12 for 12

[Sea Dangles]

My wife's brother has just gotten word from his last school he applied to.Applications were sent to 12 schools and they were all accepted. He will be moving to Philly for the next four years starting this fall to attend the Wharton school of businees at U PENN.Hard work does pay off,what a future he has.

Yea, the recession has hit colleges really hard. Most have had to lower their standards way below normal to get enrollment.

Oh wait, the Wharton School of Business is pretty good

Good school. My niece is asst director of admissions at Wharton.

Stonehill has been packed this week with potential attendees and their families.
No neanderthals or cave men were sighted though. So the standards can't be too low

[Slipknot]

congrats to your brother in law

More like a son,going to fathers weekendat his frat tomorrow.I am proud of him and he sets a great example for my children. I will be taking my oldest boy with me to see what hard work yields.His blueprint is hard to argue with.

[Rockport24]

Sounds like he won't have any issue paying off those student loans! Also sounds like he has some great opportunities there, congrats to him!

I loved San Francisco when I was stationed out there, Great Food, Great Music, Can't beat the Summer Weather out there......loved it

Ya getting beat to hell, then probably getting a huge bonus when the profits go through the roof! Although I know they didn't meet their earning targets recently and took a hit in the markets..

still working minimum hourly wage if you divide the bonus by all the hours worked. been there done that with sales support.

Oracle deal is 3 months training in SF with housing. After that it would be SF,Boston or Austin;not a bad choice among the three but I think a young guy in Austin is who I would prefer to visit. BBQ and live music! SF would be too expensive for a few years and we have seen Boston plenty.He is not sure he is looking for a sales job either.
Front runner is a marketing job with a company called Microstrategy.It is in Tysons Corner VA which is ouside of DC I guess. I noticed what you did Bill when we went to DC last fall.The Georgetown area was on fire with young,attractive girlies.

[HugeDinghy]

Austin is freaking awesome

[RIJIMMY]

austin is a great city, plus he wont have to pay any state taxes. Some great bass fishing in the lakes @ there if he is interested

Dangles - in San Francisco, across the bay in Oakland, believe it or not is some of the best BBQ in the country. Large african american population from the south moved there in the 40s to support thr war shop building effort. They took their BBQ customs with them. great blues and BBQ in oakland. SF also has an amazing music scene. More famous bands come from there than anywhere else in the country.

[striperman36]

Austin is HOT!! I'll be there first week in May for business, it's amazing how many young people are based there.

Microstrategy is a BI toolset provider, the big spoiler in that space right now is Tableau, awesome tool.

Big Data is all over right now and if he hops on that bus he'll be gtg for a while,
Microstrategy, Oracle are the same play probably. Business Objects is another in the same space.

Good luck to him, he'll do very, very well regardless

[HugeDinghy]

been to austin a handful of times for work...couldnt imagine being a young man fresh out of college, with a good job...living there...be like shooting fish in a barrel.

[Raider Ronnie]

Congrats to him

[justplugit]

That is terrific news.
Thee best in the country, his future is made.
