They really are remarkably insignificant relative to the question: Are you happy were you work and live (besides the fact of your dept being inside/outside 02138/9)? If yes, what the hell are you complaining about? You could be getting fieked in Syria, for pete's sake, so basically your life is good. If you are unhappy then move, and if it's to some LRM place so what? You have less stress and you can always visit good departments, go to conferences, etc. Still a whole lot better than some smelly guy fieking you, so stop whining. </p> http://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/bros-help-huge-crush-on-a-gorgeous-non-econ-non-phd-girl/page/2#post-303455 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:52:17 +0000 Economist 303455@http://www.econjobrumors.com/ <blockquote><p>this thread is a big joke.

There are other chains that are better with higher prices. The chains that are lower than that are more like the Chinese supermarkets in the US. In Australia you get mostly Aus or NZ made products. In the supermarkets I have checked in Singapore it is mostly China made or Malaysia made, including vegetables.<br /> As for the 3BR house 600k in Aus, what would the price be of the same house in Singapore? My guess is a few million dollars, and the could be other government charges that I do not know about, but it is possible that those would be pretty high, too.<br /> If I am correct, then the money you spend to buy a Hyudai in Singapore, would probably get you a really high end Merc. So the devil is in the detail, as the old saying goes.<br /> One should always do the complete calculations and make sure that one is informed. I think Singapore is also a nice place, if you can manage to save save and save while going by the bare necessities of life, you can save a whole fortune there in a few years. As for the direction of professional career, I don't have much idea, if you are intterested, you will need to look up the to 10 journals of how many papers have NUS affiliation mentioned. That information I do not have.</p> <blockquote><p>I strongly agree with e8db regarding the higher quality of life in AUS. Life can be very good in AUS, agreed.<br /> But, I disagree with the food price part: grocery prices in Australia are outrageous, at least in the supermarket! And, the question on returns is really: where do we expect the AUS dollar to be in, say, 5 to 10 years from now.<br /> I also don't see why schooling is better in AUS than in Singapore. True, there are some good public schools in the major Australian cities -- but, the problem there is location: usually, the good public schools are located in really expensive suburbs. With expensive, I am talking about 600-900k+ for a 3-bedroom house. And, of course, I am referring to G8 universities (located in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney Melbourne, and Adelaide) and not to periphery universities that may be located in the middle of nowhere.</p></blockquote> http://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/rise-of-planet-of-the-apes-brown-v-board-of-education-2#post-303435 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:37:15 +0000 Economist 303435@http://www.econjobrumors.com/ <p>this is witty racism that makes EJMR stand out. </p> http://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/fell-asleep-at-the-bar#post-303434 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:37:10 +0000 Economist 303434@http://www.econjobrumors.com/ <p>Did it hurted? </p> http://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/fell-asleep-at-the-bar#post-303433 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:37:05 +0000 Economist 303433@http://www.econjobrumors.com/ <p>I was just too drunk </p> http://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/bros-help-huge-crush-on-a-gorgeous-non-econ-non-phd-girl/page/2#post-303432 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:36:28 +0000 Economist 303432@http://www.econjobrumors.com/ <p>^Literally weeping for the ass backwardness of men cooking for broads these days.
