No I did not say that. I said "I see kids who have no problem telling their mom/dad no, or where to go, or what they're going to do. I see kids who don't respect authority or adults" and that's exactly what you're saying you do.

I'll leave it to you to tell me if that fits the "discipline problem" description.

that's exactly what hillary has SAID she wants to do, interestingly when talking about exxon.

Yesterday Exxon declared the biggest profit in the entire history of capitalism — $39 billion — and that did not escape Hillary's notice. Today she promised to tax Exxon on those huge profits, and tax those greedy capitalist pigs big time. Here's her quote:

"I want to take those profits and put them into an alternative energy fund that will begin to fund alternative smart energy alternatives that will actually begin to move us toward the direction of independence."

I'll graduate, get a management consulting job, move to New York or DC, get killed with 75-hour weeks my first three years, go back for an MBA, return to the consulting firm with a low-mid 6-figure salary, and start looking for the right woman to settle down with (assuming she isn't found already ).

Doesn't sound that complicated

lol.

I hope that works out for you - you're not picking the best time to get into consulting, although you couldn't have predicted current market conditions when you started

Also, as a management consultant myself, I hope you like traveling

I love traveling, which is part of the reason why I want to work in that field.

Ideally I'd cream myself if I could get a job with McKinsey, but they're in high demand around here--not so easy to break in. I'd love it if I could get hired by Bain, BCG, or Booz Allen also. All of which are much easier to get hired by, just because they don't have the name that The Firm does.

So you wouldn't consider civil disobedience a legitimate way to try and change laws which one considers unjust?

Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, and Gandhi are frowning upon you.

Along with the founding fathers of this country.

If it weren't for people breaking unjust laws, there probably wouldn't be a United States.

Do you know what they went through before they got to that point? They tried legal means of getting laws changed LONG before they resorted to civil disobedience. And, I don't remember MLK or Gandhi advocating killing anyone which is mostly the point of this thread.

In other words there's a huge difference between going out and actively breaking a law (like OP's talking about) and what both MLK and Gandhi advocated, non-cooperation and peaceful resistance.

Let us know how that goes. Bain came in first for best places to work in '07, though.

We came in #9

I don't know what list you're referring to, but I've worked around alot of Booz ppl and nearly started working with them. I don't think they will make the list of best places to work...

at least Bearing Point didn't make the list. Otherwise, the list seems like a list of the larger consulting firms

[thewise1]

Yeah, they required a minimum of 200 billable consultants, IIRC.

You're saying the program you were involved with in your teenage years didn't help your discipline, you were even group leader I thought?

I'd say it was a great thing and would recommend it for any kid - although it certainly wasn't an unfair advantage, anyone can join and it's nationwide.

Considering that's earned, it must be an unfair advantage to just plain be Andrew Brown
