USA, Canada / Getting job in U.S. with Polish degree [14]

Phtoa and MJD, both you guys make a good point.

@MJD, yes it would look better to get a degree from an American university, but again depends on the employer. My logic is that if I am going to study international business it might be wise to go outside the U.S. to get that degree. I did do some thinking and discussing with friends and family and right now after I recieve my M.A. I would have to spend another year and a half of schooling going for my American MBA but the economy seems a little too uncertain right now..

@Phtoa, ya thanks. Its actually just a M.A. but if I continue another year and a half like mentioned, I could get my American MBA...

Regardless I have alot of thinking to do. Just at that point where I want to quit studying and start working already :P

Law / Poland and the Euro - benefit for Polish economy? [49]

So sounds like in theory the Euro in Poland would work but then when you take into consideration the intangible stuff like for example corruption and greediness, mainly on the banks part (LIBOR), it would be tough to work...

USA, Canada / Shipping large quantity of Polish vodka to the US [14]

Merged: Vodka Shipping Poland to U.S.

My friend in the states wanted to me to ship him from Poland 4 bottles of bison grass vodka (Zubrowka). Anyone know if I can take that many to the poczta (and which one) to ship and how much shipping would cost?

Law / Why is Poland importing so much coal? [76]

yeah did some more research and figured it out for the most part.

"Between the 1990s and 2000s, the coal industry underwent major restructuring, which led to the early closure of many coal mines and a sudden decrease in production output. In fact, due to this restructuring process, Poland's coal production has spiralled into a steady decline. More recently, coal imports exceeded exports for the first time in history."

When this industry becomes more privatized as they claim, in addition to the new PGE deal, exports should probably rise in the future

Law / Does Poland have the most prehistorical and strictest banking system in the world? [57]

Merged: Banking Regulations in Poland stricter than in other countries?

I've heard that Poland's banking regulations are stricter than in alot of other countries. Can anyone give me some examples of banking regulations that are unique to Poland or at least different from many other countries in Europe or worldwide?

Work / 3500 PLN gross - not happy with my salary (working in Warsaw for an international company) [55]

Well if your not happy with the pay but love the job I suggest get a side job teaching english...

I taught when I lived in Warsaw for average just 8 hours for the entire week, while going to school, and made well over half your netto monthly. Find a language school and get paid 50zl an hour or offer private English lessons. There is a popular website where people offer private lessons (forgot the name) and post an ad there. You can charge 70+ zl for private one hour lessons.

Hope that helps

Life / What are my best options for buying a car? ( I am coming to Warsaw to study ) [7]

I also bought a car for my 2 years of studying in Poland. Bought mine in Germany... was pretty expensive to register in PL but half of that was because of the 3 liter engine :P If you can find a good buy in Poland then you can save some money but even most Polish mechanics will tell you to go west to buy. If you want, let me know your budget for a car you want to buy and I can recommend a few. I spent a while researching before I made my buy and just sold it for almost the same price.
