By Dr. James M. Dahle, WCI Founder The less you spend on medical school, the less likely you are to graduate with a massive debt that will affect your happiness, lifestyle, specialty choice, and job choice. Like college tuition, the average tuition for medical school has been skyrocketing in recent years. Despite two highly publicized “free tuition” schools, the vast majority of medical schools are expensive enough that if you pay for the entire thing (plus living expenses) with student loans, you will end up owing at least $200,000 after you're finished. This has become a yearly exercise where we take a look at the current costs of going to medical school. The American Association of Medical Colleges (the MD...
Steer Technologies is considering a proposed sale of 37.5% of its B2B marketplace for restaurants. The proposed $18 million transaction would value Restaurant Supply Business at $48 million on closing, Steer said in a Monday (Jan. 23) press release. “The confidence of the strategic investors in our Restaurant Supply Business model is very encouraging,” Steer CEO Suman Pushparajah said in the release. “The intended significant direct investment into the company is expected to speed up the growth and expansion of our Restaurant Supply Business, as well as support Steer’s business objective of disrupting the current way most restaurant owners procure the critical supplies required to run their business.” Restaurants are doing all they can to improve their inventory management and...
In my home this week, I am wondering how January came to be so very long! I know how many days there are and just where we are in those days, but it does seem like it's been about as long a month as August already. And we all know, August goes on and on and on...Anyway, I've been thinking January would just sail along as every month has since about last June, but no, it's dragged. I catch myself repeatedly checking the calendar to be sure it's truly just the day it is and not two weeks further down the road. I've been doing this since the first week. And it's not because January has been stressful. Just busy. Never mind. ...
Huevos Rancheros is a traditional Texmex dish that’s usually served for breakfast or brunch… or maybe even lunch. It’s a little bit like a breakfast taco in that it involves tortillas and eggs, but it also usually has ranchero sauce and beans too. This morning I decided to make it into a casserole instead, and let me just say… it was the right decision!This breakfast casserole takes the breakfast or brunch game to the next level. Plus, if you make the sauce ahead of time, like I did, it’s super quick and easy to toss the casserole together. The ranchero sauce, while it’s homemade, is really easy to make too and only takes ten minutes to cook up. I made...
THE PAIN IS REAL. None of us lives in Hearst Castle. Yet my natural gas bill shot from $44 to nearly $300 in the span of two months. Kay Kearney’s is projected to hit $368 in January — more than three times what she paid this time last year. And Burl Estes is staring down a $397 tab for having the audacity to keep warm. “It’s not sustainable,” said Kearney, whose home in Garden Grove is a modest 1,500 square feet. “We keep the thermostat at 68, when raining and cold. Turn off the heater when it’s nicer. With the current economic issues and inflation what are we to do? There is nowhere left to cut back.” We’ll talk about...
