Participant[quote=north park girl]…I was considering an MBA last year, even applying to a few top schools for technology (Stanford, MIT, Berkeley). After getting rejected from all three, I thought about casting a wider net, then saw this article about law school debt: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/09/business/09law.html
[/quote]north park girl, these recent “law school graduates” are SO HAPPY to be able to get the opportunity to do the work that I’m doing (paralegal) but they don’t know the CA Rules of Court and local rules which you have to have in your head in this business. (They don’t teach this in law school, btw.)
It is TRUE that many firms are outsourcing this task (esp small firms). I am “independent” and am offered more work than I want or even have time to do.
I feel sorry for these new “debtors with no escape.” I have never set foot in a law school (as a law student) and couldn’t qualify to be admitted.

Participant[quote=eavesdropper]Okay with me. Do they have reno skills (preferably when their blood runs free of alcohol)?[/quote]
Gosh, I don’t know! We’ll have to ask him ;=] sdr, can we put the Huns to work on new Corian countertops??
[quote=eavesdropper]I know!! Let’s tear out the poolside concrete, and plant vineyards for our own wine![/quote]
Okay by me, as long as they’re on a drip irrigation system, are NOT thorny and YOU do the crushing! Purple feet, anyone??

Participant[quote=jstoesz]renters pay prop taxes too, only the prop manager is the tax collector…
It doesn’t matter how we are taxed, only that we are taxed so much for so little benefit.[/quote]
If the local rents will bear the landlord collecting at least PITI on a fairly recently purchased property, then maybe. Many individual landlords of SFR’s and condos cannot get this amount.

Participant[quote=eavesdropper]BG, I’m in complete agreement with you on this one. This house has a boatload of potential, and a lot of it would not be expensive to do yourself if you were reasonably handy (i.e., not a total klutz). I’d love to get my hands on this place. Did you catch that ocean view? For $189 per sf? Why, oh why, do I have to live in DC (the land of spray-on tans)?
Brian, I’m surprised at you! You’re an astute individual. And you’re commenting on CHAIRS? Handy tip: Bad taste is everywhere. Ocean views: not so much.
I wouldn’t get rid of the fireplace: it’s nicely done, and it fits the era of the house without dating it. I think you’d be surprised at the difference the right hardwood flooring and paint scheme would make. Brian, I’m betting that I could make you lust after this house. I totally agree with you about the excess concrete, but that’s fixable (time-consuming, expensive if contracted out, but definitely do-able!). Again, I think you’d be floored by the transformation.
Wanttobuy, two words: SUBMIT OFFER! (purchase only after an thorough inspection by a highly qualified individual, of course)
BG, if Wanttobuy doesn’t jump on it, let’s you and I go in on it!![/quote]
Okay, if we are successful in scoring it, can we have joint parties with cheap wine and invite sdr and his “Attila the Hun” friend(s) over ?? (inside joke ;=])
