Taking a break | Fazer uma pausa
For some time now i haven’t been doing as much work as i wanted. There are several reasons for that, but i guess in the end it all ends up in fatigue. I’ve been worried about getting funding for my MA, i’m not delivering anything new here, and some things have just stopped working. Not [...]

I understand perfectly your point of view, but you're in a different reality. I'm from Portugal, and things work differently around here. Colllege education was almost free 15 years ago when i entered the university, it's another ball game. But on...
Not to beat you over the head with this, and this will probably be my last comment, but almost everyone pays for grad school with a scholarship or loan. You're trying to get a sort of scholarship which is good, everyone should try that first. I ju...
I have to say i hate loans, and i have been avoiding them. I'll be honest and say i just analyzed a few options regarding loans and not that deep. Thanks for your input, it was really helpful. Have fun at Camden Yards
Yes - I do wish you luck.
Student loans generally do not require collateral and are betting on your future earnings as they are not repaid until after graduation and there is often a six month grace period. They do often require a co-signer who w...
Loans are not possible right now, i don't have a steady job and banks are not charity. I thought about it but i'd have to drag my parents into it, and they make less than 1000 dollars per month...together. Different countries, different situations...
If you can find a sponsor, great. But it looks like it's a two year program at about 20,000 USD a year, which is not a lot for grad school - at least not in the US.
If you got a loan and repaid it over 20 years, you'd probably pay $200-300 USD a ...

#cfund debate: New business models for media Thursday February 18th
Through out this Thursday, starting around 10am GMT (London, Lisbon time) we’ll be discussing New Business Models for online media. And we do not want to discuss just the transition from traditional to online media and their revenue sources, but how money can be made online by independent bloggers and journalists too.
We all know that the news industry is facing its most difficult and exciting times, and the purpose of this debate is not to complain about how hard… Continue
