10 03 2009

Here is a list of the Top Ten Things a Business Student should have for College and hang on to throughout a Business Career.

1. Caffeine – $1.00 – if you pay more then a dollar for a caffeinated beverage, you haven’t done a proper cost-benefit analysis, but you definitely don’t want to fall asleep during Corporate Finance or your prof. WILL call on you!
2. TI-83 graphing calculator with instruction booklet – $100 – because you look smart when you whip this thing out everytime anyone starts to calculate something.
3. Warren Buffet’s Annual Reports – Free – http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/ – This man knows what good business is all about!
4. finance.yahoo.com – Free – Every stock price, graph of a company’s financial history, every beta.
5. Wall Street Journal – varies in price – Students get a deep discount, get addicted now.
6. Pizza – varies in price – Take a break from ramen!
7. Seth Godin – Free – He is the ultimate Marketing Guru, use his tricks to write your final report for Marketing 101: Seth’s blog – http://sethgodin.typepad.com/
8. Financial Management Textbook – approximately $200 and guaranteed to break your arm off – You will read this more after you graduate.
9. Microsoft Excel – price depends on student/non-student – you will use Excel thousands of times before you graduate — LEARN IT NOW!
10. Market Research and Article Databases – Free/Not so free – When you are at the University, the school pays for these big expensive data collections; when you work for a big company, the Company pays. Either way, you have to know how to use them!

Chronology of Patrick Bateman’s Life

4 08 2008

Patrick Bateman (MBA Harvard Business School) is a fictional character, the anti-hero and narrator of the novel American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis and its film adaptation.  Here is a time-line of his life:

October 1, 1960 – October 23, 1962: Patrick Bateman is born.
1980: Bateman graduates from Phillips Exeter Academy.
1984: Bateman graduates from Harvard University.
1985: Bateman has a short discussion with his estranged brother Sean about his future.
1986: Bateman graduates from Harvard Business School.
1986-?: From the time of his graduation, through the end of American Psycho, Bateman works at Pierce & Pierce.
1996: Bateman shows up at Victor’s club in Glamorama with “strange stains” on his suit.
2000: Bateman enters therapy with a Dr. M. This appears in the American Psycho 2000 e-mails. In these emails, he is divorcing Jean, to whom he has been married for at least five years, and has a son. He has apparently started his own brokerage firm and seems to be even richer than he was in the original novel. His tastes are even more rarefied. His homicidal tendencies (or thoughts) seem to have cooled a little with the birth of his son, but have not disappeared completely.
2003: Ellis kills Patrick Bateman by writing an extraordinary account of the serial killer being trapped in a pier fire. See Lunar Park.
