I never wanted to make this thread, but I think it's fair, and in my best interest.
As some of you may know, I'm in my graduating year of my undergrad degree. In weighing out my options for the next chapter in my life, I'm coming up with several directions in which to take.
One of the more promising directions is a 12 month MBET program at the 'other' university in my city. The acronym stands for Masters of Business Entrepreneurship and Technology. I've always had an entrepreneurial spirit, and I've had my hand in trying to startup around six companies (none of them worth mentioning...they say it takes you 10 tries to get it right ). Also, this is a premier school, and a relatively new (but quickly expanding) program that offers a lot of networking experience with local businesses (think: RIM (blackberry)).
Another direction is to dive deeper into webdesign directly. Either applying to a local firm, or going to a graphic design school to learn further about design. Granted, I could also combine this with the MBET).
Here's the problem with the first direction:
It costs $26,000.
I don't believe that I could justify keeping two cars on the road if I went with the MBET. Either that, or I would have to start earning a lot more than I am currently. Being in school, however...I don't see that as being possible right now.
Sadly, I think the mustang would be the car I would have to kill, in this case. The Audi can go all year. The stang can't. I wouldn't want to do that to it.
Here's the second problem:
The mustang couldn't be saftied or e-tested and pass. By my calculations it will take $1500-2000 to get it where it needs to be for a sale. And by then, maybe I'll get $9k?
Therefore I would get around $7000 for selling the car, plus all the work it will take me (more money, and a whole lot of hours).
But then as soon as I get it running correctly, I won't want to sell it anymore
