i can understand how if you don't see the price you won't necessarily get turned off by the menu. in the days of olde - if there weren't prices you would assume that it was really expensive but that's not the case anymore. as for hte whole business school thing - i know that for myself - it's helpful to have some background in business but you don't necessarily need it to be successful in what you do i think that online networking has become a great tool. my realtor is someone that i linked up with online because i'm not in the state that my property is in - and it's a life saver cause i don't know what i would have done otherwise
