#Executive Master in Finance Program

[pxgeturner]

keep you safe. keep you mine.

ghostface!miguel o'hara x reader. prologue.

you're a junior in college and you have a totally awesome boyfriend in the master's program. a girl from your school is murdered and your boyfriend is there to make sure you feel safe (college/uni!au as if its not obvious)

an. I've had this idea in my head for like a month. executive dysfunction is a little bitch so i've onlyy been able to sit down n write this today. I wrote part of it a work but most of it within the last hour. (it’s currently a bit past midnight on the first of october) which if u have been here for a while, know that’s v surprising for me. i really wanted this to be posted on the first of the month but what can u do. i’m just gonna queue it atp. this isn't very action packed bcz it's just a prologue. but im soooo excited. also, r is latina coded but can be read from any ethnic standpoint. also this has not been proofread.

warnings: r has a panic attack, mentions of death (slightly graphic description of a dead body)

wc. 1.2k

you can’t change the channel. you don’t know why. but you can’t. a girl from your university was killed just about an hour ago. you were going to turn on the run of practical magic that started about half an hour ago. you just keep watching the news-lady rehash the same information over and over again. the killer all but turned the poor girl inside out. she’s in your finance class. you worked on a group assignment with her. she’s one of those girls who tries to maintain the hierarchy of high school in college. which is total bullshit, you’re third years for crying out loud! she’s passive aggressive, sure, but she should’ve had so much more time to grow. so you’re sitting there. bundled in blankets, not able to press the button on the remote. 

PING! 

something hits the sliding glass door to the back porch. you don’t want to become chopped liver. so you stay in your seat. a few minutes pass, you think, and no more noise, so you turn back to the tv. 

thud thud. you ignore it, keeping my eyes on the screen. 

then my cell starts to ring. you jump in your seat, and search for it, lost in the blankets. It’s miguel. you pick up the call. 

“hey mickey, you scared me.”

“sorry, baby. mind opening the door? It’s a little fresh out here?”

“the slide door?”

“yeah,”

you untangle myself from the blankets and approach the glass. you turn on the outside light, and it’s him. you unlock the door and let him in. he kisses your cheek as he comes in. “hey, angel,”

“hey yourself,”

“where are your parents?” you shut the door

“concert, pop surprised mama with tickets to a merengue singer. gloria something.”

he nods and comes in to hug you. “how’s your night been angel? The news is on? why’s it still playing?” he strokes your hair “you know if you keep watching this fear mongering shit it’s gonna just make you anxious, baby.”

“yeah…” you melt into him, feeling safe with your big strong boyfriend here. “can you stay the night?”

“’course baby. anything for my sweet girl.” he leads you back to the couch, “what do you want to watch?”

“practical magic, but it’s already running.”

“don’t you have the dvd?”

“OMG YES” you jump out of your seat and dash over to the tv stand, opening the dvd stash drawer. “HERE IT IS” you wave it around in triumph before inserting it into the player. 

once you’re back on the couch your boyfriend goes “if you have it on dvd why would you watch it on cable?”

you pout at him “it felt special. like they were playing it just for me. it was the perfect time.”

he shakes his head and chuckles, “you’re just too cute, baby.”

… 

“she talked shit about you, y’know.” gwen says after she tossed a penny into the fountain. 

“what?” the two of you start walking to the dining hall

“that girl, ava whatever? she was in my drawing class after your finance class with her. she like, thought you were obsessed with her.”

you stop in your tracks. “wait. what the fuck?”

she steps back and turns to face you. “yeah. i didn’t tell you because i figured if she never said anything to your face it wouldn’t be a big issue.”

“ok…” this is confusing “a: what did she say and b: why are you telling me this?”

“she said you’d stare at her. and that you look like you look like a… what did she say?… ‘a brainless mutt’ and other shit. she only said shit like that a couple times. and i ripped her a new one both times.” she gestures for you to keep walking. you realize today they probably have pizza and she wants to get there before they run out. “i’m telling you this so you don’t feel too bad. she wasn’t some innocent soul, she was a bitch. you’re so nice. but i don’t want you wasting your emotions on her.”

you think about all this information as you two walk. you never really liked ava. she totally thought of herself as a queen bee, and that’s so icky. the class you had together is tiered with semi-circular layout. you sat at one end, and she did at the other. when you space out, you guess it might seem like staring, but, like. what the hell?

and then you see miguel. he’s in a booth with peter, mj, and miles. you and gwen go up to the table.

“hey, angel”

“hi mickey,”

“they have soup, got some for you. cranberry juice too.” your favorite food and your favorite juice? he’s heaven.

you smile so big it almost hurts.

“did you get me food?” gwen asks miles

“i- uh, didn’t know what you wanted,” gwen glares at him– it’s a joke but when you’re on the other end it doesn’t feel like it. “-but there’s plenty of pizza left! i haven’t gotten food yet. i wanted to wait for you.” gwen smiles and offers him her hand. the two of them leave and you slide into the booth, next to miguel. 

“how was break?” peter asks. 

“it was good! love being with my family as usual.”

“and miguel, i’m sure,” mj winks playfully. 

“i was at my parents house!”

“and miguel went over every time you offered.” peter says before taking a sip of his coffee. 

“he’s so in love with you. it’s an obsession.” mj jokes. 

miguel drapes his arm round your shoulder exaggeratedly. “gotta keep my girl safe, there’s some freaks who’d want to hurt her.” you elbow him lightly to tell him to stop joking like that. 

somewhere along the line after gwen and miles get back, the subject changes to them trying to convince you and gwen to go to graduate school. 

“you’re so smart! You could study classical literature! or ethical studies! or ethnic studies! genders studies.”

“oh my god parker please stop throwing studies in my face. i’m so happy y’all are having a good time in the master’s program. and i’m so glad that miles is planning to go do that kind of path too,” you lean back, head supported by miguel’s arm. “i just have no desire to be a career academic. by the time i graduate i’ll have spent seventeen years of my life on education. After i get that diploma i just want to write.”

“and that’s exactly what you’re gonna do, doll.” 

a few days later, and the weekend has arrived. you’re in miguel’s room, a tim burton film playing as you two cuddle. 

the movie gets drowned out by the sound of an alarm, coming from your phones. it’s an emergency alert from the police. someone else has been found dead. someone from your school. your breath turns shallow and a lump forms in your throat. you’re crying. you can’t breathe. everything is blurry. your chest feels heavy. miguel holds you, whispering in your ear reassurances. he’d never let anyone touch you. you’re safe. nothing bad is ever going to happen to you. he’s here to protect you. 

thank god you have miguel to protect you from everything evil outside.

Is a Business Management Diploma Your Pathway to Career Success?

Decades ago, the primary focus when starting a business was managing finances. However, today, the landscape has evolved significantly. Now, the focus extends beyond managing finances to overseeing systems and processes for efficiency, navigating diverse client relationships, leading teams to achieve collective goals, and optimizing overall business productivity. While a business leader may naturally acquire some of these skills over time, mastering management requires specialized expertise. This is why many invest their resources in management training courses.

Whether you're an aspiring, new, or seasoned manager, we will explain why investing in a Business Management Diploma  is a valuable decision today.

The Value of a Business Management Diploma

A Business Management Diploma is invaluable in today's dynamic business environment that strives for agility, adaptability, and strategic acumen. It provides a comprehensive understanding of key business operations, including finance, marketing, HR, and strategic planning. This credential serves as a springboard for career growth, offering pathways from entry-level positions to executive leadership roles and entrepreneurship. Graduates gain essential skills, leadership development, and networking opportunities, empowering them to excel in diverse professional settings and drive organizational success.

How can you nurture your management expertise?

Continuous learning and skill development are essential for managers to stay effective in their roles within an organization. Undertaking a basic long-term course like a degree or a shorter program such as a diploma or certificate in Management can provide clarity on one's position and responsibilities within the organization. Choosing a reputable academic destination is crucial, with respected institutions in countries like the UK, USA, Australia, and India offering globally recognized degrees using innovative teaching methods. These methods now extend to online education, allowing individuals to study around work or home commitments without compromising quality.

Leading course providers in the UK, like EDVORO, offer many programmes, from diploma courses to comprehensive degree programs, through their innovative online learning platform. If you are ready to embark on senior management positions, consider EDVORO's Diploma in Management online for a high-quality education to kickstart a successful career.

Whoa there hold on. Capitalism and America's relationship with art and profit does not come down to Economists only. Our role in why profit maxxing (what this post is talking about, aka beating that dead horse until it stops spitting out money) became default/obsession is *not* small but we aren't the source from the top of these existing and dominating companies. Private sector economists typically get hired to do the dirty work; when they tell us to find the profit maximizing strategy, we do the analysis and interpret the conclusion in a meaningful way, and provide reasonable next-steps. Many also study poverty, international trade, why some countries are poorer than others, welfare participation rates and how to *increase participation* for those that qualify and don't take it, labor and wage stagnation, education (my specialty), crime, insurance, exchange rates, etc.... We *know* how to profit maximize with spread sheets sure, but we are a quantitative social science. We study human behavior through the lens of data and mathematics, but it must toe the line between numbers and human behavior. This is our role in the humanities.

There are different schools of thought and essentially political alignments within our field as well, such as the famous Keynes vs Hayek debate (post WW2) on degrees of government intervention in times of economic crises, and we even have slang for these debates that have existed for a while (google Fresh water vs Salt water economics; these are nicknames based on locations of universities). Notably, many economists are trying to increase the diversity and perspectives that exist in the field right now.

If you want to look at CEO education, here's source:

https://www.study.eu/article/the-academic-backgrounds-of-the-worlds-most-powerful-ceos

https://www.forbes.com/sites/kimberlywhitler/2019/10/05/new-ceo-study-the-undergraduate-degrees-and-majors-of-fortune-100-ceos/

I commonly see economists being confused as the only ones driving where the economic culture goes, but there is a reason Finance, Business, and Accounting majors are different degrees than Economics: we all actually do very different things. We simply frequent similar topics and areas of expertise. Note that in the source above, those with a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) are the majority (54%) in North American CEOs. Believe me, there are plenty of economists that notice and don't like the way things are going, and yes, even in the arts. My undergrad was in music before I pivoted to Econ for my masters; at the very least, I notice.

The common joke within the field is we get hired and then ignored. I've heard multiple stories from my professors being hired to analyze a situation, finding a way that maximizes everyone's welfare, presenting it, and they say "Wow thanks! Here's your payment, we won't be doing that. :)"

Note though that artists *do need money*. At some point you need income to cover your costs and to be fairly reimbursed for your labor. You even deserve to make a profit if people like your work so much! The problem is when this is taken to the extreme by unrestrained companies and their executives that will cost-cut and extract every last penny of consumer surplus in the market, leaving poor quality products for a high price. Those profits then don't get used in efficient ways that benefit their employees. Generally, this is characteristic of a market failure, when regulation needs to step in (part of econ theories btw). America doesn't uhhh do that these days, and you can look at econ and political history to verify this.

Disregard for the arts is something that is not isolated to the business adjacent fields, but I believe it is cultural. Arts programs have been decreasing in public schools for a while in the States, so it shouldn't be surprising this is where it ends up. Fundamentally, we need to start prioritizing something else than profit margins for top companies as an indicator for general welfare in a country... something some economists have been pushing for for a while now.

The world is vast and complicated and nuance exists; its disregard will be a disservice to you and others. Hope this helps.

Sincerely, an Econ PhD student.

Why the media CEOs will always learn the wrong lessons

Yesterday a friend and I talked about how the entire (AAA) game industrie looked at BG3 being as popular as it is and going: "Oh, we need to produce 100+ hour games, I guess! Those sell!" Which... obviously is not why it is popular. The game is not popular because it has 100+ hours of gameplay, but because it has engaging characters, that are well-acted and that work as good hooks for the players. Like, let's face it: The reason why I so far have sunken 160 hours into this game is, because I wanna spend time with these characters - and because I wanna give them their happy endings.

But the same has happened too, just a bit earlier this year, right? When Barbie broke the 1 billion and every Hollywood CEO went: "Oh, so the people want movies based on toy franchises! Got it!" To which the internet at large replied: "... How is that the lesson you learned from this?"

Well, let me explain to you, why this is the lesson they learn: It is because the CEOs and the boards of directors at large are not artists or even engaged with the medium they produce. They mostly are economists. And their dry little hearts do not understand stuff more complex than numbers and spread sheets.

That sounds evil, I know, but... It is sadly the truth. When they look at a successful movie/series/game/book/comic, they look at it as a product, not a piece of art or narrative. It is just a product that has very clear metrics.

To them Barbie is not a movie with interesting stylistic choices that stand out from the majority of high budget action blockbusters. It is a toy movie with mildly feminist themes.

Or Oppenheimer is not a movie to them with a strong visual language and good acting direction. No, it is a historical blockbuster.

And this is true for basically every form of media. I mean, books are actually a fairly good example. In my life I do remember the big book fads that happened. When Harry Potter was a success, there was at least a dozen other "magical school" book series being released. When Twilight was a big success there was suddenly an endless number of "teen girl falls in love with bad boy, who is [magical creature]" YA. When the Hunger Games was a success, there were hundreds of "YA dystopia" books. Meanwhile in adult reading, we had the big "next Game of Throne" fad.

Of course, the irony is, that within each of those fads there might have been one or two somewhat successful series - but never even one that came even close to whatever started the fad.

Or with movies, we have seen it, too. When Avengers broke the 1 billion (which up to this point only few movies did) the studios went: "Ooooooh, so we need shared universe film series" - and then all went to try and fail to create their own cinematic universe.

Because the people, who call the shots, are just immensely desinterested in the thing they are selling. They do not really care about the content. All they care about is having a supposedly easy avenue of selling it. Just as they do not care about the consumer. All they care about is that the consumer buys it. Why he buys it... Well, they do not care. They could not care less, in fact.

So, yeah, get ready for a 20 overproduced games with a bloated 100+ hours of empty gameplay, but without the engaging characters. And for like at least 15 more moves based on some toy franchise, that nobody actually cares about.

And then get ready for all the CEOs to do the surprised Pikachu face, when all of that ends up not financially successful.

Really, I read some interviews yesterday from some AAA-studio CEOs and their blatant shock and missing understanding on why BG3 works for so many people.

Because, yeah... capitalism does not appreciate art. Capitalism does not understand art. It only understands spread sheets.
