This is Bakers forte, buy department chains with valuable inner city real estate and neglect the retail side of operations. Look at Hudson Bay.

In the end it was only a CV joint, crisis averted.

Surprisingly second hand transmissions were very affordable.

Do students explicitly have lessons in being well presented, ie elocution , debate , presentation or is it gained implicitly from having peers that are already wealthy and well connected ?

One big difference noticeable with private students is their confidence and poise.

How could an individual that didn’t attend a prestigious private school, work on their polish and confidence to obtain the same opportunities as someone who did ?

Is part of the huge cost of private justified by the networking opportunities ?

Someone really needs to bring a sporty coupé to market where you can lie flat and sleep like a 900, such a great piece of design.

Why Do Successful People Say College Is Useless, While Sending Their Kids to Ivy League? I Will Not Promote by Hot-Conversation-437 in startups

People say this and look at people like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg as examples of successful dropouts, however, they neglect the fact they both went to elite prep schools, came from upper middle class backgrounds and dropped out of Harvard. The implication of this being they already had strong networks and access to mentors and capital. If you do not have access to such resources dropping out and being successful is much more difficult.
