Finance never made much sense to me even though I studied engineering economics, learned to count money (stacks of material treasures such as coins of copper, generic gold, Apollo Space dollars. Later, on the job I learned government bean counting as a U.S.G. civil servant. Needless to say I was surprised when I started my own business to discover I had forgotten how to keep books even though I could still balance a checkbook since mom taught me how when I was first entering high school and then I aced the personal finance class in high school. Later, after building my own almost successful 12 person person firm that peaked at approximately 500k$ I went bankrupt either because money is compressible (I thought the caculations were excessive because I did not understand that money and value are totally different things. I will be back to see what other insights this class has that I have avoided. I am interested in investing in the stock market because I was born in 61 and I wish to be able to retire somewhat comfortably ..... the stock market scares me because I do not yet really grasp why I should ship my money threw New York for the benefit of others rather than myself. For now I pay as I go and I can at least usually remember that there are people whom I truly love as myself and whom I know love me in the same responsible way.

Consider the analogy. Cash is like "water weight" in dieting. If your goal is to lose weight, then just quit drinking water and hoard it. This was a very beautiful post because it is tough to explain to people why a business degree isn't actually useless.
Physics and science courses are straightforward. Business education teaches you to understand this complex stuff you have said. I hope you took all your money out of the stock market as of the time you posted this. You would have doubled your money. 65.41.151.165 10:57, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
