ParticipantThe number of people I saw after college who didn’t get a degree in their field but instead got the first low paying job they could was very high. Many of them went on to stay in meaningless low paying jobs or work their way up the job ladder from a low position with no benefit for the degree.
The further I went into school the more important it was to me to get a job in my field, it ultimately led to the job I am into today. I am at the same company (I took a signifcant paycut at the time almost 40% to move from a job not directly related to my field to one that was) that I was hired from my junior year of college and am very happy.

ParticipantIf priced right why offer 2% less, especially on a newly listed property.
Assuming that all the homework was done and you decided that 2% less was the proper number. Why, after getting an auto generated response by the other side, did you immediately add 5k to your offer?
IMHO, Just go out with your highest and best next time and leave it at that.

ParticipantIf retail got its big inventory correction over with the last 18 months (as many say they have) then I would expect fewer “deals” and motivated sellers. Buyers will be hunting for deals and be very price sensitive but many retailers will have contracted sufficiently where they won’t be offering what the buyers are looking for. I think this is a possible scenario for Xmas season.
Rosenberg said something similiar as well:
“And, a companion survey by the NPD group shows that over 60% of shoppers only intend to buy marked-down items, which only complicates the sales outlook that much more because merchants believed they have adjusted their inventory levels sufficiently to avoid another round of price cutting.”The combination of the stock market rebound, less shaky financial system than we were seeing last December and many people not paying their mortgage (for most, their biggest expense) might be enough to goose sales YoY. But I tend to believe the inventory correction story combined with credit card cutting/contraction along with the general economy will win out. Though as many will point out history is littered with piles of people predicting the death of the American consumer. The ability for people to spend in the face of reality is really a defining characteristic of the american consumer.
