Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

David, you know Phil is on The E! Hollywood Hold'Em show, right?
I saw him! Now I am only 1 link away from every unbathed young thing in Hollywood.
Dude, I used to live in LA...

That's a lot of money to shell out after only one seemingly successful phone interview. Shit.
Plus, the deadline is May 1st and it says you can pay a late fee (although I didn't see how much). I'd want more than just an interview before I forked over that much money.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Whoo for the good interview, but I agree them suggesting you shell out $1300 without an actual job offer seems rather crazy.

It's either a sign that the job's pretty much yours for the taking, or that the guy you spoke to is such an asshat as to think nothing of pushing candidates that won't get the job to spend that kind of dough because he wants whichever one he picks prepared in time.

Would you want to move to Florida if you didn't get this job, Wolfram?
FL is in my top 5 places to move, if I had to go. I wouldn't take a bar in most states just for the hell of it. But..
Or are you kind of looking everywhere in the country?
This. And I can't afford to register for 50 state bars on the off chance.
That's a lot of money, Wolfram. If they offerred you the job and you hadn't applied for the bar yet, would you be totally screwed?
Well, the hiring partner wants to push my candidacy forward, but won't do it unless I can show I'm serious about relocating to FL, and he pointed out that not being registered for the July bar means I may not take it until February 2006 and won't be admitted until May 2006. He strongly suggested registering to take the July bar now.
See, what I may do is send him a very professional letter, letting him know I'm committed to moving to FL, but asking him for other suggestions to demonstrate that without shelling out a $1,300.00 Nonrefundable fee. I'll also point out that I can register up until July 1 with "only" a $275.00 late fee, which gives us plenty of time to move forward, and also shows him that I researched this issue right away.

If I only had a brain...
That sounds like an excellent idea, Wolfram.

That's not so bad, especially in the context of how much you have to pay just to take the bar anyway.
Maybe I won't be the only one studying this summer...
