You could also sell your house. If you skip a payment or two, the bank will probably start begging you to do a shortsale. In which case you rent for a year or two to fix your credit, and then buy another place.

I'll rephrase for hassy. "investing" is for suckers. the only people making any money in the market are professional traders who aren't at all making decisions based on "trends" or "fundamentals". see: dynamic hedging by nasim taleb--a boo

I think you are over worried about your educational background, and its kind of messing with you. If google or anybody thought your background was crappy, you wouldn't be interviewing there at all.

Everybody hates their first year (or 5) at a top tier investment bank. since everyone is telling you to bail, ill tell you to bite the bullet and quit only after you get your bonus...or even your second one. most people I know take jobs at

Nah, I don't think she (or you) should be required to be interested in your job. I sometimes try to explain things to my girlfriend to see if I actually understand them. If I can make her understand the concept--then I feel like I know what
