why hello long time no post

 

yeah, i know. 15 hour days last month are killing me

 

is it over yet? time for a new job?

 

no, im just getting started.
if i play my cards right, i'll have 9 deals go through this month

 

ooooooooooooooo

 

are you still working crazy hours in japan?

 

i'm in hk
and no. i'm unemployed now hehe

 

o yeah, HK...
i wonder how it would be to live there. my friend went there for a week and was blown by how different life was. he was scared to eat anything so his diet consisted of starbucks 24 hours a day.

 

speaking of unemployment, i might to back to finish school this fall. i want to finish school in time to get it all done in under 8 years!

 

im just scared of missing out on the opportunity i have now just go finish school now and get a degree that i wont be able to get a job with. seems like you need a masters to get a decent job now.

 

it's different, but kind of similar to say living in ny (except more asian food around)
there are parts of hk you can get away with completely speaking english (central district) and there are a lot of western foods there...
so it's not that bad.. and yes there are tons of starbucks and pacific coffee company's around

 

ever consider getting a masters then?
btw, what's ur major?

 

or just let the car sit and rot and no tune at all?

 

let me rephrase that. master's isn't everything. you need to calculate opportunity cost of dropping out of the job market for two years vs. earning potential once you've completed the masters.... if the earnings potential far exceeds the opportunity cost, then by all means it's worth it! you could also consider doing executive programs... i.e. e-MBA's. plenty of schools have them... let u work during the day, and go to school on nights and weekends. it's a tough tough program simply because you really end up not having any time for anything other than school and work and even with that sometimes you don't have enough time to sleep...
the other thing is: many people would argue that not only does a masters degree equip you with knowledge, but supposedly with a good network for future jobs, etc., which in turn increases your earning potential. doing an executive program doesn't really fullfill this part of a masters degree... i.e. your opportunity for networking will be significantly limited since everyone is busy and working....
just things to consider

 

NTIA!

you need to get tuned
