We have worthwhile PhD and MBA programs in all areas of business administration that are always looking for qualified (bright, able, interested) students (maturity is an asset) with good quantitative skills and familiarity with computers. Your student id can get you access to Big Blue's educational prices (40% off) as well as Apples. Financial aid (limited, I'm sad to say) is available, but the "poor starving graduate student" is no myth. Money in the bank is a definite plus (our program however IS a relative financial bargain compared to, say, Harvard, or even the University of Hartford <if you say that REALLY fast, it sounds almost like Harvard :-)>). --------------------- Disclaimer: The "look and feel" of this message is exclusively MINE!
