Smart money
Well the talk amongst most my college friends is jobs...they all bitch that its impossible, evenif u get to a 2nd interview (flyed out to NYC) they never get called back, as if its impossible, smart guys saying its too much, too hard, too competitive, and not worth it. 50K a year to start and you gotta wor 10hour days and bust your balls.
I dont want that, i dont think i can work a 10 hour day for only 50K a year, which is about 4.1K a month, damn peanuts....
I want to make smart money, hit 120K, and be enoying life, not earning money but doing so by working 12 hour days, what good is it then to have the best apartment and the best car, if u never in either of them, if u always working, no time to enjoy the spending power of your cash.
I mean i dont even know why im worried its not bloody likely ill be working anytime soon, i still lack a greencard and even if that comes in, i will only interview next year, and though most get rejected i dont think it will be as likely with me, or i guess everyone thinks that way. But still the market looks awful now....
another thing that pisses me off, we have missed out on everything....the internet boom, the real estate market, the computer revolution, all because we were to young. We, is my generation, instead we are stuck in a market where to buy a house you will need a semi miracle, if you want to make money on the stock exchange you better do your damn research and be on top of your game, and even then if you pick a winner, its hard to stop overall pessimism dragging your stock down.
Its not a good time to be a buisness major, finance, economics, its all useful and great, but there is a glut, of overqualifed (at least on paper) applicants, though going to a buisness school i know i wouldnt hire more then about 5 people i know at UM. But no one cares about your MBA or your GPA, they want you to be creative, to have a fine arts degree, to be able to think outside the box....but what good is all that thinking outside the box with a liberal education if you dont know how to make a basic analyis on a project or your economics policys and how they affect you.
A friend said it best "corporate america stinks, its just not worth it" he advocated even moving elsewhere, where your qualifications mean instant job, and a tremendeous salary, naturally nominally its less then even 50K here, but in real terms, parity terms, you live like you are pulling dfown 120K
so here is my goal, make smart money....and do it like i do college, minimum effort to get to my goal....

Lave,
svi misle da su zakasnili na nesto (kompjuteri, real estate itd) ali bitno je da nesto prepoznas prije drugih !!! Grcki bog srece ima cuperak na celu i za srecu ga treba uloviti za taj cuperak, tj. moras ga vidjeti prije jer kada je kraj tebe ili je prosao nema vise. Bog se zove Cairos !!!
Rekao sam ti da frend koji je direktor banke kaze da s tvojom skolom radis godinu dvije u reviziskoj kuci (Cooper Lybrandt itd) i onda mozes u hrvatskoj imati cca 4000 - 5000 $ i zivjeti ko car.
Tata
da tata ali sta ja zelim imati 4000-5000 dollars mjesecno u hrvatskoj....stvari su skupe tamo...kuce kostaju ko ovdje (300,000$ plus)....odjece i kompjutori kostaju isto....jebo ja ovaj globaliziran svjet......sve je skupo svugdje...
ali se zivi opustenije i pije pivo i uziva, sve je globalizirano ali zato se ovdje ipak mozes vise opustiti lijepo i uzivati.
Kuce u hrvatskoj su ipak jeftinije, sada mozes kupiti nesto 10-15 km od Zagreba (centra) za 500$ po kvadratu.
tata
ne bih htio uopce ziviti u hrvatskoj, ljetovati da, ali ziviti nikada....previse korrupcije, i ja zelim raditi, ne ko konj, ali ne bas kako se radi u hrvatskoj (ljeno ;) )
