No and no. Separate bathrooms. Flats=apartments imo although estate agents prefer the word apartment, especially for more upmarket properties.

I guess you can't really call hall of residences flats but everyone here calls people their flatmates so that's what I went with. Horrendous TOTP imo

Some places only have separate bathrooms. Some places have shared ones. It depends on the uni and how much you pay. My uni only has rooms with separate bathrooms.

Separate bathrooms are nice. Right now I have five people sharing one shower. Can be annoying when they chain block me from using it.

1. If you're fortunate, you're in on what appears to at least be approximately the ground floor of a possibly-illegal scheme built partially upon government incentive opportunism. My immediate instinct is you may be endeavoring upon a project similar to the situation presented in Chip's Lithuanian plot detour in The Corrections.

2. If you're really fortunate, you're in on what appears to at least be approximately the ground floor of a completely legal and very pie in the sky company run by a chronic optimist.

3. If you're unlucky you've signed a retainer agreement that you probably cannot enforce given your nationality and/or the expense of doing so, and the likely "judgment proof" - read: broke - status of the company you're working for nearly guarantees that you will not be compensated or retained, and that there will be nothing for you to do about it.

I am, of course, a pessimist. I wish you the best and applaud your courage. I think you should be sure you leave college on good terms, though. May come in handy to go back.
My boss has a small company that he is looking to expand, and is heavily relying upon target community markets to be successful. He really can't afford (given his limited publicity at this point) to have someone publicly derailing him, calling him a scam artist, and pursuing him in court because he made a bunch of legal agreements that he couldn't uphold himself.

I have talked to legal consult myself who have said that the paperwork that I have signed does appear to be legally binding and legitimate, but yes, enforcing it if it is broken is going to be difficult considering one particular circumstance I cant mention here. (its not earth shattering or anything it just makes pursuing him legally very impractical and very likely not cost-efficient).

I will say this - if the guy is a scammer, then he has done a darn good job of creating a scam that he gets absolutely no benefit out of doing other being able to laugh at me that I fell for it.

If this doesn't work out in the summer, I come right back home and go right back to school next fall like nothing ever happened.

Examples:

http://www.varsitypainting.com/

http://opportunity.herbalife.com/

[selling steak knives door to door]

etc.
That is not how this business operates at all.

Just for the sake of saying it so you will all know, I am going to be starting out the manager of a store involved with green energy that may evolve into a franchised establishment.

Thats literally the full extent of what I can disclose without overstepping my limits.

Oh that makes perfect sense then, I'm always popping down to the store where the unskilled college dropout manager makes millions of dollars for some green energy.

Thats really insulting first of all -

Second of all entrepreneurship doesn't require a degree at all.

Just because you followed a set path in your life and may or may not have accomplished the goals that you want doesn't mean you should insult those who are taking a different approach.

Systolic I am rooting for you
02-18-2012 , 09:32 PM
U mad?

What was the insult, unskilled? That's pretty tame imo.

I followed the path of being a drunken idiot most of my adult life. I haven't finished college.

I'm not looking down on you, I'm having fun with you.

Lighten up Francis.

The sad thing is that you don't even know the beginnings of what my job actually will be.

I just told you the closest description I can without breaking my contract.

Furthermore, American degrees don't mean much of anything in scotland. My boss has a degree in Architecture from Southern Polytechnic, but that hasn't done him ANY good with regards to running his company.
