You could try selling software. If you're a developer now, you should be able to understand it and explain it to people. There are other skills involved in sales (it's best to be extroverted and to enjoy talking to people). But you'd be s

I once went to a management seminar (I know, I know, please forgive me) and the only valuable thing I remember from it is: "People don't quit jobs, they quit their boss". Sounds like you're more experienced than me, but FWIW, in your place,

Government could take an active role and redefine zoning laws to allow for agricultural areas in some formerly urban areas. Other cities in Michigan have done something similar: Flint started a program to assist moving residents out of spa

i don't mean to be trolling in the general MS-bashing mood, but this is consistent with a lot of, let's say, grey-area marketing they have done in the past (see internet explorer). And, you can call bing the fake google, but not "fake searc

I have been wondering some of the same questions. It seems like Goldman Sachs is one of the best-positioned large bank in this whole thing. Now they get to eat the cake and have it too? Am I missing something?
