To sort of change the wording of what others have said, don't think of learning new languages. Learn to solve new problems. Sometimes the problem is best described in a language you don't already know. In that case learn it. In my case,

Not immediately. I have a year and a half to two years living expenses saved up. I hope to start generating at least some revenue in month 4-5. I won't need funding until I want to "take it to the next level" at which point I'll be an es

The term "startup" varies depending on who you are talking to. To most people, "startup" simply means a new business. Around here, it seems to have a specific meanign that I will not atempt to elaborate on because I would only get it wron

I'm about to do the same thing. I live in a semi-rural area. It has a pretty large tech presense due to a fairly large R&D naval base, but everybody around here is only interested in government contracting, which I am looking to get o

In Maryland it is a requirement to delay enrollment. Everybody born September-December has to wait until the following year. Of course this means people born during the summer, in addition to not being able to bring cupcakes on their birth

Too many. Probably 10 on weekdays, 3 on weekends. I would rather be outside.

I guess each locality has their own standards. In every company I have worked for(in Maryland), insurance started the first of the month following your start date(so between 1 and 30 days.) Not a state law either, because most retail work

If I had to pick a personal favorite(not necessarily best) book of all time, it would be Anathem.

Agree that The Gunslinger is awesome. Just to forewarn... you've already read the best books in the series.

Several times a day, for about 1/2 hour at a time. I take walks to break up the workday. I think about all sorts of things during these walks. My job. Politics. Companies I want to start. The idiotic college down the street from me th

A better phrasing for 1) would be "Produce more than you consume."

The lesson to take from the Fountainhead is to stop looking to other people for validation for your choices. Make the decision for yourself instead of simply doing hat others expect of you. Peter(to Howard Roark): How do you you always dec

I don't mean to be obnoxious, but at the salary you are talking about you are better off trying to get a job as a janitor at the college. It usually comes with free tuition. Local college just had an ad out for janitorial help at 24k per

It was an interesting choice of ages. We had a conversation at work about something like this not too long ago. It ended up boiling down to this, "The difference between an engineer with 5 years experience and an engineer with 10 years ex

My current employer does this. Deductible is 2400/year for a family. Then they give us 200 per month into the HSA and we could contribute more. The insurance companies like this because it gets people to be more cost conscious. It is ch

The way I see it, the health insurance problem is the result of different people having different ideas on the "right" amount of health care and insurance to provide. Example... if somebody has a potentially fatal disease and $25000 worth

The problem with a safety net is that somebody has to weave it. If a person want to live the life of a start-up, that's fine. Go for it. Just don't expect me to pay for your essentials just because you want to spend a couple of years of

I would do it accurately. Sarcasm aside, is this the type of job where you will be working on a number of projects each with their own pot of money that has to be kept separate? Or do they just need a total figure? Either way, pencil and p

Reminds me of something that happened at the small business I used to work for. The business was family owned. This one guy was an employee from the beginning of the company and was a top notch engineer. The company wanted him in on all

Just buy enough life insurance to cover a burial and a year's salary. Your wife is a teacher. She has a professional job and presumably a college degree. She has summer's off so she can get part time work if she needs to. Life insurance

Wow. I have never heard of an employer plan that costs that much per month. At those rates why even bother offering it as a benefit? Not sure your age or where you live but have you looked at buying it yourself on the open market? You c

The health insurance experience varies greatly from one state to the next, so my take is based solely on Maryland. If you are young, single, and have never had any major health problems then there is no problem at all. Your health insuranc

I don't think the math works out well for you. The cost is 12 dollars per essay. If I understand stripe's fees, you will pay 65 cents per transaction. You are paying teachers via paypal, I do not know their fees but it will probably be i

A recommended read would be "Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day". Describes how to make no-knead homemade bread in only about 5 minutes of active work a day. Rising is done in the fridge overnight. Take a portion out of the fridge in the m

You can also use Thousand Island dressing instead of the soy sauce. This dish(with either soy sauce or the thousand island) was a staple of mine when I was first learning to cook.
