T[b]hey should go back and pass the law[/b], not talking to the gallery,

I also expect the Executive to gazzete the law when passed immediately,

i disagree with you mate. that will just be a silly thing to do.

Write a proposal to the sales/marketing team of a company with detailed information on how traffic from your website could potentially improve their marketing efforts with easy delivery to thousands of users at any point in time.  Show them they could save cost by cutting back on newspaper advertising/billboards and invest more of their efforts into the world wide web.

DO some research and use it to support your proposal.  In your research, show figures of how many users visit your website by the hour and show projections of how this may likely improve in the future. If they are already placing an advert with another website, show them that yours is better and you are flexible with negotiations regarding billings as opposed to several other companies. 

Show that you are willing to provide additional incentives like a monthly report showing the statistics of the number of people visiting their website and other demographics such as age/sex etc.  Demonstrate to them that this will eventually help them to concentrate their branding efforts and introduction of new products.

If anything, it shows these kids have a very imaginative mind to come up with a completely wrong but yet logically reasonable answers to each questions based on their own real life experience.

Nothing could make education much more fun!


I particularly liked this guy

***peeps in thread, picks race!!!***

Suppose it were possible for someone "download" your brain to some digital medium. Then 1000 years after your body is died, technology exists to take this digital copy and "recreate" someone who has the exact same memories, mannerisms, etc as you.

Nothing so far points to the remote possibilities that this could even be achieved. Thoughts are random events but unlike the most events that you may normally assign probability distributions, the human brain is too complex to predict an outcome.

I studied Chemical Engineering. just finished my NYSC in a small oil and gas servicing company in a department called PROCESS DEPARTMENT.
Begged and begged my Boss to please retain me.  .



1. what is the job of a technical assistant,
2  Can one start that as a career or call it a career?
3. Can a Technical assistant still be called an Engineer.

Most people I know started their career off as a senior associate with 2 years fast track to a firm partner!  I myself refused all such junior jobs immediately after grad till someone came along to offer me a very senior role at the firm I'm currently working at.  Those guys should have realized your worth; your NYSC experience counts for a lot and given that the unemployment rate in the country is staggering low, such jobs should be dished out  to people who never attended Universities in the first place----not graduates with a whole wealth of NYSC experience!

Resign your job now, stay back at home, smile and look good. . .and i tell ya, the next better Engineering job will be knocking your door in a few days.

i dont think its boring because page 1 is reserved for stickies.

I believe its boring because there are very few new posts/threads, if ever.

From my observation, the peeps who frequent here prefer reading to posting.

If it cant become a marketplace, it can at least be a library, IMO.

I agree, but then again, the usefulness of a library thins out fast if you only get to find the same books on the shelves that has been on the shelf for five years.

Once the front page takes up a whole lot of space, it becomes pretty difficult for new threads to find any space in front and there are many people, me including who don't bother checking page 2 of any section.

but then, perhaps several others have an entirely different opinion.

[quote author=kay-one link=topic=882282.msg10304192#msg10304192 date=1330578132]what's silly? This is food we talkin bout!!!!!!!!!!!

@OP, if you have time i advise you first visit a reliable lab to know your general state of health cos all your fear might just needless[/quote]Tell me how it's not silly?

Medical records should be private!

How could u open your legs for a Man u can not even tell him he has put you in the Family way?is he such a beast?

How could you even contemplate now agreeing to date the other guy you do not like just because "a beggar has no choice" ??

I'm not the one Judge what a person decides to do with their lives . .but in all honesty, i think these two smart quotes from two different posters, puts a new meaning to what could be defined as 'a responsible person'

I was just about making a comment regarding the sticky thread-ish. Do we really need to have a sticker for every single career path known to man?

I would expect a thread to normally stay afloat on the first page if it generates enough attention and interests from viewers. This idea of having to come back to meet the same old thread lying on the same page gives boring a new meaning!

Many people here keep coming with silly statements of "You should have done this or that". . .how the fu[i]c[/i]k does that take us any further from this current position?

You really think in retrospect the OP does not realize the things he should have and shouldn't have done?

If you guys don't have any thing to offer then please, silence is considered golden too!

Probably there might be some retained product of conception(partial explanation for fever). I advise that she visits a gynaecologist. I will also want to know how many pad she changes in a day? and how soaked-up is each pad(is it dripping with blood?). A friend of mine terminated pregnancy in the same way with similar complication except fever. They promptly sought for my advice. I advised that she should take folic acid daily with a strict maintenance of personal hygiene. The bleeding stopped after a week.

Here's another likely untrained  internet doctor providing prescriptions/advise without examining the patient first!

Please people, don't come in here to provide an advise on what the patient should be using unless you've seen the patient before.  In the very least case, you may only end up complicating their situation further.  It is very clear that this patient needs the attention of a doctor or a gynecologist not some unline buddy!

Try going back to those doctors that refused to carry out the abortion and narrate your ordeal to them. Thay should be willing to help this time around. Or perhaps search for the solution on the internet just aš you got to kήow about Cytotec & co.
I just hope you won't eat the forbidden fruit after all this & I think you should marry her ASAP! Well, wishing you all the best & quick recovery for her

You were doing well till you got to the parts in bold. You really wouldn't give a relative the same advise would you?

Go to a hospital!   Stop looking for answers bordering life and death on the internet!!!

This silly practice should be strongly discouraged, why must a company you work for demand for such sensitive documents?

could the mods kindly help promote this topic to the front page? I'm also very interested to read people's views on OPs questions.

where does the reverse camera display?

i wonder

Masters in Public Health has been around for so long, thus, you will expect that most people would understand what your qualification is all about and how it may add value to their organisation as opposed to newly structured MSc degrees that are being offered by some Unis. From my understanding, development roles are mostly inseparable from health related roles. A Masters in Public health easily provides you with a broad scope that may be required to function properly in many NGOs. This scope can then be tailored by focusing on specific aspects of a job that interests you.

All that asides, i feel what is probably advisable in your situation is to list out the curriculum of both courses and see which ones offer course works that will be well tailored to your interests and most suitable for your career path.

I have a better idea, how about you fu[i]c[/i]k off and crawl back into whatever shyt hole you came from?

Working at a central bank does not mean you have to be paid in billions

wow! very interesting thread.

violet, it seems you have a lot of knowledge regarding the finance sector. please, can i have your email address? someone dear to me is considering some career moves within the finance sector and is in need of some advice.  thank you

I must say, the quality of advise you stand to gain from everyone here is far more than i may ever be able to offer privately.  There are several people with varying experiences here who are able to provide a very sound opinion on career moves.

My mum passed away about 2 years ago, the darkest moments of my life.  I naturally blamed God for it all, who wouldn't?

I have however come to know:

. . . .that nothing will exist forever, the world was never designed that way!

. . .that Good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people, that is a natural process that will never change notwithstanding whoever or whatever you believe in!

. . . . .that all men either good or bad, must die! . . .and yes, by all men, that includes people very dear to you!. . .your prayers would not change this fact!

. . . .that not everyone will live to a hundred years. . .not everyone will make it past 50!. . the fact that someone you know dies early does not necessarily mean God loves them any less.

. . . .that the pains we feel when a loved one passes away is due mainly to our selfish human emotions. If dying means sleeping peacefully away from the many terrible woes of this world, do we really suppose our loved ones who have passed away would prefer to remain here if they had a choice?

. . . .that God feels our pain, and even he, witnessed the crucifiction of his only son and did nothing to stop it, so that what has been written may come to pass.

. . . .that he has promised that "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

Oh, OK. They are posting the Nigerian officers to represent them. You are making a lot of sense.

and is there something to suggest from the news that by the mentioning of "world bank team", it immediately means their Washington based team? when especially they have an office in Nigeria?

seems everyone here simply assumes that ALL world bank officials must be foreigners

@violent

Lmao at your previous comment.

Physicians do actually do a lot of Non clinical jobs, yes finance jobs inclusive! Just go through the MBB (mckinsey, bain and bcg)  consulting websites and that of Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan chase and you may have a better understanding of what I am saying.

Anway since I am looking to go into healthcare financing in the long run a PE/VC opportunity is my first choice, followed by IBanking.  I am however very much open to other opportunities in the field of finance.

I hope fortune still favours the brave

Fortune always does!

If on the long run you are planning to move into PE/VC or Ibanking, why not consider obtaining a sound MBA? I think you may likely stand better chance with an MBA than CFA in this regard. In the meantime, some experience of project management will probably do you a lot of good, and your experience with an NGO will definitely add to the flavor. good luck doc!

Just to digress a bit.

Whats your stake on commodities and forex markets? Is it an area one can build  career on? I will be having a chat with one of the guys in the commodities and forex markets. He operates from singapore-Nigeria. Kindly brief me on the prospects in the this area and any other vital info. Tanx
.

You can't separate a career in commodities from a career in trading.  As a matter of fact, the former is merely a branch of the latter, and as you will probably know, to be successful, you may require an  extensive knowledge of derivatives, options and hedging if you don't want all your money going to the other smart guy.  The good thing is that you can choose the markets you want to specialize in, oil and gold are the most volatile, carbon, agriculture and livestocks are less volatile and more predictable. 

A career in commodities was something i was looking to before i mysteriously found myself in asset allocation.  The highs, like many other trading jobs is the fact that you could make loads of money, and the lows of course is a direct family of the former, you could potentially lose an entire life savings. 

The biggest employers are the major Banks you could think of with the leading devil being Goldman sachs. The likes of BP and Chevron also employer traders mostly to trade to hedge their long positions and manage their risk exposures. There's been tightened regulation:- Volcker rule, Basel III and all those stuff, which makes it increasingly difficult for some desk to hire more people, but if you are generally smart, and have the know how/aptitude for quants then you may be rest assured that the opportunities are still out there.  Having a Phd help a lot in this regard too.

It is rare to find individuals going it alone because of the large amount of capital involved even after taking use of leverage into consideration.  You'd also need access to some the best systems available and good experience/training will be invaluable.


As for forex, that's more like a lot of gambling (not as though anything is much different  ), you don't need so much capital and you could take large positions by spreadbetting.  Again, it's a dog eat dog world, many smart people lose a lot of money to other smart people some of the time.  If you aren't so smart, then you are guaranteed to lose your money all of the time.  I have classmates that are making their living from spreadbetting money market indices tho, but i feel it's a lot harder to predict and time the movement of currencies than equity indices and i have always tend to stick to the later.  Sometime July last year, i made my biggest killing in spreadbetting the short FTSE index just before the US downgrade. . .It was the freshest air ever  Over 1000 pounds in two hours.  Two weeks after, i lost 150 pounds and retired temporarily from the market, haven't been back ever since

The muscle of finance.

Doctors by design have one the most reputable jobs on earth, which is in contrast to Investment/finance professionals known to be greedy scums most people will rather do without. . . .second only to lawyers!

When someone jumps ship from a fine job of saving the world to the evil axis of Banking, investments and Finance, most of the time, it can always be attributable to that one factor that haunts all men (just haunts more of us than others), GREED!. . . . .and as the great Gordon Gekko will have it, "Greed is good!"


@OP:

Which part of finance are you looking at?

----- Accounting and Finance? Asset management? Commodities? Investment Consulting? Investment Banking? Risk Management? Retail Banking? Private banking? Wealth Management? Investment Research? Credit Research? Derivatives? Islamic Finance? FX & Money Markets? Private Equity/Venture Capital?

Those blaming the OP should get a grip, you wouldn't be very comfy if your husband wakes up every morning  and speaks Mandrain.  OP and his wife got married in the first place because they understood each other and can communicate effectively.  If one of them breaks the communication link between them by speaking/praying all the time, in a language that the other does not understand, then you expect that there may be trouble.

And no, this has nothing to do with darkness or being in the world as some donkey mentioned in an earlier post, it's just natural preferences.  I want to be sure it's my wife that is still in there. .

wow! some serious movement, after all those years at Uni.

Why are people answering questions with questions

ah! Fresh Air!

Good thing this has been resolved on OP's terms.  Hopefully there won't be a next time.

Your brother is quite peaceful tho, i hope God may give me the level of patience to "only warn" a spouse who's being abusive to my sisters.  In my world, warnings take too long a time to deliver the needed result, a time that i can't afford!. . .US has been warning Iran for ages, and guess what, the assho[i]l[/i]es are still hell bent on manufacturing nooks.
