    Academia vs. private sector jobs after a PhD v. remind me why the real world sucks

    Working on my PhD right now, ABD stage.. Doing well enough to where I think I will have a decent, well-paying tenture-track job once I am done, and the only question is whether it will be a top or average school. Still, every once in a while, I wonder if I am getting sick of the politics, being...

    What percentage of your gross/net income should be invested?

    Invested as in total portfolio - including building up cash reserves, long and short term investments, etc., not just retirement accounts. I remember reading about someone who saved/invested about a 3rd of the gross, and I can actually see that if you're making decent money and aren't in full...

    Carpal Tunnel Experiences?

    Ugh, all of a sudden, discomfort and symptoms associated with CT. Never happened before, although I did have some trouble here and there with numbness or elbow/shoulder damage. But never quite like this. Lucky enough to have a company doc that deals with this all the time, so will visit today...

    Going industry vs. IB/MC/etc

    Thoughts? I feel like my career options are starting to look fuzzy where I am right now, and I have this opportunity to go in with a huge, very-well known company. Nothing as sexy as models and bottles lifestyle of bankers/consultants/etc, but an interesting opportunity to be a part of a brand...

    Existential/midlife crisis again... v.FUUUUUUUU

    I'm getting tired of being a business douchebag again... Maybe it's just this day. I am in a transitional period in my life right now, where I am going to have to choose between several options when it comes to career/lifestyle/etc. None of the options are going to be particularly bad. Some...

    If I knew when I was 20 what I know now....

    Seriously. If you could go back in time to when you were 20, and tell yourself only three brief pieces of advices (1 brief sentence each), what would they be? No cheating - you can't tell yourself to buy apple or short bear or whatever else. K?

    Seriously considering going back for a PhD... (Update: and now it's in motion)

    Good/bad idea? I love school, research, etc., and my opportunity costs are relatively low right now (well, sort of, or manageable) one of a couple specific biz fields or econ. (Originally posted in 2010) *************March 2012 UPDATE******* Can't believe it's been over 1.5 years since I've...

    Light duty motorcycle boots...

    What are the options out there? Looking for a tough black pair. Nothing too fancy since they will get banged up. Up to $200... Already have a pair of real motorcycle boots I use for serious stuff, this is more for when I'm scooting around running errands and keep it relaxed. I am thinking Red...

    Frye Jayden Chelsea or Frye Jeffrey Chelsea?

    Basically looking for a slimmer black chelsea boot. The only real difference is that jayden is taller and has a harness, and the only black jeffrey I can find is black but distressed (doesn't matter that much to me) Distressed doesn't bother me that much, and I am sure that I can find either one...

    Lets talk about COFFEE

    What do you guys drink and like? How do you make it and take it? Drinking some Sumatra right now, probably 3 tablespoons to a cup so it's nice and thick. Black, no sugar or milk. I grind my own beans (coarse) and use a french press.

    I love throwing crap out..

    It's incredibly satisfying to me to throw out useless crap that's been accumulating in the house. I love to just grab a contractor garbage bag and throw out pretty much anything I don't need - from some magazines that have been accumulating to just misc junk I don't need around. It's only...

    How many potential life-long friends do you have?

    You know, the ones that you can see yourself hanging out with when you are 60+. People you know you would be talking to at least once a week or two even if you are thousands of miles apart and have your own life going on?
