Is there a way I can transfer my Irish Leaving Certificate results into a comparisment in the netherlands?
I did my Leaving Certificate in Ireland in JUne 2008 and got 520 points. However, to people outside of Ireland this means nothing. I am thinking of studying in the Netherlands or maybe the USA but not as a transfer student, just as an international student... before I can even consider this I need to know if there is a place where I can get my scores of my Leaving Certificate transfered into the school sytem of the Netherlands and also the USA? Any help on this subject will be very much appreciate so please reply!

I have been invited several times to go on their trips. I went to a meeting about the Europe trip one time and it did not look like it was worth the money. Seemed very steep for you to be staying in some random persons home.

Business Week vs the Economist?


Business Week vs the Economist?
Which magazine should I choose? I'm an International Business student from the Netherlands, and I don't have much knowledge of the magazines. I am interested in investing, personal finance, marketing, marketing and especially in information for entrepreneurs. I don't have other choices than Business Week or the Economist, since other magazines are not available here. Thanks for the help. 10 points granted as soon as good answers are provided. Can I conclude from the first answer that the Economist is less about economics and business than Business Week? How about the quality of the articles; are the economic articles generally of higher quality in one of the two?

The Economist is a better magazine -- but the name is a little misleading. It is really an incredibly wide-ranging current events magazine, which covers economic issues -- but also politics, social issues, the arts... It does not really have information specifically for entrepreneurs (like marketing best practices, corporate strategy and so forth). If that is what you want, go with Business Week. (edit: Well, let me take that back. The Economist does have features on this kind of stuff sometimes ... but MAINLY it covers world news. Some of the Economists' special insert sections are awesome and SOMETIMES cover business strategy issues.) There are other magazines that are even more tightly focused on Entrepreneurial-type matters ... but I wouldn't know which to recommend. (edit) Just take a look at a few issues of both at the library (or browse current issues at a bookstore) and decide for yourself. Both are highly reputable. And even if you subscribe to just one, you can also consult the other at the library.

BusinessWeek is more general in scope and coverage. It includes articles on economic analysis, as well as happenings among corporations (mergers, spotlight on these corps). They cover more articles on stocks and investment, and even has info on small business and entrepreneurship issues. Economist is more technical and focused more on economic and political analysis, more than anything else. The articles are more in-depth, and if you want to understand how economics in real world operates, this is the magazine for you. Plus, they have more international coverage compared to BusinessWeek which is focused more on the US economy BusinessWeek is ok if you want to learn more about US economy and businesses, as well as more general info. If you want to know what's happening more outside of the US, then Economist is for you. If you can have both, so much the better. I subscribe to both, and they're always compelling reads
