chillaxin Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I'm an accountant working for KPMG, which is a big 4 accounting firm. I specifically work in the audit department, meaning I'm out at a client making sure that they're financial statements don't have material misstatements, so that when you invest in a company based on their 10-k reports filed with the SEC, you can rely on those statements because we audited them. We have a ton of clients, but a couple you might recognize that I've personally worked on are VCA Antech and Honda Motors, although I wish Toyota was our client instead :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wandawoods Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 I was from Taiwan, and turned US citizen in 94. I've been living in Atlanta for my entire American life so far. once was an architect for 5 years, specialized in computer aided design and drafting, then switched profession and became owner of a PC retail business for 10 years. however, since PC business in general turned non-profitable in earlier year 2K because the dominance of big guys like HP, Compaq, Dell, Gateway, Sony... I folded the shop and turned to eBay which was the best career move I've ever made. now, from my home office, I've been producing and selling high-end rack-mount servers (some linux clustered servers can cost more than an used Lexus) on eBay for 2 years and making a good living out of it. I also export a lot to Europe thanks to eBay listings. primary buyers are small ISP's, web hosts, data centers, and small business whoever want their own web/internet/database servers to be co-located. eBay is truly amazing! folks are selling and buying anything from 50 cents stuffs to $300K Lamborghini. I bought both my 94 LS400 and 96 SC400 from eBay in 1-week span! I also own a 98 ES300 (My mom is the primary driver), a 93 Mercedes 400SEL (Dad is driving it, and I must say LS400 is a lot better car!), 2 Nissans (Maxima/200SX), and 1 Toyota corolla. whopping 7 cars, you can imaging that paying insurance (close to $1K) every month is truly a nightmare because we also have to include 2 teenager drivers very soon! I can see we got bunch of good folks here, and I am glad I have jointed the club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris I arrived ATL from Taiwan in 85 to get my master in GA Tech. worked for an architecture firm for 5-years till late 91 when I started the PC retail shop. I got my green card in 88, then became US citizen in 94 (you got to wait 5-year min. after green card status to apply citizenship). eBay is truly a self-contained 'kingdom' on it's own! you got millions of sellers/buyers doing transactions 24x356. I was spectical at first, but now I am truly convinced it could be a GREAT business adventures for anyone if you knew how to do it! I sell and ship servers all-over US map! it's also global, I got lots of oversea buyers because of the ad effects of eBay listings! it's amazing that domestic and international buyers who never met you or phoned you can wire you $10K up front to buy a few servers! honesty, promptness, mainteining a good feedback profile are the keys to become truly profitable adventure.

93LSOwner Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Well, even it is a different year since the last post. I just wanted to respond to this post and also I have a LS not a ES [where this post is at]. I'm a freshman in college as a Pre-Med student majoring in Biology and minor in Genetics, in North Carolina. And became a U.S. citizen 2 months ago or was it last month! Don't remember [have been busy with school work] I bought the Lexus [well my parents did] because I went with Acura first and wanted something else, a Lexus. Because both of the cars are reliable, still have the Acura. But, I had no idea that Lexus is going to introduce me to LOC. B) 'Now I hope I get to live and pass my LS down to my childern'.

bdonkersgoed Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I am a coop student at the University of Waterloo in Ontario majoring in Actuarial Science. Waterloo is known to be one of the best Actuarial schools in the world. What is Actuarial Science, you may ask? Well, Actuarial Science is the complicated mathematics behind risk management. Most commonly, Actuaries are used in large insurance companies to determine the rates they are going to charge to match their exposures. They are the people that are making the rates rise so rapidly in Ontario :P But don't hate them . . . it's not their fault. They are only matching the rates to what the insruance company should expect to pay. Anyways, at the moment I am working downtown Toronto at an insurance company headquartered there. I will be returning to school in the Fall. Actuarial Science is very difficult, but rewarding. The Canadian jobs Almanac lists "Actuary" as the second-best job one can have, ranking just under "judge" (based on stress and compensation I believe).

steviej Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 thanks for sharing that Alan......you just made my day tomorrow seem all that much more fun. :chairshot: my dad recently retired and likes to do things like show up at my door with a fishing pole in one hand a tape player in the other playing the theme from the old Andy Griffith Show. His timing is impecable because I am usually just leaving for work. He says its payback for something....I don't listen at that point. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
