Tom's Story
I really don't know where to start. After high school, I went to UCA for just a short time and then dropped out. I guess I was having too much fun and not enough study time. I worked for about a year at an investment firm and decided it was about time to go back to college. I attended UALR while working at night for UPS. I eventually completed my bachelor degree in 1992. I know what your thinking, wow he must really be dense to take that long. I still debate that issue with myself. : )
Having acommplished my B.A., I thought I would torture myself and go to grad school at the U of A. It was there I completed my M.A. in Economics in 1994. Wanting even more torture, I applied to Boston College to enter the Ph.D program in Economics and was accepted. I started the program in the fall of 1994 and soon decided that I did not want to spend another 4 years in college. So I switched programs and completed a M.S. in Finance at Boton College in 1996.
After leaving Boston College, I moved t...Expand for more
o New York City and started working for JP Morgan Chase Investment Bank. I worked there for about a year and decided to move on. I came back to Arkansas and have been working for a finance company in Little Rock. I have been here for about 11 years, but I will soon be out of a job. My company is a subsidiary of GM which is loosing so much money that it is rediculous. So when that happens, the company starts laying off which will impact me come December 2008.
My current plans are to move back to Boston and search for a job there. If I have no luck in Boston, I will then move to New York City.
As for my personal life, I am still single. I have never married. I blame it on being to consumed with making a career for myself. However, truth be told, I think it is a little shyness, that has kept me from finding a long term relationship.
So I look forward to see what happens in the future. I look forward to hearing from any classmates. I can also be found on Facebook (which is free)
