Go NanoMark!

I slapped together an 11 inch presentation packet including a 20+ page business plan for the SBA's 8a certification program. It was full of foolish goals and impractical/unrealistic marketing techniques and yet was approved after 11 months of meetings. I was certified as a contractor into a worthless program that just generated huge amounts of reports on a quarterly basis. The time would have been better served WORKING in the field or better yet, not submitting it in the first place...

We live and learn.

Are they asking for help on cigar boards too?

#2........that program is sponsored by Georgia Pacific.

donutboy,

Probably. Ram said it was okay.

I get by with a little help from my friends.

Can we earn college credit?

That prize wouldn't pay for 1/5th of what my MBA set me back. It is good to be working though....

Now if you folks could just find a way to socially engineer jobs for yourselves to pay for all of that expensive education and the student loans!

NEIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No student loan here. Paying cash all the way. At least it wasn't due all at one time.

My MBA program gave me a stipend and paid my tuition....

Hell, so did my Biochem program...
