To accommodate these clients, we have properties specifically for men or women (in addition to mixed units).while we still offer "academic year" and annual leases, most of our room rentals are month-2-month.  

The same is true about my current field (academics). 

The $10,000 my parents contributed to the purchase was my college fund that I was given because I had busted my *** in the classroom and received a full-ride academic scholarship.

My friends in university were not the econ majors dying to make big bucks on Wall Street - I prefer the company of academics, artists, social activists, musicians, even clergy. 

Not sure how serious you are at this point but whether it's academic or not practice reduces risk.

Although they are very smart academically, but they are not entrepreneurial by nature. 

If that's the case, you did a poor job of due diligence when choosing an academic venue.

The most current theory in academic circles is that Jesus was likely involved in the rebuilding of the Hellenistic city of Sepphoris, a day's walk from Nazareth.I too am something of a τέκτων, and I've been at it for quite a few years.

I was a graduate student at the time, but I was starting my first academic job in a few months at their local University.

However, in my opinion, academic intelligence doesn’t translate into financial intelligence.
