Guest endymion Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 I love you guys! It amuses me to be able to go from talking about Apple-vs-Microsoft to left-vs-right to capitalist-vs-socialist in one place with a bunch of people who actually have lives and go out to night clubs and stuff.

I can only speak for myself, but the BBA in Finance I had was THE key component in my promotion to Vice President of the bank at 25. Yeah, I had been an Asst. Manager of a bank, but that was quite a leap. I needed that sheepskin. Otherwise, they couldn't justify someone of my age in the position.

Guest cutchemist Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 I love you guys! It amuses me to be able to go from talking about Apple-vs-Microsoft to left-vs-right to capitalist-vs-socialist in one place with a bunch of people who actually have lives and go out to night clubs and stuff.right on...not like the clueless shameless mofo's that post on other forumsBachlors in Chemistry specializing in Biochemistry and Health Professions with a minor in math and marine biology from the University of South FloridaThe last three below are what i specalize in professionally. I've worked on everything from GM's first electric car, to Airplanes, Drugs: from protease inhibitors to synthetic hormone replacers, from growing bacteria to working on cadaversA Chemical is a Substance that: An organic chemist turns into a foul odor. An analytical chemist turns into a procedure. A physical chemist turns into a straight line. A biochemist turns into a helix. A chemical engineer turns into a profit.You Might Be a Chemist if...you carry your lab safety goggles around with you at all times, just in case... you don't drink water, you drink H2O. you start disagreeing with movies and TV shows on scientific aspects. you carry a base solution around with you at all times, just in case one of those freak Hydrochloric acid spills happen. you become very agitated when people refer to air as Oxygen, and proceed to list all of the components of air. instead of writing ozone you write O3. you start referring to the smell of nail polish remover as an acetone smell. you no longer ask for Tylenol, you ask for acetaminophen. you actually enjoy going to Chemistry class. you think a mole is a unit of amount, rather than a small furry animal in your lawn. you pronounce unionized as "un-ion-ized", instead of "union-ized". you wash your hands before you go to the bathroom. you start explaining the condensation of water vapour every time your soda can has water drops and people think water is coming out of the can. How chemists do it... Chemists do it reactively.Chemists do it in test tubes.Chemists do it in equilibrium.Chemists do it in the fume hood.Chemists do it in an excited state.Chemists do it periodically on table.Chemists do it organically and inorganically.Electrochemists do it with greater potential. ;DPolymer chemists do it in chains. ;DPharmaceutical chemists do it with drugs. ;DAnalytical chemists do it with precision and accuracy.

Guest JMT Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 bs finance, bs marketing FSU (went to class most of the time)your degree is a sign you have some sort of education, and the capacity to learn. it goes on a resume, and that gets you in the door, its your ethic and personality that keeps you there.

Most successul small business owners were trouble makers in high school, but good at making "connections". A degree doesn't guarantee success, but it does give you a headstart in banking/finance, medicine, and law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
