Well.... At some point demographics and incomes/assets must come into play .... My numbers dont support the hypothesis that retirees will support the current price levels we have seen in historically popular retirement areas ...... In california in particular, there are not enough retirees to...

So how do "these places" historically compare to now ?

In the 1980's I was working for the US government and worked with many native Chinese scientists. They were quite frank and open about Chinas plans, and how the country would develop over the next 20 years. When I discussed these topics with US government leaders they disregarded the threat...

Well, I certainly hope you are right. However my concern is the extreme disconnect that has occured between the cost of housing and wages and compensation in some geographic areas. There is no way easy way to fix this problem: the only logical solution is that prices will re-equilibrate once...

Well .... I really hope that things dont go where I think they are headed ..... I love california and would never wish anything bad on my friends or the state ..... but at the same time my gut has been telling me for about two years - kind of like Bob Brights indicator of a bad trade - that real...

I really dont have any more time to debate your endless diatribe ..... and if you are worried about someone impuning your credentials on ET then in my opinion you have no credentials. Anyone that hangs here and is investing all this time talking up their background and giving - in my opinion...

All I was pointing out is that if you have a good career then leaving it to pursue an MBA which in cost will be more than 300K would be a very unwise decision - although many many people will try to sell you otherwise. The only arrogance I perceive is your insistance that the mere possession...

Whether they are satisfied is not my concern: I'm not selling anything but apparently you are. Now that I know who you are I definitely know who not to fund ... based upon your viewpoints. I've never heard of you or your firm and really could care less. Each person needs to decide how far...

LOL. Neither do you. Good luck in getting your degree ...

Yes, many people have MBA's - Many do not. My point is that if your are footing the bill, paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to school when you already have a viable career is extremely questionable ... of course people that contemplate an MBA are often those that have no career and...

On the first point the issue isn't your pedigree .... Its the dollars you paid for your knowledge - if you needed to pay at all. If you truly think that the knowledge in an MBA from Stanford or anywhere else is worth 300K then by all means pay it - Stanford is waiting eagerly for your money...

I hate to burst your bubble ... but .... there a lot of underemployed/unemployed Stanford MBA and other grads around the valley right now ..... a whole bunch that are not making 500K per year (or anything close). I met and dealt with many of these people as an advisor on various IPO's and...

Look, the reality is companies dont hire people just because they have an MBA or PhD. They will hire you with either of those credentials provided that you have some hard experience that shows success - beyond your PhD thesis unless it changes the world and if on an MBA track then hard business...

VC firms want to maximize their portfolio investments - same as everybody. The trick in dealing with these people is to have a win win out of the gate: that is your business plan - and business - clearly make money and your plan shows a reasonable path to growth. If you have a business that...

Your arguments clearly illustrate all that you have learned ......

You have no idea what you are talking about ... although you are amusing. My advice: try actually doing the VC rounds after a few years of significant experience....... You have clearly never attempted nor succeeded at dealing with venture capital firms .....

Haas is a great school and is one of my favorite places to recruit.......

...and if you start looking at the bagkgrounds and founders of a whole bunch of other companies you will see that they are not computer sci grads from Stanford ....... What percentage of the US GDP do these three companies represent ?

No argument means post a silly attack. I think the level of your post is a good indicator of the quality of your on the job output.

False. Put 100K into a startup company and make it work over 2-3 years time and in a few years you could be well off if you know what you are doing...... If you cant do this or dont have a clue how to do this you can either go into debt or spend a lot of cash onm an MBA or study on your own for...
