  1. Never. Salary requirements get someone thrown out, not experience or education unless again it is a very rudimentary role
  2. Don't spend your money on student loans. Just volunteer for a few years and your loans are paid off. Seriously. Pluss you need a Benzito Volunteer? There's a few internships I've been looking at over summers, and for a PhD it looks like I could find funding from TA, research, fellowship, but for my BS or masters route I figured it was pretty much all coming out of pocket. Then again I don't know that much about the financials of college. ya thats pretty much correct, i haven't heard of anyone getting a masters for free but phd's in the sciences are (and if it isn't, don't go there). i'll be applying for schools this fall/winter My cousin got her Masters for nothing, and is doing the same for her Phd. She got her Bachelors at the U of A and then got into a job in admissions. She pays some crazy amount like $20 per credit hour, and she just received 10k from some sort of grant that she doesn't need to pay back. Rare for the masters degree to be free. your cousin must be pretty fucking smart. Typically a phd student receives free tuition and a stipends of roughly 20k a year. maybe less for a TA or more for a RA. then you have the grants and other shit. My friend's gf did her masters in Industrial Engineering at PSU but had to pay full tuition. I think she tutored for a little more than minimum wage. However, she got a job before graduating and now makes some pretty serious bank. Getting a Masters is somewhat irrelevant, either go all the way or don't bother.In chemistry I know once you get a PhD you've immediately limited job opportunities.Completely untrue.From what I've read from those that hire in the field, and from chemists I know they wouldn't agree.NO company prefers to hire the less capable person for the job. I never said you'd be paid more for the PhD although in reality it is usually the case, but it does NOTHING negative for you getting a position. Not ever. If you want to pull out the exception of the $30k/yr starting blah blah blah,I'd say that isn't what you were talking about. 3M is hiring PhD chemists ALL the time up here.

    Anyone who buys a DD-1 just made the most idiotic purchase in their life. It doesn't do ANYTHING useful. Can't say that benchmarking it against something is any better though. Who cares? The device has no point. Even Steve and his crew couldn't argue that, hell they didn't even try.
  5. What is his pretext? Time for the AAA...

  7. J - didn't mean to be so pointed, but the behavior you were describing is awful. There is a reason that CA took down the world economy. Of course in their case it was even worse as it was based on loans they couldn't pay back, but getting in debt or leveraging away your future for a "fix" now is not a good idea. My searches may influence the curve, don't follow mine please. In reality I should be as conservative as you as in the long run I am only falsely leveraging my retirement.
  8. Funny enough most suck at writing grants too. More than 40% of my business is grant related, it HASN'T been fun to keep the path moving up.

  10. I had a full ride offer to Columbia for Engineering after getting my degree in PHysics.
  11. When the process is done to perfection they will ALWAYS tell you they want to buy. Definitely harder in your industry, but it is always their decision. You just help them make it.
  12. Have you ever read "what every body is saying?" It's about body language. Pretty good book, definitely inline with your work.I have not. The tough part about body language is that sometimes someone crossing their arms and leaning away just has a cold. But I do use the basics just because law of averages works in favor for me if I take it into consideration. Eyes NEVER lie, body language can be not one note though. You can't just looked at crossed arms, but getting them to uncross them and watching them reset will tell you what is happening.
  13. One of the guys I ride dirt bikes with works for Caterpillar doing that. Travels all over the world. Be a rep for that company that makes those crazy production line robot arms. I was working with the Kuka rep yesterday, just sold 2 of his robots. Difficulty is you are in MN. Probably need to think biotech consultative sales. Hell I may join you.
  14. I'd agree with that. Kick ass where you are now so the resume brings you where you need to go. I'm hesitant to recommend my industry as it is inbred and doesn't have a lot of upside, but there are others that need very similar skills.
  15. You can usually get paid to go to school if it is a technical degree
  16. Ah, Spree's ... that was a fad
  17. literal definition is fine. Other details you can ask in person.
  18. He also foils CL on the side
  19. Rock on, nice. My college buddy does that for Amex and their "point" store or whatever the fuck they call it. Good gig
  20. It was your typing that was confusing. Not sure what you mean by, "will it work". Probably far from optimal, but you haven't given us a lot to go on.
  21. Congrats! What foolio's hired you? I mean who scored?
  22. 60-70% of new. Probably closer to 60, maybe less as the kit lens is basically worth nothing.
  23. FWD is the worse propulsion mechanism there is No, this is: .jpg] The dutch are copying us. One tipped over here last week and created quite a ruckus.
  24. Move to North Carolina Almost got to stop by this week. Working with NC, but met them at Langley. Good though as I had some other consulting work to do on the new minivan err space shuttle
