But all I was met with was a rude generalization concerning my overall spelling ability and intelligence based on a completely unrepresentative mispelling (in passing) of a single, trivial word. You can't expect me to simply not retort. Your writing style is somewhat cryptic (Indeed, poetic -I think you will consider this a compliment?), and requires a bit more thought than simply taking it at face-value (minus the whole 'greatful - grateful' bit, that was unnecessarily facetious). I realize this now.
I don't expect respect for my contributions to the forum, because admittedly I know relatively little, but I do expect respect in the sense I won't be made to look stupid, when you yourself admit to making the occasional typo.
Ok, what are we talking about here? Typos? This is stupid. Lets forget it.
I appreciate your input Sharer and, with your last post, I now understand why you believe Honours should be considered - there is more to the world than money and an Honours course, while not necessarily resulting in better career prospects, will certainly give me a more enriching experience and understanding of my field. Thank you for your input and, if it means anything at all, I am actually leaning towards Honours at the moment for that very reason (still implementing 'core' finance papers however) but hopefully still secure an internship with one of the large professional firms.
