With Jobs Scant, MBAs Consider Startups

Landing a banking or consulting job used to be the main reason for going to B-school. These days, it's just as likely to be launching a business

Business schools have quietly become the back door to starting your own business. Once considered merely the hallway to a high-salaried career with an investment banking or consulting firm, business schools are now drawing attention from those tinkering in their garages and hoping to find the next big thing. Through virtual and traditional business incubators, business schools are helping students launch startups with everything from fund-raising and networking to finding office space and interns.

Veterans Get Lip Service, Bankers Get Billions

shocking juxtaposition between the lucky Wall Streeters and the unlucky soldiers.

We all know at this point that our banking system is being used as an unregulated bonus-seeking mechanism for bankers, now underwritten by taxpayers with $23.7 trillion worth of national wealth.

Bankers lent pretend money to home buyers to award themselves actual money in bonuses -- making home prices balloon and, in the process, bankrupting America's treasury, currency, the states, and many of its citizens.

I have been most surprised by the blatant disregard that our politicians and even some journalists have shown for the most fundamental American notion of fairness. I don't think handing taxpayer trillions to some of the least worthy individuals is something that our country will stand for, regardless of what the current incumbents think.

If we must resort to handouts to save our country, let's at least put them in the hands of the most deserving.

Goldman and Citibank get swine flu vaccine

Even as a feeding frenzy surrounds the H1N1 swine flu vaccine, New Yorkers were confronted with the news that Wall Street banking firms Goldman Sachs and Citibank were given 200 doses of swine flu vaccine—the same quantity given to Lenox Hill Hospital.

Goldman and Citibank were not the only corporations given doses of the vaccine, and any companies receiving the vaccine had to have their own medical personnel in place. Also, the understanding was that the vaccinations would be given only to employees in the highest-risk groups, which includes pregnant women, children, and those with chronic diseases such as asthma.

Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is widely credited with the apparent gaffe, sources say the CDC gave the vaccine doses to the state, which dispensed them to hospitals, doctors, and corporations.

The video below from NBC’s Today show, summarizes the whole issue quite well, we think.

Aspiring MBAs have always had an interest in starting their own businesses, say experts. But student loan debt and attractive career prospects at traditional firms have usually swayed them from pursuing startup dreams during and right out of school. Now, they're breaking with tradition and feeling less risk-averse because there isn't as much to lose. "Before students looked at entrepreneurship as job options three, four, and five," says Rob Adams, director of the Moot Corp business plan competition and lecturer at the University of Texas-Austin McCombs School of Business (McCombs Full-Time MBA Profile)."Now, it's job option one, two, and three."

Dems' Healthcare Means Tax Increases

Dems' Healthcare Means Tax Increases

The federal government has put taxpayers on the hook this year for hundreds of billions of dollars to stimulate the economy and pump up the banking sector and auto industry. The out-of-control spending has mortgaged the future with historic debt and diminished present-day opportunities for economic recovery. In addition, there’s widespread frustration and anger about Washington’s policies being directed at Wall Street and hand-picked companies, with little or no relief going to Main Street or the average person.

There’s added insult and injury in pending health care legislation. It would make the typical person worse off due to higher health insurance premiums and tax increases.

Great Milton Friedman quote

How Many Economists Does It Take To Enlighten Screw-ups?

“If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in five years there’d be a shortage of sand.”

Milton Friedman

Throughout the 1800’s America witnessed reckless banking that created panic and depressions. Over printing of paper money is an historical misbehavior of American government. The gold standard did not prevent crisis, but it was able to regulate power in the hands of the wrong people. That is not to say monetary abuses never occurred, but the economy and financial system, prior to the Federal Reserve, as a whole, was capable of fixing itself. The creation of the Federal Reserve created a system of abuse and regulatory failure. Now we have a government that continues overspending and excessive borrowing on money it does not have.

Money belongs to those who earn it, and it is the choice of the earner to do as he or she please with the money.

History Unfolding

I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.

Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.

Cord blood stem cells are considered one of the most promising medical treatments of the future. Parents are collecting cord blood and then storing it for their families not only as a treatment option for current uses of stem cells, but also for their potential future uses. In recent years, stem cell research has demonstrated that cord blood stem cells can differentiate into other types of cell tissue in the body, suggesting the possibility to treat diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and diabetes.
