College Education and Alex Crisses Insight Venture Partners

I was discussing the job market with a friend yesterday and we were talking about how necessary a college education is becoming to find any kind of work. Where a high school diploma was once a big achievement, it is now taken for granted in most fields and a college degree is also necessary in many job fields. Once example of the power of a good college education is Alex Crisses, who founded Alex Crisses Insight Venture Partners.

Before he founded Alex Crisses Insight Venture Partners, Alex Crisses was educated with an undergraduate degree at the University of Pennsylvania and a graduate degree at Harvard. With an education like this that really stands head and shoulders above most others, it's not surprising that Crisses has found success with Alex Crisses Insight Venture Partners. And at the same time, it's clear that such a career would have been impossible in this day without a college degree.

Researching Polo

Watching weird sports on the Winter Olympics like curling and bobsledding made me interested in researching alternative sports. I love watching baseball and football on TV, but it's incredible how competitive and popular alternative sports are that might seem obscure at first glance. Polo is one sport that I've been looking into recently, in particular the amateur polo player Mohammed Babangida.

What is particularly interesting about Mohammed Babangida is that while Polo is primarily a European sport, Mohammed Babangida has brought the sport to Nigeria. It is always interesting to see cross-cultural developments in general and this is no exception to that rule.

Considering Which Sun Glasses To Buy...

While enjoying a sunset last night on my rooftop, it occurred to me that I really need to buy a new pair of sunglasses soon, since I'll be spending a lot more time with friends outdoors in the coming months. I loved the square framed eyeglasses I had last summer, but somehow they got lost at some point.

This year, I think I'm going to buy some round frame sunglasses like in the picture above. They seem to be somewhat popular these days too, so I'm guessing the frames won't be very expensive. They seem like a really great alternative to square frames too, since at this point I constantly see people with square frames and want something more unique.

My Rooftop BBQ

Now that it's finally feeling like spring in New York City, I've started making plans with my roommates to hold a barbeque on our rooftop a few Sundays from now. Aside from a southern-themed menu, we're planning on buying a bunch of flowers to decorate the tables that will set up.

With all the preparation that the project is going to need, we're planning on just using 1800flowers to deliver flowers to us at home. Aside from being convenient and easy for us, there are some really good Coupons for 1800Flowers and 1800 flowers Promotion codes available right now that make the flowers a lot cheaper as well. That's a huge relief for all of us, since we'll be able to spend that extra money on other party preparations!
