I am a PGA Golf Professional at Brookside Golf Club in Pasadena, Ca. I am sure you have seen the course. We are adjacent to the Rose Bowl, so cars park on it during games. When the blimp flies overhead for a camera shot you can see all the cars on the course. I purchased the Golf Shop in December. So its basically teach golf and operate a retail store, two jobs in one.

U give IE discounts? I need new irons. Just ridding. Maybe I will come play sometime
I live in Yorba Linda.

I'm admitted spring 2015.

It will be very interrupting. I too have a family. 3 young daughters in fact. And their smoking hot momma. So I'll be taking my summer vacations in North Dakota until I'm finished.

But to retire from working out of my living room will be great. That's the goal.

I'll be bugging you occasionally. That is one expensive program, if I read the tuition correctly. $82.5k without accounting for tuition increases. If you claim the 2k lifetime learner and or 2.5k American Opportunity tax credit, you can mark it down by 10k but that is still an expensive online education.

Of course, the job prospects and starting pay make up for it. Have you found a way to offset those costs?

I plugged it here before after we graded the BCS Championship game, but I work at profootballfocus.com. I'd love to see PFF grade some college games to get a better sense of ND's line play. Even doing this I still rarely pay attention to OLine's when I'm watching games live. Maybe I'll do some grades and stats for ND games on my own if I have enough free time this fall.

I'm a big fan of the site, FWIW. There are obviously lots of smart people who are big football fans on this site. All of you guys should check out their stuff.

(I admit I haven't plopped down the coin for the premium stuff, but I learned about the site by seeing them cited in various places and all of the free stuff you guys have is really good in its own right.)

Word I do the something as you, except I have a PM for my off shore development team. I kind of like wearing multiple hats in a small company, but I know to make more money and for my career to take off I need to focus on product management/business analyst and ugg eventually PM.

P.S. sales force cloud is probably the best CRM tool if your company has sales team and inside sales employees.

We looked at Sales Force, but the owner fell out of his chair when he heard the cost. We use P21 software. It has a CRM module that is part of the app and isn't an extra cost, but to make it web accessible that module is extra. lol

Xfer scholly.

Tuition reimbursement through Devon Energy.

And MOAR student loans; I almost had the last ones paid for, but I'm only 34. (Bites nails nervously.)

I'll be $20K out of pocket after xfer credits. I'm hoping. We'll see. I'll have no basics/chem/phys to take I don't think. But prereqs will extend potential speed.

Hell yeah bug me. Hell go to school with me. I'll blaze the trail, you carry the mail.

I am a Chiropractor in Kansas City. Absolutely love what I do. Always wanted to help people, and be involved in athletics. See a ton of local athletes as patients so I get to do both. My dad is a teacher/coach and loves it, but he also had to be gone a lot as a bartender on weekends etc. to make ends meet. When I was picking between the two roads, he nudged me towards the Chiropractic path and told me to coach my kids on the weekends. Nothing but respect to all you guys, but especially you teacher/coaches.

Also, major props and respect to you emergency medicine guys. I am way too big a wuss to handle a patient dying on me. One of my former teammates and good buddies from college is an E.R. Doc here in town and he has some awesome stories too. I definitely prefer my back pain patients to be due to yard work vs. things in their rectum. It is amazing how common a thing that seems to be?!?!?!?!

I don't know why but chiropractors crack me up.

I don't know if it's cool to do biz via this site? However I sell a lot of equipment. I would definitely extend discounts to any IE brethren. We can get anything you want.

hmm...I'm not familiar with P21. As for sales force I think we paid $1,000 for a years subscription, but we don't really use it because we really don't have a "sales team."

Have you looked into ACT?

I'm researching the program now. I worry about finding employment being a 35-36 year old with no experience and a fresh Pet Eng degree. I'll send an email to the faculty with a few key questions and reach out to my cousin.

P21 is actually Profit21. It's a distribution software. Our quote for Salesforce was approaching $100K. $1,000 for the year sounds cheap. Maybe the $1,000 was a monthly subscription? A lot depends on the different components you get plus licenses. Add in professional services, training and all of the extras they like to hit you with and none of them are really cheap. Quite a few are going to the monthly subscription model to generate a more fluid monthly revenue stream. Looked at Act, Sage, Sales-i and SAP.

I looked up P21, never really been in an industry where it's been needed. I will look into our sales force pricing, but I believe it was $1,000 for year. Just to be clear I don't have sales force software downloaded on a server or anything, it's all through their web portal. Like I said we don't really have a sales team, but sales force is used just as a CRM tool for us. Input clients and potential clients (sales leads), track progress, follow up, etc. We don't have any add-in's or custom developed apps for it. We should have gotten training on it, which I do want to get from them now lol.

That explains a lot. We need to tie it to P21 to do trend analysis, identify customers that haven't purchased from us in X number of months, follow up better with customers and give the VP of Sales a better way to keep tabs on the sales staff and how they're spending their time.

I'm going to PM you with a question on AD.

I thought you did couch interviews.

Question for y'all: im interviewing for a third time with a company tomorrow, but im interviewing with the co-chairman and CEO. I've interviewed with the 2 managers in business development, the VP of business development, and the president and COO so far. My question is: do I ask any different end of interview questions than I have with everyone else? I usually ask something like "what traits do you think are needed to be successful at this job" or something like that. Would it be poor form to ask him when a decision will be made since he is so far up the company ladder? Please help. Thanks.

I haven't been on a job interview since 97' but around business owners all the time and If you get them talking passionately about themselves they will remember you.

It's less about the questions at the end and more about setting the tone:
