all i can say is that i better be getting a nice paying job after all this schooling. Seems like school doent get you places anymore. I hear so many people dropping out and getting nice jobs through who they know....while the rest of us slave our butts off. Im glad cause my program guarantees a placement. Miguel where are you g oing after your studies? where do you wanna be in 5 years?




i work fulltime as it is.. doing the masters thing part time.. when i'm 29 or 30 i will probably move to the states for MBA school and then cash in on the work experience and contacts in the field to do consulting on my own (well, with some other people..)

so within 5 or 6 years i hope to not have to work so much and just enjoy life instead.. and i will buy a beach house in peru and spend winters there

anyway education works for some people, and doesn't for others. i don't necessarily think having an education is necessary for success, there are many recipes.. but definitely in my case the education has helped (and keeps helping me) get ahead

Well, boo-f*ckin'-hoo... so you're here alone, no family, etc. The more reason why you should do things for yourself and try to get ahead in life. It's not that easy once you have a family, and yet, it's still doable.

yeap, Im going back too. After 2 years of finding myself and enjoying what life's gotta give, I realized that we are not spoon fed...........life is what you make it. Im doing a post grad in HR management to be a certified HR professional. Watch out everyone, i'll be manager of the hiring and firing squad! J/K. Hey GOD, you were gonna go to Law School? If it wasn't so many years of schooling and so much money, I would so be going. I love the challenges. Do any of you watch LAW and Order: SVU?? Thats my show right there.



babes, on the other hand law school is 3 years and time flies.. they give out loans for law school easily too...

but hey postgrad certifications are very worthwhile

Did you know that Agatha Christie started writing when she was 65 years old? I never see age as an excuse. I can give you countless examples of people who have gotten ahead when they thought life was over for them. And I do think that you have the makings of a good lawyer, so I'd say, go for it.




My mother for example after Breast Cancer, Cervix Cancer , 5 kids, she finished OB at 45-47 yrs old...I know I know

I don't think you know .... but I'm here in Canada on my Own..no family...at all.....
