You are setting yourself up for "CEO" with that degree combo though.
I think then the plates will read M4LAMBO

As long as I continue to lose money I think I'm in good shape to move up to a corporate leadership role. Though I might start looking at porn at work... then I'd have an "in" for an SEC gig.

Very well said. I have a degree in Computer Information Systems with Business Admin. I enjoyed both Finance & Accounting though finance was/still is higher up in my preference list. I was always amazed at how easy the accounting rules made it to distort the numbers whichever way one needed it to be for disclosure purposes. I used to work for one of the largest asset manager firm in the world interacting on a close basis with traders, research analysts & investment bankers (Many of whom not all had egos the size of Texas

). I personally thought that many needed to go back to school to rehash basic finance principles though coming from Ivy League schools. I ended up being right when the company was forced to disclose a $2,000,000,000 loss due to some poor bets in the midst of the crisis.

Some of the stuffs, I found from those guys's workstations hosted on the enterprise storage and backup replicated devices. They would even hide it under several nested folders and name it Mikey Mouse for instance thinking they were too smooth... It was unbelievable

If I ever went back to Accounting it would be as an auditor. That's the only fun gig in Accounting, IMO... trying to figure out how all these other accountants covered all sorts of isht up!

Thx sir, I am glad I did it as it is fully paying off now

Publishing based on EBITDA def helps reduce some of the tweaking with the actual numbers but many still find ways to play the system when backed into a corner

Birdman I'm kind of dissappointed... I thought you were an exotic dancer.

i have a degree in Fuh-Nance as well as Economics. Boring.

birdmanx1 · 06-14-2011, 09:10 AM

Drastically changing economic times hitting my main targeted audience (ladies with deep pockets) have forced me to put my exotic dancing calling aside for now and more on a contractual basis. I now perform at Bingo sessions (the elder can get wild), funerals , circus & churches (no comments)
