POPSNow this is what Second Life is for... "the ideas and visions for students here is endless. Economics majors can do research and learn the values of the Linden Dollar (L$) - Second Life's general source of currency. Psychology majors can meet new people and talk to them about their experiences and how it relates to Second Life. Art majors can go behind the scenes making their own buildings or putting their newest creations in a digital gallery. Business majors can follow the trends of the Second Life marketplace and marketing majors can learn how it all works."

POPSFraud I had the opportunity to work as a virtual assistant for a banker in Second Life. He claimed he was honest and legitimate. As an inside observer of some of the activities, the exchanges looked fraudulent at best. When the residents of Second Life pressured the banker out, I think it spoke volumes about financial institutions, stock exchanges, etc giving even a hint of impropriety. As honest as this banker tried to be, the way he handled certain situations left SL residents with a sour taste in their mouths. For me, the bottom line is, banks and stock exchanges in Second Life stole money from residents. I did not invest any of my L$. The customers I worked with were very savvy. They asked a lot of hard questions before investing. I am a supporter of Linden Labs staying out of resident to resident interactions. I am a supporter of people trying new things in SL or using SL for educational purposes. To this date, the banks and exchanges in SL have taken advantage of residents.

POPSIncreasing Job Satisfaction Are you a real estate agent trying to navigate through a less than optimum real estate market? Are you a small business owner who has reached a point where you are asking yourself is this worth it? These are the moments when you dig deep down into your psychological self. Ask yourself "are you engaging with your personal quest wholeheartedly?" If you are not, your virtual assistant can help. If there is an element of your business you take on because you are obligated and not because you have the skill set or the desire, then delegate it to your virtual assistant. You will be giving your virtual assistant a chance to showcase their talents and in turn feed their job satisfaction. You will be relieved of the burden of falling short of your expectations. You will be able to meet your expectations by focusing on the elements of your business you do excel in. This will help increase your job satisfaction.
