No thanks. I like him more than I like fags like you op.

Why doesn't someone tell them to clean their filthy vaginas.

Yuck.

Sounds like a good reason to put women in HR.

Its the women who are making these statements. You are self-defeating.

A law degree and law licence are really only useful in the country that issued them.

If you want to practice in the U.S., for example, any foreign law licence is irrelevant and does not authorize you to act as an attorney in any state. You would still need to pass the relevant state bar exam. Even before that, your academic credentials would be scrutinized to determine if you are qualified to sit for the bar. Unless your degree is from The United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, or Israel, there's a decent chance your degree is completely worthless here.

By the way, International Law courses don't teach you the laws of other countries or how to practice as an "international lawyer" (there is no such thing). International Law teaches you how the laws of other nations interact and intersect with the laws of your own country for purposes of resolving conflicts in your own country.

That's too bad.
>If you want to practice in the US
Well, I did say that I wasn't set on becoming an attorney and working at a law firm specifically, and that I assumed a law degree would be versatile enough for a career in diplomacy or consulting (that's an example, I'm not dead-set on anything in particular).

The main advantage a law degree from a top school offers is a wide range of prospective careers and great versatility, or at least that's what I assumed and was told. Given that I don't know what exactly I'd like to do but that I would like to work abroad, it seemed like a good choice.
Am I wrong?

I won't say that having a foreign law degree would have no value in the U.S. business or diplomatic spheres, but I wouldn't put much value in it either. Since you can't practice law in the U.S. without a U.S. law licence, you wouldn't be permitted to give your U.S. employer or clients any legal advice about issues in your home country. At best, you could help issue-spot potential legal trouble areas, although your lack of practical legal experience in your home country would severely impair your usefulness in this context.

>The main advantage a law degree from a top school offers is a wide range of prospective careers and great versatility
In your home country, yes. But not elsewhere. Having a foreign law degree would certainly make you a more attractive candidate than someone equally qualified but without such credentials, but whether such an advantage is worth the 3-4 years you spent getting that degree is debateable.

Bottom line: if you'd rather work in the U.S. or Canada, then why wouldn't you aim for a law degree in the U.S. or Canada? Spending years on a degree in your home country that you don't plan to use doesn't strike me as productive.

Depends on your skill, what's big in your country and what kind of job you want. Software engineers make a fuckload and live comfy here in Australia.

F - no
A - probably
N - for the foreseeable future
G - yeah

Everything is getting killed this week. Apart from maybe some gold mining stocks etc.

There will be a big dump, it happens like clockwork. People suddenly realise it ain't getting better and decide to get off mr calciums wild ryde

Boss or owner?

If I were you I'd start as a freelancer with all the risks and responsibilities involved. And then hire a second person to aid you and give him a higher salary than you.

They misspelled South America. Africa's boom never began.

Seems like their growth is being stifled by trade agreements which are agreed by governments. If it was a free market they wouldn't have this problem.

Beginning of middle school, when I figured that engineering was math + money + helping build the foundation of modern civilization

I've wanted to be an actor ever since I was 16, but that doesn't pay bills unless you get good roles and you need connections for that. I just turned 18 so I'm going to be realistic and hopefully get a good job from a business major but take acting classes on the side so I can at least do it as a hobby.

you just need to suck a few dicks.

OP here (sorry for the ID change.) I work at the NSA and use data mining and social engineering techniques to screen online forums for suspected dissidents.

Analytics, mostly SQL/R/python

Self taught, I came from a science based degree, found it quite easy to pick up, been doing it 3 years now.

Live in the North UK, so pay not huge, about £45k a year or so ($65kish), work for an IT consultancy.

Im considering Data Science, been studying R/Python and i come from an economics background, but i cant decide what will be more profitable, pursuing a masters on data science or one in finance/CFA. From what i understand you could very well apply data science to finance, specially machine learning and so on right?

Obama saved the shittiest part of the economy and left the rest to fend for itself. His economic gains will mostly be lost in another downturn because investment toward expanding industries just hasn't materialized. Instead we had state credit creation for insolvent investment wings of banks that would have in any other decade been cut loose. As far as him knowing what he's doing, from the statements he made it does sound like he knows that he's only strengthening the finance sector and works with them to get their goals met. He appointed a guy who said his qualification for being a regulator is that he, "Has never been a regulator", and then let him systematically change the country so that his buds at Goldman Sachs could make a killing.

Admittedly most of his energy for radical change got eaten up just getting the incredibly compromised healthcare reforms through and he didn't have much clout left over to do anything else. I don't think his foreign policy was any different than George Bush though, and his attempts to keep the cold war 2 going are pretty disgusting.

Overall he was just like Clinton 1 and very similar to Bush in that he favored the powerful rich and kept them happy at the expense of the rest of the population. You're right that he didn't have no idea what he was doing, most of his supporters had no fucking clue what he was up to though.

Yes. Only managed to lose 60% of my portfolio since june. Have learned from it tho. Slightly less retarded now

>>1081667
jesus christ dude, were you trading etfs? What were you doing to lose that much!?

He probably went 3x long oil haha

I'm suspicious of a bodybuilder with spiderweb tattoos myself.

Guy talks too much for me to watch the whole video, there a specific point you want our opinion on?

>>1081653
tl;dr

>>1081653

No, doing 8 scoops is not a legitimate business plan.

Base it off fresh water and agriculture being ass they are useful necessities for human life.

Labor theory of value is a joke. The fact that you spent 10,000 hours building a statue of a penis does not make it inherently valuable.

The world currency is the dollar.

That's about it. With a turnkey property, you are most likely going to pay at the market or above if there is already a tenant in place. PM companies are going to charge you a ton of money for little return. You can hire out a contractor to make any repairs necessary.

My advice is to buy in the same area you live and manage it on your own. Have an attorney/ real estate agent who knows their stuff help you draft up a lease and self manage the property.

Thanks. I've got to do more thinking, because there are a couple properties around here that I'll probably be able to fill with the gas/oil swell, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get quality tenants.

Gas/oil people prefer cheaper places they can fuck up.

Thank you for responding, comrade.

>excuses

>>1081645
Not excuses as much friend, just the harsh realisation that people who make it often only had that opportunity because their parents put in a lot of hard work and then diligent saving/investing to set up their descendants, and that might be the best I'm likely to achieve myself.

>>1081641

my face when people get caught up in assuming that to be 'really well off' you have to have a lot of money.

It's very easy to get to a position where you can care for yourself for the rest of your life without worrying about anything, as soon as you get away from the silly idea that you need to be ridiculously rich to do so.

Obsession with status over securing oneself financially is the downfall of most lower middle class.
