    Thoughts on Chance the Rapper and Danny Brown? Here's some stuff if you've not heard these two guys.

    Chance has released both his album and mixtape for free btw. I think he's quite different, his voice is kinda love/hate, and I don't imagine a lot of people into older hiphop would like it. Regardless, I think he brings something new to the table.

    Danny Brown is pretty good, I've not really formed much of an opinion on him yet.

    I sort of skimmed over the last few pages and noticed not much love for Kendrick Lamar, who in my opinion is the best rapper right now. I'll post what I believe is his best song, if you don't like it, then he's quite clearly not for you.

    Can I have a source for those figures please?

    I played on PS4 at my friends house a few days ago and I got bored. But this is almost entirely because of the lack of games currently available, as of yet I don't see the hype around the next-generation. Graphics are better but nothing that blew my mind, I'm sure this will improve as this console generation matures.

    I've not had a chance to play Xbox One, but I don't imagine there will be much visual difference between the two consoles. I can hardly ever tell the difference between 720 and 1080, nor do I notice any changes above 30 fps. I think the major problem is that when these figures are released people will convince themselves that the PS4 looks better than the Xbox One without making the decision for themselves. A somewhat quantitative measure on a qualitative measurement.

    I'm almost certain I will buy the PS4, but something at the back of my mind tells me that it's not all about graphics... I will wait longer and see how it pans out, in particular the online aspects of the games. Besides, the only game that interests me is The Division, and that's not out until the end of 2014 at least.

    So then why would you want to become a veterinarian? Not only is it demanding, but like I said it takes 10 years worth of schooling, give or take.

    10 years of learning is better than 10 years of being stuck in a dead-end job.

    Analog, I'm unsure of how it is in America, but Veterinary Medicine is a highly competitive field in the UK, and only the highest calibre students are selected to undertake the degree. Often they require pre-qualifications equivalent to that required for medical and dental degrees, as well as undertaking a rigorous application process.

    Unless you want to do a specific profession (law, medicine, dentistry etc.), the degree can be irrelevant. There are many companies out there who hire based on the fact that you simply have a degree, and do not care what the specialty of that degree is. I know people with Biology degrees working in management.

    Surgeons are narcissistic egomaniacs and many of them suffer from some form of psychosis

    I really should've been a surgeon.

    People you've only met only once are willing to let you cut them open, placing their lives' in your hands. The power (and responsibility) is amazing.

    I have a BSc. (Hons) Medical Biochemistry and am currently in my second year of graduate medicine, so I've been in higher education for 5 years now. After this I want to be a surgeon, hopefully trauma and orthopedics but plastics also interests me.

    An artist never works a day in his life, because his job is his hobby. Surgeons are narcissistic egomaniacs and many of them suffer from some form of psychosis, but they enjoy what they do, and that's what I want out of my career.

    I wholeheartedly agree with the things that Cuda and QD have written about education. Do not think that what you are learning is necessarily applicable to your life or career. However, you will adapt the way you think and your thought process will change. From this, you will become smarter and better at most things you do. In my opinion, that is the true achievement of education. This is not to say that you need education to think this way, but it certainly helps.

    You won't make money right out of college with any job, that's a given. It takes years upon years of learning and working. However, despite what you say, banking and the economy is never going away. Sure, the market took a hit in 2008, and now it's bouncing back. People are once again investing, we have more and more people entering the world and an entire new generation on the way. The market will always take its hits and then bounce back. Finance and investing is a great field to work in as long as you know what you're doing.

    This is not necessarily true. Some of my friends have gone straight into high paying jobs, mostly through graduate or training schemes. Some law firms will pay trainee solicitors upwards of £30,000 per annum. My friend is currently training as a store manager for one of the large supermarket companies, and she has started on £26,000, within 2 years she will become a store manager. Store managers can earn anywhere between £40,000 to £100,000+ depending on the size of the store.

    Some evidence: http://www.hrmagazine.co.uk/hro/news/1016883/tesco-graduate-recruits-earn-figures-age

    If you're looking to make money straight after college and don't give a fuck if your job sucks, then there are definitely opportunities out there.

    Just look at the current price and compare to both the lowest and highest prices, the closer the current price is to the lowest price and the farther it is from the highest price, the greater the potential gain. I've been investing $30mil+ for each character, playing the game a bit, and then selling to make $10mil+

    Admittedly my gum to tooth ratio when i smile isn't attractive. Like Cyan i refused to get a mortgage out for braces.
    I aren't even going to bother getting my wisdom teeth removed. They don't hurt when I eat, and help when I eat tough/hard stuff

    You shouldn't remove your wisdom teeth unless they are pressing on a nerve anyway, not worth the risk.

    When getting gold on the shooting range (for 25% discount at ammunation), the third pistol challenge is probably the hardest.

    To complete, do the following:

    Select the third tier automatic pistol, when the target is active STRAFE with it. You are not fixed to your position, and your strafe speed is almost the same speed as the moving target, this allows you to get multiple 300-score hits. For each strafing run you should use a single clip of ammunition. It may take a few attempts to get it right, but it is by far the easiest way to complete this challenge.

    When you're doing missions for Lester with Franklin, he will tell you which companies are going to be affected following your actions (or rather assassinations).

    If you want to know which companies to invest in following which mission:

    First mission: betapharmaceuticals investment

    Second: Debonaire

    Third: iFruit

    Fourth: Gold Coast Development
