really don't worry about getting a serious financial internship after your freshman year, no offense but you don't really know enough to help a serious firm in a serious role. If possible try to find something close to home with any place related to the business world for any amount of hours. Any business experience is enough to apply for a financial internship your sophomore summer as it will just prove you are smart enough to work for a company and not fuck up.   Take this time to do some of your own research looking at specific fields you are interested in. I've had friends have success in the past where early on they just called around and networked through some friends, and shadowed like 5 different financial jobs for a day or two that summer. Really gives you an idea on what the day to day tasks are for different positions, something you can't get in a classroom.  Lastly don't stress about any of this stuff too much. No company is going to throw out your application because you had 2 years of finance internships instead of 3 or if your gpa isn't perfect. if you focus on learning these next few years about something you're interested in, you'll be not just good but great at what you do and you'll be successful.
In fact, self-employed individuals shouldn't even be paying into EI – an independent contractor wouldn't qualify to make an EI claim if they lost a contract. As an independent, one doesn't have a job, one has a business, and EI doesn't cover the business itself, only the employees that the business deals with at arm's length. As a business owner, you would be considered non-arms-length, and exempt from EI. Growing your business in the way that you are suggesting is an important enough a step that you should seek professional advice in advance. Find a good accountant that deals with self-employed individuals & small businesses and run all this by him. He should be able to guide you accordingly. Find a lawyer, too. A lawyer can guide you on how to properly subcontract others while protecting you and your business. Finally, be mindful of what it is you agreed to in your contract with your client: Do they expect all services to be performed by you, personally? Even if it wasn't written down who exactly would be performing the services, there may be an assumption it's you. Some negotiation may be in order if you want to use subcontractors.
So your point is that you know a guy that isn't good with money and has made some not great life decisions, thus **ALL** people that work low skilled jobs (even at the minimum wage level) are thus bad with their money and not cut out to own a house? Really... is that your argument?  Correlation is not causation. Just because someone works a low skilled job and is bad with money, life decisions, and shouldn't own a house does not mean that working low skilled jobs are the root of those problems.  &gt;That being said, the initial argument is as bogus as yours. I have a 2 bed 1 bath apartment for rent for $500 right now inside 610 loop in Houston TX. It's 10-15 minutes from downtown.  And rent here in the Seattle area is way higher than all of that. Yes, rent is different where you live. It still doesn't mean people in my area should have to live in a shack because you pay $500 in Houston. Honestly, that should be an incentive for companies to move to Houston to reduce costs due to cost of living difference, which is why companies are leaving California. But if you are here in Seattle, or another city, there should be the expectation that your workers can afford to pay rent somewhere in the area.  Also, just curious, do you pay any of your employees only the minimum wage?
The article makes it seem as though she called the cops because the children were making noise. In my city any sound of play coming from children under the age of 12 is not against the noise ordinance. I'm imagining it's similar in LA, hopefully, and the dumb bitch didn't know any better.
"Never forget there are two kinds of people. Those who believe what they say, and those who do not believe what they say in public.  For example, if my assignment were to prop up the role of the USD as world reserve currency, it would be silly of me not to be fully informed as to any possible threats to it. However, what I say in public would be designed to maintain the role of the USD (assuming that's my mission), not to actually inform others about everything I know (unless it furthers my assignment in some way).  When Hillary says that the Egyptian government is ""stable"" - it's not that she actually believes it's stable, but that her role is to prop up a regime that has close ties to the American military. Calling a faltering regime ""stable"" is merely an attempt to discourage any movements trying to bring it down."
Working in my current sales role, I find myself listening to hours of business podcasts a week while travelling. Some of my favourite podcasts at the moment are:  PNR With This Old Marketing Futureproofing with Kelsey Ramsden The Brutal Truth About Sales &amp; Selling
&gt; they use their size to heavily influence their supply chain and push them to lay off employees and make other cuts  this is good. it results in cheaper products for everyone. it promotes efficiency. we don't need people doing what those people did, with machines and technology. they can now get jobs doing something efficient instead of something unnecessary. should we have people for instance making pipes by hand still when a machine can do it better in seconds. that person can then do something else to bring down prices elsewhere. this is basic economics.   &gt; There is no competition for labour they can pay them whatever they want  really. there are no other places a person with that level of training can work?
&gt;You know there are things that are out of your hands right?  Yes.  &gt;Like the choices your parent's made, choices others make that have impacted you, etc. Can't control everything in life and your nativity to those complexities shows that you've never met or heard of people who are themselves left without many options in their life to just up themselves and find a job that actually pays a living wage.  Sure, your parents play a *significant* role in your life.  Yes. There are things out of your control.  Yes. Nothing here is an epiphany - everyone has to deal with adversity - you are still in control of your own life more than anyone else.  The point is, being a victim isn't going to get you very far in this world.
You really don't have business sense. Or you're not getting it. There's a difference between supporting something that hurts people vs supporting a harmless old tradition that you pay bc the older generation believes in it.   I wish you luck in your business endeavors, but you're not going to be successful if you don't know how to play the game. Don't hurt people or the environment, but learn to be less of a emotionally guided sissy. There are a ton of awards people get just for the feel good sake. Heck even trophies kids get for sports. If there's something you can do that takes the client happy, and it's harmless, go for it.
&gt;What we couldn't give less of shit about and what would get you laughed out of a conference call: the person's life circumstances, their heating bill, their three kids, or anything not strictly related to their role.  You don't give a shit about stressful conditions the employee may be in that strongly affect their ability and/or willingness to perform their role well?  You're an idiot.
Would you work for 50% of a billion? how about 40%? 30%? At what point would you retire and sell the company? Because that is the reality behind the topic in question.  If you used to make 80% of a billion. Then 70%, then 60%, then 50%, then 40%.   At what point do you have enough money and want to retire? At what point do you decide that the net results of your efforts are no longer worth your input? This guys is 70+ been working more than half his life in this company.   At what point do you call it quits and move to the beach on your yacht? He has enough assets to do what he wants for the rest of his life and his employees probably do not, but guess who gets to make the decisions whether it continues or gets sold?
What is your goal? I would, under most circumstances, not recommend the Masters. I did it because I studied engineering in undergrad but wanted to transition to finance right away. The reality is that a good undergrad will give you most of the tools you need for success in a junior finance role. The critical piece is networking with professionals and working in the markets to elevate your stance before graduation. I am not an advocate for a lot of investment in education as the payback is less than most alternatives (IB analyst training, CFA, internships, etc.)

"That is such a rediculous argument. If your ideas and beliefs were as ideologically superior as you claim, you should *want* to have people argue with you. Shutting down the free speech of your opponents does not do anything positive for propelling intellectual debate.  Anti American behavior is burning the flag, something we only see by those who oppose Trump.  Anti American is wanting the federal government to control and distribute everything in favor of a real capitalist financial economy that has little to no government intervention. If a business fails, another one is always there to take its place.   Anti Americans dont mind allowing the politicians from across the sea to interfere and play such a huge role in how we perform politically. That is *very* anti American.  Lifting useless regulations of off small business creation and profitability is American behavior.  Building factories and having companies work and relocate to to the USA is better for the economy, and for the planet. The factories here have to be much more air friendly than a factory in China or India. Win win.  There are many instances not listed here bc im on mobile that are very anti American, and it only comes from those against Trump. So thats why some people get the nickname ""fake American""."
&gt; You cant teach fantasy football.  &gt; I agree that it isn't worth much, but to speak as though its completely worthless is ignorant.    There are people who play daily fantasy football who earn a fortune.       There are people who major in English, and move onto very successful writing careers in many different areas.      Neither area is a very safe career to support a family.  Both are more small % of people making great incomes, and most making nothing.
"Whether or not PayPal itself reports to the credit bureaus, the collector **will**.  That said, you can demand the collector ""validate"" the debt, which if you were scammed could make for an interesting scenario - PayPal *doesn't* normally play the role of a creditor, so the very fact that you ""owe"" them money is an unusual situation in and of itself.  I'm not entirely sure how they would go about validating that debt - They haven't provided you any goods or services, you don't have any form of loan outstanding with them... The legitimacy of the ""debt"" consists **entirely** of them siding with the other party in a he-said-she-said dispute.  I'd be interested to hear what the collector replies with when you demand validation of the debt!"
"&gt; Some private investors in Silicon Valley approached Ayasdi about making money off sports, but Muthu remains nonplussed. ""The thing I'm most interested in is not gambling or predictions or fantasy,"" he told me, ""but in-game strategy and GM-type decisions."" It was the latest example of the brains in sports chasing another kind of fabulous wealth. The wins are their spoils.  Keepin' it real, kid."
I wouldn't be so sure. There are many, many articles and under cover investigations mentioning poor working conditions. That shows to me that it is institutional. As founder / CEO / chairperson, for better or for worse the responsibility is ultimately his.   I wouldn't call him greedy but thrifty, sure. Doesn't he drive a 20 year old Volvo? Good on him - just don't become too thrifty to the point it negatively impacts your employees wellbeing (I'm not saying at all that it is amazons fault that some of their employees sleep in tents outside the factory, but It's the only business in the UK I've heard this happen at. Shows there is *something* going on).
Your question is a moving target. And my answer will be subject to revision. I disagree with the votes to close, as you are asking (imho) what role commodities and specifically oil, play in one's asset allocation. Right? How much may be opinion, but there's a place to ask if.  I'm looking at this chart, and thinking, long term, the real return is zero. The discussion regarding gold has been pretty exhausted. For oil, it's not tough to make the case that it will fluctuate, but long term, there's no compelling reason to believe its price will rise any faster than inflation over the really long term.
JPM is probably the hugest too big to fail alongside being one of the most highly leveraged. Did you see Jamie Dimon testifying before our great politicians earlier this year? I mean if the Federal Government is kissing his ass, what will the State of New York really accomplish? The Bear Stearns collapse was avoided by JPM jumping in and saving the pride of Wall Street. Do you see Barclay's getting sued for things Lehman Brothers did? Barclay's is living the good life in London rigging LIBOR, while JPM, an American institution is being re-regulated. Should the government sue every company that goes out of business for defrauding customers, employees, and all stakeholders? SMH
Speaking as a liberal arts graduate working in a big financial firm: liberal arts graduates tend to have a generalist's perspective that lends itself well to picking up skills on the job, and are often very good at communicating very complex information in a digestible format.  For instance, one of the MAJOR complaints where I work is that there is a higher tendency among employees with STEM backgrounds to be very anti-social when interacting with clients. They are very good at the specific tasks they are trained to do, but absolutely abysmal when it comes to building business relationships, internally and externally.  To put the above in perspective, I consider myself to be a reserved person, but at work I feel like a social butterfly compared to a good chunk of my colleagues. It's very odd.
Bush tax cuts and similarly. We no longer believe that the wealthy have to play by the rules. We perpetuate this notion because too many believe they too will be captains of great wealth.   The wealthy in turn have invested in emerging markets like china or commodities like gold. Basically its being horded by the wealthy and banks.   In a fixed money system like monopoly what happens? Someone wins and gets all the money. With inflation at least they are making more money so that eventually a huge withdrawl of cash from the system is healed. Because Monopoly was meant to be a cautionary tale of oligarchy.
I don't even care if you have a degree in sociology, you should still have become a much better critical thinker than you otherwise would have been and should still be able to work your way up (over time) to a good salary, all the while being able to make better decisions in your every day life.   College pays for itself in many more ways than just your job.
Now that we have made sure that the North Koreans are safe from any external threat and can go about their business peacefully, we don't need to waste any more energy on them.  Lets redirect all our energy toward making sure the Middle east is fully nuclear, that will be good payment for the shemeckles violating sweet white and pure Ivanka night after night while daddy lay hot in sweaty in bed, his frustration small and hard in his hand plotting his revenge.
FAQ on Alibaba Fair Play Fund: We also continue to assist buyers and suppliers in attempting to settle business disputes. In cases where a complaint of fraud against a supplier is substantiated, that supplier is immediately removed and banned from our platform. If the supplier was a paying member, the supplier forfeits their subscription fee. Forfeited fees are the source of our new Fair Play Fund, which aims to help buyers recover some of their financial losses given that they can demonstrate they were defrauded by a supplier using our platform.
Oh Good Lord. Where to begin.  She worked 14 years in security because she has no interest?   Definitely glad you're not in charge of hiring practices. A high school graduate would be more qualified for a computer security job due to  military experience? That's just as irrelevant as music or marine biology. It's a C-Suite administrative role, not a research position.
Games like Blackjack present a house edge that can be whittled down to just 0.05 percent while employing a good strategy.It is better to play games that give you an advantage in the best online casinos in the UK. These include video poker baccarat and blackjack.
Unlikely. They believe they are starting a business, on the path to the American dream. And they can do it from home in their spare time while the kids are asleep. That's how it's sold to them. The reason people play the lottery is for the hope that they will become instantly rich. Different.   Is success in business as delusional as winning the lottery? Maybe. Would be interesting to calculate and compare the expected value of each.
&gt; No one in industry checks what coursework you took they just assume that the BS is more quantitative and impressive.  This is approximately true, but they care about what school you went to. They don't care if it's a BS or BA.  Just for context, are you currently or have you ever been in a front office finance role?
"If you're a good candidate in terms of all the usual metrics then it will really come down to selling yourself to any potential advisers. Remember that in PhD admissions individual professors are really making the admissions decisions.   Also, as you said you're from an econ background.... Unsurprisingly, mathematical finance is going to be pretty ""mathy."" If you haven't had courses in real analysis, differential equations, Fourier analysis, and statistics you may want to brush up on those subjects. I say this because I am doing a PhD minor operations research (coming from a mechanical engineering background) and I have been overwhelmed at times by the level of technical rigor that they take in these courses relative to my ""normal"" engineering math courses. I would have been well served studying some real analysis before taking stochastic calculus, for instance."
No, I felt that's what aweraw was trying to say, but they were not doing a good job of it so I took a crack at it from my point of view. I see where you are coming from too. Really, I suspect if we all sat down and had to write a unified view of the role luck plays in our lives we would be surprised how much we agree. :)
"Chance favors the prepared mind - Einstein   That being said, I liken it to a poker analogy. To win at poker you must play. To play you must already have something to put on the table. If you are betting your entire existence at every hand because you started poor you *can* win but it is far less likely to happen. You will make illogical decisions due to the fear or being destroyed. It's like how walking across a tightrope is easy when it is 6"" above the ground, but not 600 feet above the ground.   Also, in the beggining of life there is a good chance you will flame out or mess up a few times. Rich kids can do this as much as they need to, over and over again, to learn and get their feet under them. Poor kids generally get one chance and if anything goes wrong it's back to the factory to work for several more years to save up money again.   I believe they are calling this growing class of young people on the edge the ""precariat""."

At its best, a HOA provides the same benefits as a condo association -- shared investment in the shared neighborhood resources/environment.  At its worst, a HOA has the same problems as a condo association, potentially creating unreasonable constraints on what you can or can't do with your own property because your decisions might affect the value of someone else's property or demanding shared investment in something you don't consider worthwhile. Basically, if an HOA is active in your neighborhood, (A) make sure you know its history and biases before you buy, and (B) make sure you're active in it, or you may be unpleasantly surprised by its decisions.
"He doesn't care about his employees, he cares about keeping his salary high enough to pay off the house he couldn't afford. Which would be bad enough but then he had the audacity to add  &gt;""people like me who made all the right decisions and invested in themselves are being forced to bail out all the people who didn't. The people that overspent their paychecks suddenly feel entitled to the same luxuries that I earned and sacrificed 42 years of my life for.""  I don't have the words to express how much of a douchebag this guy his. He deserves to have his nuts kicked in."
Role clarity, or lack of it, is especially relevant in joint venture projects, integrated project teams and is most common in collaborative proposal teams. Lack of role clarity is where team members are unsure of their day to day roles and responsibilities, the objectives of the proposals, their level of authority for spending or directing others and the formal reporting structures.
Letting the free market run its course, so the best, most efficient product that's best for consumers will prosper. What an **awesome** idea.  But alas, this is Reddit where they complain about SOPA/PIPA and the NDAA but believe in voting in lawmakers that want to expand the governments role in private enterprise/life.
"I wasn't linking her performance to her gender, I don't think any of these CEO's are failing because they have a menstrual cycle, they are just making poor decisions.  It is impossible to ignore gender when we are constantly hearing about the ""Tech Gap"" and the puff stories about being a female CEO in a male dominated industry. It is entirely relevant."
Can anyone elaborate on her role in the company? Is she really more than a pretty face which helps the company grow revenues and attract a high valuation? I understand she is a co-founder and I'm sure that she holds a significant chunk of equity, which will make her even wealthier in the future following a liquidity event. However, I don't see how an actress with no prior technical or business schools would be helpful beyond the marketing aspect. From what I gather, it's Brian Lee who actually runs the company. Either way, I give this woman props as she has managed to transition to being an entertainer and a businesswoman at the same time.
"Rational in the economics context means making expected utility maximizing decisions with known information. That's it.   See those red berries? You were hungry and rational, so you ate them. Turns out they're poisonous. Now you're dying. Still rational.   Footnote implication: unless you're already doing it, the phrase ""I'd rather be [fishing]"" is necessarily untrue. That you're not, means that you'd rather be doing what you're doing."
