. said:How will you take advantage of it?

Look, I understand the appeal of going to school and taking classes without the pressure of working, or paying bills, or having any major responsibilities. But, what is the endgame for all of this schooling?

How will you apply your schooling in the real world? Which employers are you in contact with that are interested in hiring you once you graduate? How do you explain the large gaps in employment on your resume? How would you be more appealing to an employer when compared to someone who is experienced and has been out of work for only 3 months?

At the very minimum, you should be in an internship program even if it's only on weekends or is only a few hours a week.



But you aren't aware of the variables in my life nor are you aware of the cognitive processes behind my decisions.

I am not looking for a "regular" job upon graduation.

That's for you and James.

. said:This is the bullshit they teach you at UNR?



Nope. It is my opinion. I am free to have mine and you are free to have yours.

What they teach there...in this class for example....are the models and some of the math that goes into making these models. You are free to work on projects that utilize these models.

I worked on a project last summer that was an utter failure because I was unable get the right variables for the equation. I was getting close. I was researching how economic indicators affected Obama's approval ratings. In general, changes in employment and personal income had the largest impact.

Because some of the data was quarterly rather than monthly I tried using polynomial interpolation to change the quarterly data but couldn't get STATA to do it right. So I had to change the monthly data into quarterly data. As a result there were fewer observations.

This type of math gives you insight into which variables affect the dependent variable.

You'll never get a straight perfect answer but you'll be in the ballpark.

And if you are a Republican running against Obama, you probably should advertise nothing but his failed promises to create jobs. See? Other variables really don't matter as much, I discovered.

Archivist said:Yeah, guess the bank will just forgive the loan on the house because, well, you went to UNR and all.

:lol:



The student loan bubble is going to burst and they are going to forgive a large portion of most of it. They don't have a choice.

Even then, paying a chunk of change for a sizeable student loan is the price to pay to attempt to be competitive.

It is a risk, certainly, and getting back into "work" takes a form of 21st century personal branding.

Besides, you racked up nearly $25k in student loan debt and never completed your degree. Right? Right.

Hypercapitalism is going the way of Marxism.



It's always useful. Nearly every country releases economic indicators, for instance. It gives you a set of tools to figure out what variables might affect others. It can give you an investing edge.

You don't need to use these models for economics either. They are useful for many other things. Essentially they are a set of conceptual, rather than analytical, differential equations. Each coefficient is a partial derivative.

You can use this stuff for forecasting. It doesn't mean that you will be very accurate. You just need to be in the ballpark.

You're not independent and free from the safe haven that's been given to you by your coddling parents. You're not making your own choices as an adult because you do not bear the responsibilities of an adult.

Until you break free from the home nest, you can never make truly independent decisions.



I was a web developer for a few years. Insurance salesman. etc. I've been around the block.

I have an opportunity to throw everything I have into interesting classes.

The safe haven is recent and temporary.

It is an opportunity and I will take advantage of it.

I can afford to take these risks because I am not married and have not made children with multiple women like you have. Further, I can take interesting classes because I am more or less already done with the MBA. That part was easy.

My parents will buy me a house soon and that means that I won't have a mortgage.

Being a student isn't in any way equal to holding down a job and doing real work.



In the real world, people make the same choices as everyone else and wind up in similar positions in life as everyone else.

"Real work" is based on perception. James barely survives because he has no skills nor a degree. It'll be like that until he finally is approved for disability (SSI).

I'll choose my own route through life and do what I want.

Uh huh.

Berkeley is largely a PhD granting institution and if anyone gets a master's there it is because he or she dropped out of the PhD program.

I bet StudSupreme does not have a degree.

. said:is it true Obama refuses to release his college transcripts?
Why would he do this?



Because they stink and he should never have been admitted to Harvard. At best he could match Perry. And Perry, although obviously academically a moron, took harder than average courses.

Obama likely took cake shit and likely eeked out a 2.8 or something.

Which leaves one to wonder whose cock he sucked to get into Harvard. You know he had to have had low GPA and LSAT scores. Yet he got into Harvard. Some liberal mentally ill yahoo must have pulled some paladium strings or something.
