Let's say for instance that you have a friend or co-worker who has ason/daughter who's interested in studying abroad (outside of the USA),in electrical or computer engineering.Where are the better schools?I'm guessing that schools in Germany and France would be superior toschools in the UK, but that's just a guess (mostly from the idea thatjust about anyone can call him/herself an "engineer" in the UK).True? False?Michael

Nah, most EU foreigners I work with in the US came from UK schools. Pretty darn good, I'd say. Solid theoretical background.Germany has good ones as well but they are also tough. They had (have?) the two-strike law: Fail a test twice and you are out, in my days banned from any university there for the same career path. Maxwell's stuff almost got me. About 75%-80% of students at my university (RWTH Aachen) did not make it into engineering because they either threw in the towel or got "weeded out".Also, while this is an excellent way to become multi-cultural and all that, if they ever want to eye a job that requires a P.E. I guess you can pretty much forget the whole thing. Advisers rarely tell people that but I believe it can become a huge obstacle. So for civil engineering I'd personally not do that. Unless you want to work abroad since that kind of red tape doesn't exist in most other countries.-- Regards, Joerg

EE educations, worldwide?

Yeah, but he didn't have 16 employees. The government would rather destroy a business, and have all the people go on unemployment, than to allow "family wealth" to remain un-double-taxed.

Yeah, but most of it is Foster's.

That is quite uncivil, you have Bud, the fake one.

But the Land of Oz is expecting temperature increases of 5C in the near future, and has serious water shortage problems, so a place to miss, unless you bray......

Oh, Bud is certainly swill. It's reportedly brewewed from rice, which would make it not even beer. But Foster's is pretty bad too, at least the version they ship here. Some of the aussie wine is quite good, but I hear they play games with it. Like if they want "oak", they shovel in a bunch of wood chips.

Why is it expecting +5C? Are their weather forcasters better than ours? Ours can't predict the weather 12 hours from now.

You are getting the picture. No go talk with an financial planner and an estate lawyer. Just to clarify your particular picture and get study materials. And be careful until you make some better arrangements.
