    Irvine High School vs. University High School

    I was an original BBS guy - 300 baud modem on my Atari 800 in the early 80s, lusting after a Hayes 1200 Smartmodem. I remember downloading Duke Nukem for my little brother in Irvine in the early 90s.

    Olivewood at Portola Springs by New Home Co.

    Good job Panda - you used your EQ to win the beauty. EQ took me a long time to develop and my wife has been very patient witn me this whole time. Winning her hand in marriage is my life's greatest accomplishment.

    Olivewood at Portola Springs by New Home Co.

    married for almost 30 years and I chose well but had more than 2 hrs to explore for skeletons in the closet. Funny thing is my wife and prior GF were both in long term relationships when I met them - the good ones are always taken!

    Irvine High School vs. University High School

    The really old one, the one up the street from the Van Halen house, the one that began with a B or the one over near Hastings Ranch? Or a private like Maranantha? I went to the one by HR. My graduating class was 50% black, 30% Mexican and 20% white/other. About the best part were the Friday/Sat...

    you're right to worry. close to a decade of tackle football toughened our kid yet he was still snowflakey when he'd receive criticism and had super low EQ. A few years of college at a Big 10 school far away from home has been a priceless experience to help him get his act together. Now he's VP...

    Then you're a soph in the freshman dorm - kind of lurky. There's nothing wrong with these alternate routes but ROI should factor in the impossible replacement costs for lost experiences.

    How come UCLA does not offer an undergraduate business degree?

    USC is not a target school for Wall St firms but very much so for accounting and consulting (not McKinsey but Deloitte/ Accenture etc). A USC Computer Science degree with a business minor is the highest ROI degree you can get from USC - I lack the business minor but more than made up for it as...

    If College Tuition is seen as an investment vehicle by Parents, Which UC School is the best investment?

    He put everything on the line in 99 to buy an apt bldg in SJC after he left a career running a factory for one of the Detroit automakers and then built a sort of distribution business. His son had not other option, but the JC route is not optimal in my eyes as missing out on the first 2 years of...

    If College Tuition is seen as an investment vehicle by Parents, Which UC School is the best investment?

    These friends are the wealthiest people we know so money never factored in. They recently spent 5 years bulding a 15,000 sq ft palace here in San Jose. The dad is brilliant and his sole wish is to help his kids achieve success. His son's turnaround was the greatest gift ever for him and his wife.
