OK...so I'm not rich...yet. I started this blog from nothing. I had an idea that has already been done a thousand times over - yes, get rich online. Except, I'm not rich!

I'll keep you updated, but I have a high interest savings account with Charles Schwab that is paying roughly 4% interest. From that account, I have a brokerage account where I have money invested in a stock fund in gold/silver bullion.

I tried to post about other schools because I didn't want to be all about DO or all about OUCOM. But, I feel like I'm not doing my old stomping grounds justice. OU is located in Athens, which is about 70 miles Southeast of Columbus. You attend classes your first two years on the main campus of Ohio University. The next two years are spent at one of 12 CORE hospitals around the... Read Full Story
