...probably won’t pursue i-banking as a long-term career. I might follow the typical path and work for a few years, get an MBA, and land a job where I can lead a semi-normal life. I don’t have much time to ponder my future, because within seconds of my head hitting the pillow, I’m fast asleep, preparing for yet another...

I suspect that Snakes will probably perform pretty much as most scare movies do - a big opening weekend followed by an alarming fall-off in its second and third weeks. I had a pretty good, regressive time at it - I've always kind of liked movies about airplanes...
