I'll be going into the management side of the Construction Industry. Once I've finished my current course I'll do a post-grad degree in structural engineering and then waltz into lovely upper-mid level position in a big company and begin my long hard struggle for the boardroom, where my dad and uncle are.
Nice job Mr. toon. The future Mrs. toon must love the thought of the money coming in.
I always love to read this poem when it snows. Of course, since I'm in New England now, I read it alot more.

Funny that there's all this business talk...I'm watching both seasons of The Office (original version) for the very first time. Hilarious stuff. Freelove Freeway is the best song ever.

What's the ranking based on, anyway? According to this link of US schools:
http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/natudoc/tier1/t1natudoc_brief.php
...Wake Forest is in the upper echelon of US unis.
I know for a fact that Wake is much better than GW.

Ah, I know Bates! Only because a friend of mine from Wake transferred from Colby (I think)...and he had a t-shirt that said "BUCK FATES." Are Colby and Bates rivals or something?

It's not on there but it's calculated on student feedback, peer ratings and earnings.

Its based on peer review(40%), recrutier review (10%), internation faculty score (5%), internation student score (5%), faculty/student score (20%) and citations/faculty score (20%).
Not a clue what it means.
