I feel like if I make a choice then less drama will ensue. We'll see though.

^^Now you have 99 more, enjoy.
And Scott, thanks for the advice. That's what I've been doing but it's starting to stress me out at times so I figured I'd seek advice.
edit: now I'm beating you Funkdoobie

Been dating a girl for a while.. it's kinda serious but we moved to different cities in the middle of it and she doesn't want to be in an "official" relationship if we're living in different cities. So, technically I'm single but sometimes I feel like I'm in a relationship. Fast forward, now I'm dating another girl at the same time, who lives in the same city as me. I told her I don't want anything serious but I could see it going in that direction. How do I juggle this shit without getting in trouble with both of them? Or am I fucked? Need some advice sufu.

That guy sounds like he just did .25(A)+.25(+.25©+.25(D)=.4, which doesn't make sense at all in this case. This is more of a logic question than it is an actual math question.. if you choose A or D (25%), the answer is actually 50%, but if you choose B (50%), the answer is actually 25%.. and so on and so forth. It oscillates between 25% and 50%.

Hah I just got caught up on the multiple choice thing for like 20 minutes. That's Russell's paradox right blm?

I was just saying that a technical degree is much more important than a business degree. Business acumen can be learned easily while on the job, whereas highly technical skills can't. I totally agree with you in not understanding how a dual degree wouldn't help. As far as staying longer and missing summer internships, etc, graduate in 5 years and load up some summers while interning other summers.
Also, at your MBA question, if you have a BBA in finance, an MBA is pretty pointless. I have sat in on numerous MBA courses at two Ivy League schools and they were both on par with my undergrad finance courses in the speed at which the material is taught, as well as the difficulty of the assignments/tests. From what I see every day (I'm at an Ivy right now getting an MS), the MBA students don't work that hard, network a lot, have time to go out, etc, whereas everybody in any technical program is doing 70-80+ hours a week just for class/studying/homework.

Your friend has a good thing going. Statistics is very desirable nowadays, especially applied stats, and you can get some very interesting jobs with those skills.
As far as the math involved in a CS degree goes, I don't know the specifics as I don't have a degree in CS. I think the bare minimum you should take for any quantitative job though is calc 1, calc 2, linear algebra, and probability.. personally though, I think it's good to tack on multivariate calc and diff eq if you're ambitious. That is a well rounded suite of math courses that will let you do most anything you need.
Lastly, when you look at finance, don't just think "omgz I can make so much money" like so many young kids do. There are a lot of people in finance who don't make tons of money, and from my experience the amount of money people make in finance (or anything actually) is proportional to how much they work/how much effort they put in.
And yeah, despite what some people may tell you, pedigree matters.

Investment finance is becoming completely CS based nowadays Gauntlet. If you double majored in CS/BBA (finance?), you would have the financial acumen to apply your CS skills (your actual applicable skills) at a financial firm, which = $$$ right now.
That being said, most of the banks/trading firms/hedge funds/etc don't give a shit how much you know about corporate finance, financial theory, etc. They just want you to have the math, programming, and problem solving skills to build algos and trade with them.

Gauntlet, I have a BBA in Investment Finance.. if you want to go work on Wall St, get an undergrad degree in CS, Applied Math, Operations Research, Physics, or a double major in 2 of those. CS + Applied Math from a top school is pretty killer to get into a trading/quant role right out of undergrad.
Plus, I've said this previously in this thread, but majoring in one of those will open a multitude of other opportunities in case you don't want to be in finance by the time you graduate.

I just took a 71 page midterm. I think this is the most mindfucked I've ever felt.

^Dude Founders Harvest is SO fucking good. I had a few of them less than a week old and totally loved that stuff. And yeah, Alpine is worth obsessing over

Surly didn't live up to the hype for me.. I never really like the hops they use. Heady Topper was definitely tasty, a little maltier than I expected but still good. Favorite IPAs nowadays are still Alpine and HF though.

I haven't been drinking on weeknights for a few weeks now, but I got cans of Heady Topper and Surly Wet in the mail today. Can't resist cracking open one of each

^Yeah I dunno if 2 weeks is even enough for some of us. Personally, it really depends on when this thing gets to me if I will be able to do something in 2 weeks or not.

^Yeah I was very surprised honestly. It was my first Marin beer and I didn't really now anything about the brewery.. had it right after a 2003 De Cam Oude Lambiek and it was waaaay better than the De Cam in my opinion.

^Still need to try that stuff. Youkinorn and I were at a small tasting last night, got in on a bottle of Marin Cuvée Roge from GABF this year. That stuff was amazing, wish bottles were easier to come by.
