damn elitists

However, I would like to know what you guys think of Technical Schools - specifically the financial courses...

I hired some excellent people from Tech. schools, maybe took them a little longer to achieve higher paying jobs * this was at a big software company).  But their technical education was solid.

Does 1+1 = 2 change from Havard to a local community college?

Yea, it costs more and specifically at Harvard you would debate the different cases in which 1+1 may have equaled something other than 2 and rather such a conclusion is ethical give historical mathematical events.

although i would stay away from the online MBA courses.......seems like a waste of money to me....(although i am not a big fan of MBA anyways since i worked with tons of ivy league MBA's and all it did was add MBA to their credentials....and give them at least $60k in debt) you forget half that junk anyways. i remember having MBA students in my classes in senior level finance classes and the only difference is they got more homework, i thought it so stupid. .......i would rather spend the early years in a mroe entry level job with low pay that gives you good experience/challenges you and ability to advance than sit in another 2years of college for MBA......i mean do you really need an MBA degree to teach you how to manage people or work in a team from professors who dont work in the real world ?

i've never really heard of any finance technical schools that allow you to bypass college. if you want to work in financial analysis/institutional money management/trading, at least in the states you cant even get a job without a 4yr college degree and most of the applicants have MBA's. its pretty much required. unless you go work on the exchanges, many floor traders get started as a ticket runner,backoffice etc. for trading firms for low pay but people i knew who did it even on smaller exchanges like Pacific stock exchange in SanFran when they were young as floor runners said they learned a ton and some became traders...in the investment industry for portfolio/money management the most difficult/widely recognized certification is CFA(www.aimr.org) which is 3year certification process of intense finance and is harder than any college level  finance class or even MBA finance class.....so its good if you like punishing yourself and want to dont have a specific finance degree or MBA, it will make up for it.....for hedge funds different story b'c its all about pedigrees and its what every MBA nowadays applies for is to work at hedge fund or latest fad is LBO firms. i think its easier to get into trading without all the degrees working as a grunt/assistant.....otherwise you could skip all that and figure out your own avenue to freedom, corporate land sucks

Best way to get into trading is simply the grunt assistant work...or even getting into a proprietary trading program at a recognizable bank...

Hoping someone in here can help solve my problem...

Get my laptop all set up...I have a wireless network.  I can open Outlook Express and can send/receive email from my mail server...however I can not access the internet at all...even though my laptop can get my email from my IP service provider.

Any thoughts???

Thanks.

try clicking on the dell help icon to establish a connection, if that does not work you need to go to control panel, network settings and attempt to use the "set-up new connection" function, last resort call dell...hey at least it came early!

Did you try shaking it?

I was going to stomp on...

I did try the dell connect thing...when I did that my wireless card failed.  I am just going to have to call Dell.

Oh well...so much for ease of use.  I just think of the PC/Mac commercials.

I still don't have my wireless working either.

I am going to have to hire somebody to come out and fix it.

$50 for 30 minutes of work....priceless????

I am not sure what the deal is with my wireless...but if I can get to my mail server through my wireless...then something is not right!
