Last month, on the topic of career education, we wrote a post that included “The One-Year, Self-Directed, Alternative Graduate School Experience“. That post was meant to help deepen your knowledge, this one should help you broaden it.
Every year, US News produces a list of the top universities. None of the names on the top of the list will come as a surprise, we’ve all heard of them and they represent the most prestigious universities in the world. Many of them are Ivy League schools, but not all. Aside from being expensive, they all have something else in common. All ten offer free course work to the general public.
Investment Taxation
Any investor who wishes to invest profitably must understand the basic effects of taxation on investment returns. The very word “Taxation” to some, brings about very specific thoughts and emotions. For myself, if there were no definite structure or goals to my writing, I could easily spend a week convincing the reader of the evils of modern taxation. For your sake, I’ll save that for another day when I have no other brilliant ideas that will help you get ahead in life. It’s enough to know in the beginning that whether taxes are paid in the beginning, or end, the amount of tax taken from any gains will obviously affect investment returns and must be taken into consideration.
