Quote from Random.Capital:
It's a little disturbing that an MBA appears unable to do a simple cost-benefit analysis on his own situation.
I would certainly be hesitant about bringing this kind of attitude into my company.
I case you have not noticed we are still defining "costs" and "benefits". That is the whole science of accounting and real economics.
Welcome on board.

Really?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Cuba ::
"The US State Department tries to dismiss the quality of Cuban education by claiming that Cuba has been among the most literate countries in Latin America since well before the Castro revolution[31]. A UNESCO study showed, however, that the third and fourth graders in Cuba held the highest level of achievement in mathematics and language skills compared to other Latin American countries.[32]"
Cubans also built an excellent health system. Is it also available only to party elite?
Pres Obama promised to end that silly US blockade of Cuba but he did not - so we cannot go to the meetings organized in Cuba etc.

"The Helms-Burton Act has been the target of criticism from Canadian and European governments in particular, who resent the extraterritorial pretensions of a piece of legislation aimed at punishing non-U.S. corporations and non-U.S. investors who have economic interests in Cuba. In the Canadian House of Commons, Helms-Burton was mocked by the introduction of the Godfrey-Milliken Bill, which called for the return of property of United Empire Loyalists seized by the American government as a result of the American Revolution (the bill never became law). Furthermore, the European Parliament in 1996 passed a law making it illegal for EU citizens to obey the Helms-Burton act."
On the other hand, one should remember that there is little outpost of a free world in Cuba: Guantanamo.
If you kindly pay for my ticket and yours I will take u to Cuba and show you everything.
I just wonder.........if Cuba is much of a paradise why do 2 million Cubans live abroad, if Cuba is a free country why do Cubans leave in rafts even with babies.
You do the math please.

Your credit report can affect employment. Many employers do credit checks.

If you can't pay for the costs, the benefits are irrelevant.
I re-iterate my position - *I* would not hire you.
In all sincerity -- best of luck, hope it works out for you.
You have $100k in school loan debt? I'm having a tough time understanding how this is possible assuming you attended a state school, especially in the southeast where tuition rates are reasonable.
I have a friend who attended a state university in Florida and didn't even work part-time while in college. He has a masters (in accounting) and only $30k in school loan debt, which is quite manageable. You should have pursued a masters in accounting rather than an MBA. Now that you're in this situation, I don't suggest you pursue another degree. You're better off earning accounting credits through LSU's undergrad accounting certificate program (http://is.lsu.edu/ACCTCertificateProg.asp?nid=103&Level=CO&Online=1)
Total tuition is about $2k and the courses are completed through correspondence. They're fully AACSB accredited and include most of the courses required to sit for the CPA exam in several states.
Note, you don't need an accounting degree to become a CPA. You only need the accounting credits.

That's is possible, trust me. I know people like your friend, but I know even more people who dont have a degree and try to make a loser of guys like me.
Thank you for your advices. I am doing the credits to sit for the CPA. In the long run I will have two masters degree plus the CPA license. That would make me a HUGE asset to be a CFO.
One more time thank you.
