What specialty are you wagon? proctologist?

2012wagon

Yeah I will hit you up, cuz you are local, and I prefer local things.

Old town/Old port not sure. It was the cobble stone area, and very "artsy"

My brother in Law is from Windsor. Always told me about Poutine. Had it in montreal..I just don't get it. Just doesn't taste great to me.

I lvoed the little cafes..where in the glass you can see them make crepes..and then you eat it upstairs....very personal..

I think the reason people like the underground city..is on this side you don't see many of it. So people wonder "what is going on underground."

Same way when I saw my first basement in med school. I was like what people live in underground without windows? Its a revelation if you are from LA..where you think everyone has a Bentley and world is full of sunshine.

What I loved is the wagons/hatchbacks. Given I am a fan of both, it was welcome.

It was also nice to see people actualy using winter tires (maybe by law, but i dont know)

2012wagon

Why, need an exam? I volunteer with Doctors without Borders few months out of the year, in some parts of the world, I have to be a proctologist, cardiologist, and pediatrician all in the same day.

In the US, I am a licensed neonatologist.

I've read enough.. this wagon fucker must be besties with boostedjack..

@Haas being a shitty biz school.. It was top 3 back in the day which would have been about the time you graduated.

2012wagon

My point was, people who graduated from #1, was making more money

My further point was, if I used my business degree or my JD, I would be be a lot WEALTHIER. Which is different than income.

Though my income is high now, I have 12 years of net negative income (med school, residency, fellowship).

In those 12 years, either at SKadden or a Wall Street firm I would be able to amass wealth, which I didn't do.



Yes it was highly ranked, when I graduated

Old port then, cobblestone everywhere. Poutine is only great if you're having a great one. Too many places making their own poutine and turns out not so good.

There's a good amount of these little restaurants and cafes and they're all lovely.

Winter tires are obligatory here now, so it depends when you last came, but even then most people had them already. We get too much snow for even the best 4 seasons to get by.

Never was a fan of hatches and wagons, but many people are here.

2012wagon

You and I should trade places, since you dont like hatch/wagons.

Maybe I did't have the right Poutine. I am wiling to try again.

How expensive is real estate there? LIke for a normal family of 4, middle class, good schools, low crime, 2K sq feet house, what would be the price?

I came a few times in 2009/2010.


One time we stayed at a hotel, had a second story pool above the car park area. So as you pulled in, if you looked up, you saw people swimming....

Majofo

Went to Haas business school, went to Stanford Law, practicing neonatologist.. drives a busted TSX.

Majofo

You also have a vagina.. this is too much.

Majofo

tits or gtfo

2012wagon

I love my TSX. Being the cheapest car in the lot, says a lot

I wish I had a vagina. If I did, I would have never gone to school.

I would move to Dove Canyon. Get 34C Implants. HIt a bar everynight. Only sleep with men 65-80 years old, and live the good life.

Majofo

Gary's not old enough to hit it

Shouldn't you be working on your next malpractice case

Botches circumcision, hands parents card saying they can represent them in the malpractice suit.

Majofo

Don't you TSX suckers have your own bullshit thread.. go back there.. This thread is for blue collar men.. and the men that toss their salads.

Jamie's 08 TL

Someone say salad? I'll grab the bacon bits and Blue Cheese!

Jamie's 08 TL

I'm not a creep Maj.

Majofo

Good thing about a girl is she's loyal and will kill for you.. bad thing is, she'll cut your dick off if you're not loyal to her.. and if they sew it back on, she'll comeback and chop it off again and feed it to a dog. They crazy bro.. run.



You know better than me.. in for the long stretch, not live check by check like gwairo counterparts.



Creep this wagon chick out.. she wants the D.

polobunny

Real estate is pretty cheap right now. It's a world of condos, though.

On Montreal island for a house with 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms lowest would be around $400K. Generally decent around $500-550K. Outside of Montreal island you can pay half the price for something similar.

You can look around on Centris.ca or MLS.ca to find general pricing information. Ironically, I am in the real estate business as an IT guy. Keeping the company I work for a secret though, shhhhh.

Jamie's 08 TL

Where's J? Have we given any more thought to the "Miami Spring Break Meet and Skeet"?

I was thinking boostedjack too....

Majofo

We already have a resident doctor that drives a wagon.. and it's a CTS-V.. you're dismissed.

thoiboi

polobunny

I'd take that wagon, but fuck I still think it's ugly as sin. God damn wagons.

Yumcha

Dafuq...not where I come from.

Either that, or you have some peeps who are lying a bit about their salary. I was pulling in $60K 3 years out of school and I graduated in 2001...and I thought that was pretty decent.

Yumcha

Seriously, I know I was not THE hardest working kid in college but WTF...what skoo does 2012wagonboi's friends go to? Or do they have friends in super high places?!??

$200K within 2-3 years is farking impressive...I mean, if you're a crack developer for Google, Microsoft, you can earn that...but, with a business degree? I dunno man...I dunno. That or I'm not with the times here.

thoiboi

Seriously.. I decided against B-school because of the price tag / ROI. 2 years + $250K in debt for USC... But if they're making 500K, that 250K debt would be obliterated..

2012wagon

I am the best salad tosser west of the mississippi

They aren't lying. I see them, I know it. Top business school guys in hedge funds are easily making that. Columbia grad making 150K on the street. Few years, + bonus=easily making tons of money.

I didn't say 60K wasn't decent. I was saying what I was offered and what I saw guys who make.

However of all professions, my B school friends have been unable to hold on to a lot of money. Coke and whores ruin the income

My roomie at Cal (EECS major) the one with the bicycle tickets, is a crack developer at Google, and living large. Only engineer I know making B school/law/physician money. Heck he making bank than the rest of us.

If one goes to Cal State Northridge and business degree, you will make 55k in LA. If you go to Wharton and get on the street, you aint making 55K.


I think we are mixing up many things here. Undergrad in top business school + work for a few years+mba from top business school=Bank. I am not talking about USC. Marshall isn't a Wharton or a HBS or a Carnegie, in my book.

Most of the people I went to B school with (doesn't apply to me), were all jewish and had connections in wall street firms.

Which is why when I was a kid, I wanted to be two things:
1) White
2) Jewish

Cuz they run the world.

Hedge fund guys with no MBA...pulling in quite a bit of money.

Also lots of physicians have 200-300k debt, and making $500k a year, and the debt isn't oblierated. Due to when they start their life, family, kids. Now if you lived on top ramen in downtown LA for 5 years and paid it off, that is different, but that isn't the norm, from what I see.

2012wagon

That is actually not bad. SImilar to a LA type of standard of living.

Funny I ask a RE question, and you are a RE guy

2012wagon

Agree. Bob is the shit. CTS-V is pimp. Hard to find manual. Trust me, looked.

WHAT? You blind, mutha fucka? Here I was thinking you are cool.

Majofo

Now I know you're full of shit.

2012wagon

You don't like competition?

thoiboi

OH yeah... forgot about the whole "life happens" nonsense.. forget it, quite paper chasing, just live the life you've got and be happy with the cards that are dealt to you.

2012wagon

Yup...life..what a suxor

When I was in HS...I thought if I made a 100k I would be in a super exotic. Then when I made my first 100k, I realized what it meant... sigh.

Your highlited response above, sums up my life and outlook. You said it very eloquently actually.

I wasted 4 years of my life chasing paper and trying to get a 355 with Tubi or a 575. Then I realized what made me happy and it wasn't chasing paper.

Being happy with what you do is very important. When I was a resident making 36K, I was a lot happier than my friends making 800K.

I am still relatively poor compared to lots of people I went to school with. I would say I am in the bottom 5%. That said, I am happier than all of those mother fuckers with yatchs and who are on their 3rd wife.

Or maybe I justify "my happiness" and not having their money...by thiking and fooling myself that I am happy?

Who knows.....

But when a 500g baby...that was almost dying..I can see in the 1st grade..and their parents come by and lets me meet them now..to me THAT is worth it.and I do what I do...

I would do it for free....and if you look at my life pattern..where I could be (Paper wise) and where I am...essentially I spent many years paying others..to let me follow my passion....

Yumcha

Well, I rolled with mostly engineers and a couple of accountants. So, excluding the engineers I know and talking about the business school grads, of the ones who "made it"...most are topping at around $220K...tops. And that's as a Director of Finance or Controller at some major organization.

I know no one in the hedge fund business and again, maybe the caliber of people I know just don't get hired by those finance companies out west or in the east...no one I know is an exec-type at Morgan Stanley and etc. Sure, I know peeps at PwC or Deloitte but those are accounting firms and they work you to the bone and not much more than what I take in working in industry. At mid-30s age, most are not yet close to making partner...maybe in another few years if they can bring in some heavy-hitting contracts.




So, 2012wagonboi...you run with some impressive people.

I'm not worthy.




Going to take my robots and play in a poorer and dumber sandbox nao.

2012wagon

^^
I don't equate $ with impressive. That is just me. Which is why my secretary asked why I sold a brand new Lexus for a used Acura.

BUt all the guys I were talking about were all Wall Streeters or Hedge Fund guys.

My most "impressive" person is my cousin a Peds Hemonc . Makes 80K on a good year. Deals with heartbreaking children with cancer.... gives 50% of her earnings to cancer centers around the world for resarch... lives with 3 other people sho she can afford rent, and drives a late 80s Corolla FX16 hatchback.

Money doesn't define who you are. Character is what defines you..what would you do when no one is looking...

2012wagon

So why did Acura switch to the 5x120 on the 4th gen TL?

I really like the 19s on that 4th gen TL...

Anyone know?
