First time poster on this board. I'm a young adult trying to build credit. I've applied for two credit cards and have been denied both times. How the hell do I build credit before getting a credit card. Could someone explain this stupid system to me?

Try getting a small loan, and making sure to pay it off regularly?
You take out $40,000 in student loans and make $300 payments to the bank for a new car, obviously.

Who should I apply a loan with? Is there a best bank to get a loan from? I bank with usaa
In the early 1980s, Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado travelled to the mines of Serra Pelada, some 430 kilometers south of the mouth of the Amazon River, where a notorious gold rush was in progress. A few years earlier, a child had found a 6-grams nugget of gold in the banks of a local river, triggering one of the biggest race for gold in modern history. Motivated by the dream of getting rich quickly, tens of thousands of miners descended into the site swarming like ants in the vast open-air pit they had carved into the landscape. Salgado took some of the most haunting...

Wth does clickbait have to do with goldmining?

You should feel bad for that cringe shit you added at the end of an otherwise cool story
Hey /biz/
I want to buy an advertising bike and advertise local businesses on boardwalks in my area. What can I expect to charge for advertising?
Will you supply the poster and art work?
In london £200 a day. £250 a day that sort of range.
If you get a long contract say a month charge like £140 a day

I have a success story for you, /biz/.
I had a family of websites, basically the same game with slight alterations, had decent growth over 3 years.
Recently I received an offer to sell these websites to a larger competitor. They offered $120k for me to sell them the user database and shut down my websites, I bargained and ended up on $150k. However, that's not the beauty of it.
The contract says I have to shut down the websites and not create any new websites in the same niche for 2 years. I also can't mass email my userbase. But, and this is the...

If he described the contract accurately it's all good as long as he doesn't make a website for the app.
>>1078794
The contract specifically says I can't
a) create websites in the same niche
b) keep the same websites going
c) mass mail the users
It doesn't go any broader than that, therefore their legal team fucked up and the mobile market is wide open.

My uncle made a heck of a living on it. Traveled the world. Then he died young in his 50s of some obscure disease.
It's the business-side of IT. It focuses more on the "why" than the "how". The degree is good if it also gets you some additional IT exposure, so that you're not rendered clueless. You don't want to just be the "pointy-haired boss".
Yeah, Computer Science major that takes enough business classes can make more money.
One of my friends took it and he just had to take a bunch of business administration classes.
He's 25 now and making like 65K. Hardly the dream.

Sup /biz/ long time poster here
so,lately i have been discussing with my mom, the folowing argument:
Real state gives you economical security in the long run,its the best way to spend your money.
the thing is, in my country a $100.000 house, makes around $350 a month by renting(which increments 12.5% every 3 months)
meanwhile im looking foward buy a franchise of supermarkets , which costs around 35000 to own + rent per month(around $1200), and makes around 8300 per month , consider this in my country is a lot of money , the minimum salary is around $400

If you get it insured and are capable of dealing with shitty clients. Also, in a competitive area so that way the price of the home goes up over time

it's not guaranteed. it's a business and should be treated as such.
I'm still in college and study cs. I'd like to get into the stock market. I have no idea how to go on about this. What would be the best way to get on about this? Atm I got literally 5euros in my pocket.
A fwb of mine told me that her father does this and makes sick money on the side, like buying stocks for 1cent and selling them for 5euros (she babbled sth about speculation or sth).
Now I know there are sites that show you the trend of buisinesses on the stock market.
>>1077091
Good taste in some of those books on the shelf there. A few good films too.
If you study CS, i suggest studying mathematics too. Technical Analysis is the best side to this.
Read and study first. Every battle is won before it has even begun. You should look into pattern analysis.
Economics, Finance, Mathematical Statistics, calculus and linear algebra as well as a bit of geometry should be the fields you study most.

Who is this creepy jew with terrible fashion sense?
Sup, /biz/. Currently an engineering student. Thinking about switching majors to computer science. Especially since the salary is higher, the courses are easier, and the better working conditions.
Not to mention they tend not to be located some backwater flyover town.

Well what sort of engineering are you doin?

Get into electrical engineering and do both.
Any other founder here burnt out by their job?
I mean, it's been almost 5 years since I started my company, the last 1.5 year I've been completely slacking off. I can't find the motivation anymore, the worst part is that I'm sure the business still has a lot of potential if I really work on it.
I'm actually making money without doing much, I feel almost shameful about it.
I want to get work done but can't get any motivation to apply it on my business. I'm almost envious of people with 9-5 jobs that don't have to ask questions...

what's your business? I worked for a small company and the people at the top made a shit ton of money and everyone else didn't. It was very demoralizing, given the people who made the money were all part of the same family. Woo, nepotism.
You should feel shameful about not working hard, and you should pay your employees more, if you can. If you feel you're making money unjustifiably, then you should feel sad that you are and act on those morales. You'll feel better in the long run about doing...

What is the best way to answer these questions, /biz/?

>Why do you want to work for our company
Here, you talk about the specific niches of the company and lie about how you like them
"On the companies website, it says that it has a very heavily funded R and D department. It would be more interesting work, to me, to work in a business that is innovative and constantly putting out new products"
"The business is very internationally focused, which interests me because....."
"XYZ is a startup,...

good answers, thanks anon. any other tips for kicking ass in interviews?

Second question was a typo. Basically "Why did you apply for this stream?" i.e. at a big 4 accounting firm grad program and you choose a specific area of business they offer.
Planning to sell flowers in DC. I'll be on foot and won't "occupy" anywhere. I'll just move and sell flowers. Do I need a license of some sort?
It's DC, so I'm sure it requires 3 different business licenses and a 10k small business fee

Suppose I'm doing it on my own. What are the chances of police stopping me and ask for ID and documentation. Given that it's just going to be a part time job and I'll be doing it only in the morning?
>>1078517
Yes. You need a license to be a street vendor. The fucking girlscouts org had to get a mass distribution license.
This is a long shot, but does anyone here work for or have experience with a packaging supplier?
I am in the middle of creating a frozen food product and I am trying to figure out a sleek packaging design that will allow the contents to be easily removed without the chance of the product sticking to the inside.
I can obviously go with a poly bag like a Popsicle is contained in, but that is not modern and sleek enough. It is essentially a cylindrical piece of ice measuring 6" long and 2" in diameter. I have been in contact with silicone and glass bottling...

You could just try calling a popsicle company and asking them how they do shit.
You'd be surprised.
Especially if you make some shit up, like its for a manufacturing course you are taking at college.
>>1078380
why can't it be a wrapper similar to popsicles? Go to the store and buy the most expensive ice creams on sticks you can find, and you'll see that they are also in plastic wrap, that's probably for a reason.
So why does it have to be different for you?
While we're on food packaging does anybody know a source for cellophane from wrapping candy that I can get custom sized/printed? Sounds easier to find than it is.

I used to do this back in 2011. It didn't work then and it doesn't work now.
