Just venting here...
What in the blazes does this mean? This is what has always frustrated me in studying the disciplines of management and marketing. Does this really mean something, or are we just trying to get our name on something that will be published?
"When vertical integration exists within a firm and when analysis of the industry structure and the core competencies varies among the activities in the value chain, segmentation analysis, which takes a loook at the competitive advantages that exist in the various segments, is often helpful."
Holy crab crayfish! A business buzzword tossed salad! Do I need to understand this, or just regurgitate it? |

Thank you!
This is part of CPA exam preparation.
Was the bar exam this bad? |

Ohhhh yeah ... not so much with the buzzword stuff, but property law (derived from fuedal times with a bunch of archaic terms) and ucc articles 3 and 4 (banking law, more or less) was an absolute bitch.
Hang in there --- when is the exam? |

4 parts
July 27 - passed, flying colors
August 28 - passed, flying-er colors
October 29 - score pending, not favorably anticipating
November 30 - currently trying to rationalize its inappplicability to the profession |

"Adverse possession"
Was that one of those archaic terms? I love that one.

If I am trying to kick your ass out, it ain't adverse. You have to be more sneaky and possess it without my knowledge. Either that, or I'm just too lazy to mess with you, then after 7 years, it's yours. The law seems to encourage dishonest gain.
My wife took the CPA exam about a year after I took the Bar Exam. From what I could tell, I would take the Bar any day over the CPA. CPA is brutal! My wife was a straight A student and it took her twice to pass all the parts. Good Luck! |

Yeah, I was shaky on the details of that section...that's the one I'm really nervous to get the results for.
I hear the CPA compared the bar often. Many people who've taken both say one's harder, others say the other. I guess it depends on personality. The CPA exam wasn't always able to be split into individual sections either. Until 2 or 3 years ago, candidates had to take all 4 parts in one shot. Talk about brutal!

Meh, I think it's more that property law favors use ... if you own land and aren't doing anything on it (living, working, growing stuff, etc.) AND you don't know someone else is living on it .... the law would perfer it go to the squatter, who is using the land.
In Maryland, the time is TWENTY YEARS to gain land by adverse possession.
Blackacre is a horrible place --- as is Whiteacre, Greenacre, and whateverthefuckelseacre is in the fact pattern. |

So happy I never have to sit for the exam again! Good luck! I still get sick to my stomach if I think about the testing center where the exam was held.
