Do I have a chance at making it to graduate school?

[Drake Tungsten]

Let me know if you want an introduction to some professors at Columbia.

[KrazyHorse]

He's not interested in your sloppy second cougars.

[Drake Tungsten]

We need to get Kuci into a good b-school.

[KrazyHorse]

b-school's for people who already are on the way up and who need to pad their resume. he should work for 5-10 years beforehand if he doesn't want to do anything else (e.g. law)

[Drake Tungsten]

True.

Bankruptcy...

...typically does not discharge tort liabilities, unless you're Chrysler LLC. I'll just wait until you're loaded (and who are we kidding, you will be) before coming out of the woodwork.

[KrazyHorse]

Good luck collecting wage garnishment across the Atlantic.

Plus, there is a statute of limitations of 3ish years (depending on state). Once you file I can declare bankruptcy to stop you from receiving a judgment. Just have to make sure I party it up in the meanwhile so as not to leave any money on the table.

Of course, but supposing I file in two years and 350 days, a Chapter 7's automatic stay doesn't necessarily bar a tort suit as it would a creditor's contract suit. For example, I've seen people go bankrupt to weasel out of a debt only to be successfully sued for fraud in the inducement of the very same debt. Loopholes are beautiful things.

What you're really better off doing is buying a gold-plated mansion in Florida and owning no other assets, because that freak state's statutes make the homestead - any homestead - completely hands-off. If Madoff weren't on the hook criminally it would have been the way to go.

Googling around it seems as though bankruptcy usually works pretty well...

Meh, it seems like its not so much applicability of the stay as the likelihood of the bleeding-heart judge's granting relief from stay when a drooling quadriplegic Kuci gets rolled into the courtroom. Same difference.

[KrazyHorse]

I'll make sure that he's not around to present a pathetic figure. Corpses are always cheaper than survivors.

[Solomwi]

That's when Darius needs to bring in Kuci's parents, and bribe them to pretend they miss him.

[KrazyHorse]

He freed up 8 bathrooms when he died. I'll get them to admit that they like the extra sink space.

There are some doors opened by a PhD

Yeah, but only to the bar to drink your sorrows away

I've been there, done that and walked away. In hindsight the only thing I would change is starting the damn thing in the first place. Academia was never for me.
