Yes, San Jose State 1977. What I do now has absolutely nothing to do with my technical degrees (BS, MS: Civil Engineering from Cal, and MBA).

No but considering it. But I hate school - the classroom that is. Maybe ADD but I prefer "life" learning, FWIW.

Wow.

I can't help wonder how many JD's there are here, but people will probably not admit to it.

Yes. Rutgers (like about 1/2 the state). The degree is collecting dust in the pile in the corner of my office with the rest of my degrees and certificates.

I was married with child and the school was down the street, so it worked.

I had fun. It probably got my foot in the door for an interview or two over the years. My investments have done much better since I received the degree -- I always wanted to be able to understand that stuff in the back of an annual report. I'd do it again, and I'd do it at Rutgers, but mainly because it was fun. If I wanted to work on Wall Street I would have gone elsewhere.

well, i'll tell you, it isn't easy, but I think its really worth it. Lots of diverse professionals at stern. In fact, a lot are in IT, but most are doing IT stuff at the major I banks. Lots of pharma people as well.

In terms of its effect on your direct position, probably not useful, but a smart guy with an IT background a good MBA will probably do quite well, especially if you're into math.

Good luck with the GMAT. I took the princeton review class and found it helpful.

Yep, USC '06. Now, I invest private equity money in commercial real estate. That said, if the market continues its return to sanity (), I'll be buying distressed debt or something.
