Hahahaha.... I had an interview with them two summers ago. I wasn't serious about taking the job because it seemed really fishy right from the start, but I went into the interview anyway for a sheer lack of anything better to do.

It was in a tiny apartment (the kind that's over a store on the ground floor) that was dark and had weird stains on the carpet and smelled like old food. Every wall was covered with posters of people talking about how much money they made, and how many scholarships they received and how many life skills they developed.

Turned out the job involved selling knives door to door. You know those annoying informercials you see, about wonder knives, that can cut cleanly through strawberries and steel alike? the job involved demonstrating that to as many people as possible, there was no hourly pay, you basically got paid if you got an appointment.

It was a group interview, so I excused myself about fifteen minutes in and didn't come back. They called about four times after to see if I still wanted the job. I don't think they get many applicants

Awful. Don't do it.

It's not owned 50% in terms of equity, which is why it won't appear under consolidation. It's more of a management contract (seats on the board of management etc) with equity ownership from the University.

Which is why Huzaifa is correct in terms we won't see any revenue coming in from the MUSC.

Fair enough. I assumed he was referring to an equity breakdown. Thanks!

I just saw the ad on Facebook 2 minutes ago. I think the OPR needs to break some knee caps.
