Re: Educashun
Sufficient maturity or working age ?!
It does remind me of a young Canadian lad (24?) I met on a plane a few years ago, off to do an MBA in Manchester with an expectation of walking in to a $250K job on graduation. Although if he played his cards right, he's probably on at least that now.

Re: Educashun
I wouldn't expect to walk into something as big as that, although it would be absolutely lovely. 
But I don't like the idea of graduating into $40,000. That sounds like something that would suck.
BUT my goal is to make it up to a salary such as $250k. What profession was the lad doing an MBA for?

Re: Educashun
$250k is achieveable if you have a degree, a MBA and years of experience in a high paying field, but rather than put yourself through all that just for a flash car, wouldn't it be better to do a job you love for less?

Re: Educashun
What do you actually want to do though and could you achieve that kind of salary in that type of job?

Back in our day, we had to figure out machine code in decimal and poke it in place with special pokey things.

Re: Educashun
I'm alright at maths and algebra, I just don't like it. So I wouldn't rule it out because i'm capable of it. I just don't quite enjoy the process of it, so I automate what I can, when I can.

Re: Educashun
I did mention that I don't know my multiplication tables. That doesn't mean i'm not able to pass an algebra class. It just means when it comes to the part where I multiply or divide, I use a calculator, like everyone else is allowed to do.

Re: Educashun
Might be any idea to keep that a bit silent if you go to any high powered job interviews on graduation.
