A New Leaf

Happy New Year, all. I won’t pretend to think I’ll fulfill any pledge to work out three times every week or learn a foreign language. So I under-promise: I resolve only to answer the question “What next?”

Current options:

1. Buff up the resume with a few more years of experience as “Product Manager” at a well-known company. Not a bad option, all things considered. The work is interesting and fun, my team is top-notch, I’m proud of what we produce, and I learn something new every day.
2. Re-apply to law school. LSAT scores are good for five years.
3. Apply to some other graduate program. Finance, Information, Economics, some PhD program somewhere?
4. Start a business. Without a doubt my preference, but what to do?

In other news, Obama is going to send us all $500 checks, which is not necessarily the best way to stimulate the economy (more on that later), and gas prices are rising again. Also, stay tuned this week for a dive into the nuts and bolts of how the government is actually going about saving the banking industry’s collective bacon, and why we should probably thank them for their efforts.
