USC- Darla Moore is a great program. I hear George Mason has a really good IMBA program as well.

Yep...USC is the #1 rated MBA school for international business.

I hired a top candidate from there about 9 months ago as an analyst. We just promoted him to be a Product Manager for a global product line that we have.

Biomedical engineering is nothing more than a mechanical engineer who designs medical devices...such as heart valves, artificial joints, etc

No gene splicing nor mad scientist poo involved

Both my brother in law and my sister are PhD in Biomedical Engineering.  My sister job is to work with Japanese companies and make sure drug or equipment authorized for sale in USA.  She works with FDA and other agencies to make it happen.  It pays pretty well.

My brother in law developing metal strings that can stretch million times without breaking.  These strings will be placed inside the heart.

The first thing that popped into my head was an NVOCC like Expeditors or Globe Express Services.

 

These are big companies that handle shipping, air and ocean, brokerage and other services for US companies.  There are a lot of areas there you could effect with your background.  International business, per se, is there business.

 

 

I started with an accounting degree and decided by my junior year in college that I would jump off a bridge if I had to do it my whole life.  I moved directly into management, then purchasing, then started my own company.

 

The one thing I would mention as an old guy is debt.  The less you incur, the more mobility you have.  This is an obvious, but not something many in their twenties adhere to.  You won't find yourself in a position where you cannot move to a more desireable field, especially when they want experience.  That is normally what you have staying in the same, uninspiring job field you are currently in.

When you figure this out, let me know.  My wife is pretty miserable.

 

She graduated undergrad in 2007, then got a job with Pulte Homes. (lol)  She decided that her passion was to become a librarian, so she took night school classes to get a masters in Library Science.

 

2008 happened and Pulte completely closed their doors in charlotte.  Going on unemployment, she was steered to find a job, any job.  She landed in insurance.

 

She finished her masters in 2008, with no library jobs to be found.  We had kids, and suddenly she could also no longer take a paycut to find a different job because finances were so tight.

 

So now she hates me for telling her that she can't take a part time library position in a library to get her foot in the door.  Because we cannot afford it.

 

 

 

I would say look at your finances, and if they allow it, try to find a low-pay position.  That's the only way I think you can compete with kids coming out of school.

 

that really sucks, and it's one of the horror stories that scare me coming out of a grad program (though my circumstance is a little different and my job market should be a little better than many.) has your wife applied to university or community college libraries? if she has any research experience she might be able to find a spot in one

Very cool stuff.

My brother in law us a patent attorney (partner on a DC firm) that specializes in medical devices.

He has a BS in Mechanical Engineering, Masters in Mechanical Engineering, an MBA, and then got his law degree.

Smartest damn person I have ever met.

He worked for Medtronic designing medical devices before law school.

      Lol Atlanta looks to have lost their young edge rusher, has no 1st round pick, a complete mess at QB, a new coaching staff… And we swept them this year. Says what they think of us.

      PFF Best Deep Ball Thrower Award

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I mean, you can only go so far with the propping up. When a guy's numbers are as bad overall as Bryce's you have to try to find specific niches to sell. It's just funny that they're honing in on where he's probably weakest to try to prop him up. Whether it's a pro-Bryce conspiracy or not, it echos my chief complaint about PFF's analysis for years. When your purely statistical analysis badly skews from the eye test of actually watching the games, it should be screaming at you that you need to modify your system not double down on it. PFF is awesome at compiling stats but their grade systems are highly flawed and they never seem to try to improve them.

      Then why is Byce also last in other PFF stats?  The deep ball thrower stat by PFF can simply be flawed vs some conspiracy trying to prop up a QB on a team that a former employee now works for.  Both of these guys were also hired AFTER the Panthers had already drafted Bryce.  Trying to prop him up with a made up stat while he struggled would be a detriment to their own team honestly.
