What exactly is your avatar now? It looks like a fat dude getting eaten by a polar bear.

German woman.

That is a description of the victim, not the perpetrator.

Why did you need the extra .5?

$6000 for 4-years of college at a state university is a bargain AND the money was in government-subsidized loans

Work me through the thought process here.

Finance degree ----> ????? ----> Marines --> ???????????

What five-letter curse-word did you insult me with? a woman's vagina? Why would you do that? Why does everyone just want to insult me for no reason?

I called you a bitch. It was 'cause you did what they said, then you decided to sign up for the Marines so you could perpetually be somebody's bitch. Just an observation.

Finance degree ---> WORLD FINANCIAL MELTDOWN!!!! ---> Marines ---> MBA and/or JD

Also, working for the corporate man sucks... I want to work for Uncle Sam! (and kill bad guys) Corporate men are more competent. And easier to manipulate.

Asher, why don't YOU?!

To be honest, I'm really considering going Reserves and going to grad school sooner (even if I get deployed, I would be able to go to grad school before I'm 30 this way). This would be contingent on how I do when I take the GMAT though. If I pull better than a 720 or so, I'll take the LSAT and if I get over a 170 on that, well the world should be my oyster so then I'll go Reserves. If neither of that happens, active duty for me.

Though I would worry about how business schools would look at my lack of work experience. Being an officer should help but if I'm a Reservist, I wouldn't have much experience as a platoon commander or anything; just training.

I'm sure some jerk will come in here and laugh at the prospect of me getting a 720 GMAT or 170 LSAT but whatever. I'm not saying it will happen. I'll study hard and do my best and see what I get.

I won't laugh. Those are not difficult scores to achieve.

It's still 95th percentile... but everything I've seen of the verbal section of the GMAT is a joke; the math though... I've always been bad at math

The other thing is I really want to study hard but I'm not sure how to. I never really had to study in college. I hear about people putting in 2 hours of study every single day for weeks for these tests but I can't imagine needing that much time. I guess I could just take different practice tests over and over again.

Will have to learn math first though Data sufficiency will kill me.

Just work in professions where it's acceptable to bill the client for the study time. You just need to call it "research" or "consultation."

Kuci, when you talk about CVA liability you have to bear risk preferences into account. If it's a widely-held public company, shareholders can diversify away some of the risk. However, employees have non-diversifiable specific exposure to the company. The higher up they are, the more their fortunes are dependent on the company doing well.

Remember that the benefit you're talking about them taking is not particularly large. It only comes into play in the event of a catastrophe.
