Jschr--sorry, forgot to ask three important questions to help in your
selection:

1. Are you currently dating the "hot" cheerleader?
2. Does your current girl friend have her own Mustang, two or more
credit cards and her own cell phone?
3. Do you have any married women around you that like their chocolates,
coffee and men rich?

If you answered yes to two or more of these questions think about a
Harvard or Yale MBA. ;-)
