I probably would not go to college again and would just study on my own or take shorter programs (ie. 2-year degree) If I did go again, this is what I would change: While in college, after the first year, I spent more of my time working on

I worked at a movie theatre during high school. On initiation day, as we were viewing the large stacks of popcorn kernels, my manager said the actual cost of a bag of popcorn is around 5 cents.

Off the top of my head, I believe before Margaret Thatcher took office in Britain, taxes reached 99% at the top level which stagnated the economy. There are other periods I have read about but can't remember the specifics at the moment.

I paid off $35k worth of student loan debt within 3 years of graduating. While I was in debt, earning more to pay it off was a great motivator. Now that I'm debt free and have my basic living costs covered without worry, more money just d

I don't quite believe that. Look at periods of history where high taxes on wealth have led to a drastic decrease in entrepreneurship activity. I think the dream of becoming wealthy is what does drive people initially, however, (not throug

Geez man, I've only bought one Apple product in my life but this is a once in a lifetime event. Come back in a few days if you don't want to read about him.

For others interested, I paid one month key-money, no deposit and half a month to the rental agent. I probably could have negotiated more but was eager to move in quickly. After getting my first gas bill the last payment on the account for

This is an important point especially if just wanting to stay short-term. Furnished places for rent are extremely rare. Pretty much the only chance for that is if you go through an agency which targets foreigners and you will pay through

The best advice I have received about pricing: Price your service so that you would not regret it either way. Before giving a price I usually think of how I will feel if I don't get the job and how I will feel if I get it. If I would be co
