crappy experience early on in life--builds character and gives perspective, i think. as long as he doesn't get hurt or get in trouble with the law, it's all good. if the dude's...

    Business Administration Major--Useless?

    If you're than interested in a particular subject, find a syllabus online, read the same pages and write on the same paper topic. It's that easy to get a liberal arts education, and you don't have to waste time and money in classes. We all have 168 hours a week and you spend a hell of a lot of...

    Top law school w/ Canadian ug - disadvantage?

    Largely echoing Lord-Barrington, 1) afaik, Dartmouth will treat international students the same as domestic students in terms of Financial Aid. As will Harvard and a handful of other top privates. Of course, depending on family income, this might still be more than what one pays in Canada. 2)...

    Business Administration Major--Useless?

    While I would be an idiot not to discern any sort of correlation between those majors and CEO jobs, I think 2 points are glaringly omitted. Firstly, those 3 are probably the most popular majors anyway, or at least top 5; granted engineering encompasses a pretty broad range of actual "majors"...
