Participantthe Dow dropped more than 3 percent today. I think that it will get to between 8000 and 9000 within this year.

ParticipantAt JPL you don’t do much with a BS. You need a Master or PhD degree. In addition, these guys are very selective and a little bit arrogant, they probably don’t consider candidates from Cal State Colleges. Most people who work there are from Cal Tech, MIT, Berkeley, and Stanford.
[quote=ucodegen]Another possibility is JPL located just north of Pasadena. It might be hard to get into though.[/quote]

ParticipantA lot of people buy with their credit cards. My 25 yr old cousin has LV and channel bags even though she makes only $13/hr. It doesn’t even make sense to buy these luxury items that were designed for folks with incomes over $100K. When I ask her about it, she told me she could die tomorrow so she is enjoying life now.

Household income breakdown:
<15k = 11%
15k-<30k = 16%
30k-<45k = 16%
45k-<60k = 14%
60k-<75k = 12%
75k-<100k = 12%
100k-<125k = 7%
125k-<150k = 4%
150k-<200k = 3%
200k and up = 4%.
[/quote]Interesting stat. We're at the mid 150k-<200k range. So that makes us at the top 7%? That's hard to imagine because if we go to the mall, we feel that everybody is making way more than us. I often ask my wife where are this people getting their money to buy expensive bags and clothes.[/quote]

ParticipantMore pain coming today, Nasdaq is down another 4 to 5%. I see the Dow at 9000 and Nasdaq at 1000.
[quote=EmilyHicks]Lucky you. I lost more than 10% since April. Is it too late to move to bonds now?
[quote=jimmyle]Wow, what happened to the Dow and Nasdaq earlier? I am so glad that I sold all my stocks mutual fund last week. I wanted to buy treasuries like many here susggested but my Fidelity 401K doesn’t give that option. Basically I have 50% in bonds and 50% interest income fund right now.[/quote][/quote]
