What's your real name?

Where r u from?

Ssshhhh, it's a secret.

Is being a pilot(not air force) a good job? I have heard that most pilots earn quite well.

According to you(american) what is a good starting pay salary? and is $3000-$5000 okay.

What amount of earning is necessary,to live a well off life(in america)? so that you could afford a nice house,medical facilities,nice car(not a Bugatti or Lamborghini,but maybe a Porsche or a Mustang).

Being a pilot has pros and cons. They have can have long, inconvenient hours. On the other hand, being able to travel all over the world is nice. The flip side to that is that it would be difficult to maintain a relationship and have a family. As far as the salary goes, some pilots make great wages, but that's usually with the best airlines after they've worked there for several years. The starting wage is $30-$40K/year.

useful.

I hope you mean $30,000-$50,000. $3,000-$5,000 would be a terrible yearly salary. I think $50K is an okay salary. $30K is on the low side. I'll be making $30K/year as a grad student, which is good for a student, but not so much for a real job. I think that $70K/year and up is a good salary.

To be comfortably well off by your standards in America, $90K/year for a small household is probably sufficient.

My brother is going to be offline for the summer. Should I spam him?

Hell yeah! Spam the hell out of him.

Did you know that this has been done already? LOL Sorry real question now

Why is your username/Avatar a Panda (It's awesome btw) but just wondering. Are they your favorite animal?

Yes, I did.

Voltron's got me beat.

@Hime: read the OP.... xD

how have you been??

I've been good. I'm enjoying my summer. I've been slowly packing up to move to graduate school at the end of the summer.

Where r u from?

To both of you, if you'll read the OP, these are two questions I won't answer. I prefer to maintain some level of anonymity here. I don't reveal personal, identifying information.

Ssshhhh, it's a secret.

Indeed, sir.

Why is it sooooo secret?

See above.

Do you like Po?

 

[saaaaaadpanda]

Do you like Po?

The character from Kung Fu Panda? Sure, he's alright. I prefer the monkey voiced by Jackie Chan.

Where do you stand politically?

I meant $3000-$5000 per month not yearly man.So can you answer my question again considering this monthly ,not yearly?

Is "Quality over Quantity" true?

If $90k is a good salary, then $5k monthly amounts to $60000 which is not sufficient according to what Panda said.

Where do you stand politically?

Overall, I'm very much a moderate. When I've taken political science courses, they've always made me take one of the "where do you stand politically" quizzes, and I almost always fall dead center. That isn't to say that I don't have liberal or conservative viewpoints on individual issues, but they all kind of balance out.

I meant $3000-$5000 per month not yearly man.So can you answer my question again considering this monthly ,not yearly?

Oh, I see. Usually when one gives wages, unless specified otherwise, it's by yearly salary or hourly pay. $60,000/yr ($5,000/mo for 12 months) is an okay salary. $26,000/yr ($3,000/mo for 12 months) isn't great. I'll be making more than that as a grad student.

Is "Quality over Quantity" true?

In some circumstances, yes. In others, no. For example, in my well-fed and comfortable position, I would rather have a light meal at a five star restaurant than I would an all you can eat buffet at Golden Corral. However, if I were starving and or poor, the converse would be true.

If $90k is a good salary, then $5k monthly amounts to $60000 which is not sufficient according to what Panda said.

There are two things you need to consider. First, what is your passion? What do you want to do? Second, what is employable? Right now, their are more lawyers than there are positions available. To become a successful lawyer nowadays, you have to specialize, and even that's not a guarantee. National security, on the other hand, is a rapidly growing field, depending on what aspect of it you're getting involved in.

The short answer is: do what feels right.

I finally decided.I'll go with Law,because that was my childhood dream and seems more fitting for me.
Now there is another problem.There are currently 2 University's(PRIVATE) in my area that have Law.The thing is the difference in numbers between them.One is smaller and have like 150 students(One class containing probably 15 students)...and the other one is enormous,nearly 1000(One class containing over 30 students or so)..So what is your opinion on this.Do you think is better to learn in bigger groups or smaller ones.Basically what I'm asking you is:What would you choose if you were in my place.?

What would you do if you found out you're dying?

That's good to see you've decided, but I think we have some misconceptions to clear up. You don't really need to worry about where you're going with respect to your career in law because you have to finish your bachelor's degree in something before you move on to law school. Where you attend law school is often not where you received your undergraduate degree.

Also, while the one school is comparatively larger, neither are big schools. I just finished my BS at what is considered a small state university, and it has a population of about 14,000. I'm attending graduate school this fall at a university that has over 50,000 students. That is a large institution. Getting on to your question about the numbers, smaller classes are usually better, but 30 is not a terribly large class size. The difference between 15 and 30 won't significantly impact your learning experience at the collegiate level, and classes tend to get smaller as you get into more advanced, specialized courses anyhow. The difference in sizes between those schools is not what you should be basing your decision on.

If I were you, I would contact the registrar offices of both institutions to see if they have any statistics on the numbers of students in each who applied and were accepted into law school. They may also have the numbers on how many former students are actually currently practicing law. You should base your decision off of that kind of information.

What would you do if you found out you're dying?

That would really depend on how long I'm projected to live and how long I would have full use of my mental and physical faculties before I went.

Depends on what that dumb thing is.

The process of studying in my country is totally different than in other country's.Here as soon as you finish High-School you go to College(Law College is 3+2 years)+(2 Years for PHD if desired) and basically that is it.You're numbers are shocking to me as I am from one of the smallest countries with only 2 mill. people.So the numbers of students I told here is considered a big number for one University in my city.
Concerning your last paragraph,as I told you,I'm not speaking about State University's.I'm speaking about PRIVATE University's(Pay amount of money for every year you study there)so basically everyone can get into.
The only difference is the numbers of students between these twn that matter could you please be more direct.From what I read,you are saying the smaller one is better,right?
