Big Boy Basics

[Andalite]

LOL..

ghetto, just to put things into perspective:

I work at one of the top 5 (hint) accounting firms in the world. I'm not in accounting. I'm in Corporate Finance i.e. Valuations which means we oversee/value/manage M&A or business restructuring and IPO deals.

I have a BSc. in Finance.

The job profile which I have is for post-MBA level graduates.

I have a BSc. in Finance. (yes, repeat)

There are guys who have MBAs who want my job.

I'm only doing this job because:
(a) Profile is for MBA level graduates
(b) I need this to get into a top notch MBA program in the US (read: Harvard, Wharton, Kelloggs, etc)

If I get choosy in a country with over 1 billion people of which 65% fall into the age group of 18-35, guess what? I'll be out on my ass.

I have to put in the time so that I can get my MBA.

On another note: you should consider moving out to India....I've met like 3 white dudes from Philadelphia who've been working here for 2-3 years now. They're in the media/Bollywood industry.

Back to topic: I hate working so many hours but the boss I am working with is fucking amazing. I am enjoying my work because of the way he manages the project. Very very good leadership - something I am going to learn a lot from.

however, you are right. Were I older, and if I had more education, I would not stick with this type of job because they barely pay me anything. However, right now I am not worried in the least bit about cash so I don't have to prioritize my life by the money I make at the moment. BUT, like I said...doing my job at any time in your life post 24-25 is not something anybody should look forward too. Luckily, I'm only 22

That's cool amigo. I totally get why you're busting your ass bro. I was just curious as to the reasons why.

You know what? I probably would consider moving to India if I thought I could make a living there. Now I don't have any clue how the girls there respond to white guys from the usa, but I find alot of Indian women to be very beautiful. I definitely don't discriminate.

I have to admit I have a very uneducated and simplistic view of other countries. I have no idea what India is actually like. I do know a few things though.

1. Indian girls? Check.
2. Easy access to lot's of Testosterone/no worries? Check.

That's about all I know. I have no media experience whatsoever. This may sound like an incredibly stupid question, but do they have regular old 2% milk from regular cows? Told ya it was a stupid question?

I'll have to do some research. I entertained the thought of doing some heavy equipment operating overseas, but it was alot harder finding anything legit for that than I had initially thought it would be.

This is today's workout. I went to meet an old friend for lunch and it was a very late lunch so the workout wasn't as per my expectations. I had to choose between Front Squats and my Dips/Pull-ups so I ran with the Front Squats.
