So I am about to inherit $200,000 and I'm getting a bit tired of college. I want to join the military as enlisted and maybe go to Officer Candidate School.
Is this a smart idea? I mean, I pretty much get all of my college loans paid for, can probably get the education that I desire (computer science) done in the military, and if anything ever fucks up I can just fall back on my military career.
What does /biz/ think about the military? Yes, I am a fuck up. And yes, I am not certain about my job outlook.
SOMEONE GIVE ME SOMETHING. FUCK!!!

Get a bachelors first. That guarantees you arent a grunt in most (all?) Services. Also think abput the cost / benefit.
While your deployed you get compensated peanuts for essentially being on call 24/7.
So , you wont have a stable relaionship the whole time or weekends / nights to yourself. Assuming you have some semblance of self control (because the military is good at instilling that kind of shit) youre better off in the private sector from the getgo even including the GI benefits and even if you plan on saving all your money.

Why are people trading instead of investing into their own, proper business?
It doesn't make sense to me, the return on creating your own business is much, much higher.
>>1054413
it's less work and quite frankly and the majority of people arent creative enough to start their own business and dont want to hustle for it.
If it was that easy.
>>1054413
By investing you are essentially paying someone to work for you and taking a small cut of the profits (if there are any) at the end. The distinct advantage to this compared to building your own business from the ground up is that because someone else is doing all the work you can keep your regular job/income. This way if the investment goes bad you have had and still have a steady source of income.

I graduated from a finance degree in June last year and got an offer soon after to work as an analyst at a bank. The only problem was that the contract doesn't start until a couple of weeks from now, so I've spent the last 7 months or so travelling and doing lots of different drugs. But mostly being a lazy shit.
I haven't even worked a full time job since before I started college so I'm a bit worried it'll take me a while to adjust.
Do you guys have any advice for things I can do to prepare myself?
>>1058129
Be worried, and you're half way there.
M-F just remember you are your bosses' bitch boi: no is not in your vocabulary. Don't use your company computer for anything besides company work and research. Your coworkers will all be very informal, but their jobs are already secured whereas yours is not.
Keep a regular sleep schedule i.e. go to sleep at 10 wake up at 6 every night.
After 6 months you can loosen up a little bit.

This sounds like good advice, thanks. What about ways to get my brain back into action again? I haven't really had to use any serious cognitive power in a long time. Should I try puzzles and brain teasers and such?
>>1058171
I'd just suggest reviewing anything job relevant. You aren't going to be given major responsibilities your first day on the job.
Being initially slow on the uptake can be played off as being new, and fresh out of school. In fact, lean on your coworkers a little bit to help show you the ropes, and then tell them you owe them one. This makes it seem like you look up to them and generates positive feelings. Make sure you don't take up more than a couple hours of their time per week, though, otherwise...

Hey /biz/,
I just rewatched the first season of The Office. In the last episode David's boss tells him that the board have decided to promote him ( at a majority of 5-2) to replace her. If he takes the job then his office will be shut down but if he rejects it his office will stay open and incorporate the Swindon branch.
It suddenly hit me how unfair this offer was to Brent. The boss woman had previously told him that the choice was up to her. Then to suddenly turn around and make it his choice. When he doesn't have all the facts, a personal connection...

I experienced your moms tight pussy.
10/10 would go at it again, very tight and very slippery.

thanks for reading the whole thing before insulting me
Your mom's pussy is really tight OP. Made her forget what year it was when I fucked her in the ass

Buy ETH. Serious answer
Alright /biz/ I'm sure this has been brought up a couple times before but I'm still not sure of any of the ways. So here's the question.
Is there an actual legit way other than btc or any other cryptocurrency to receive payment from someone while staying completely anonymous?
>meet somewhere
>collect cash
>wear a ski mask
is it really that hard faggot?

I have my adblock off today and just realized pic related is a thing. Is Adblock bad for biznus?
I also realized I used to hate adblock for a few days back when I have to calculate how many ads I release for my company will get blocked.
adblocks are being built inside browsers now, you are now unknowingly looking at a the new ads that are getting smarter.
No because fuck ads
>market for labour is saturated as fuck in every field because muh 7 billion and it's only going to get worse as more pajeets and wangs receive western education and return home to teach their countrymen
>have little capital which is currently making great returns due to the aforementioned glut of cheap labour
What is a young person to do if he wants to get ahead in an economic climate such as this?
Learn how to narrow their focus away from such broad questions, and provide helpful context.
THOSE WOULD BE THE FIRST TWO

You've told us nothing. Also, you can't do anything. You are the cheap labor.
Stupid Questions Thread!
I'll start: Found a better job (better pay, more prestigious, chance to learn).
What do I say to my boss if she gets a call from this new job? I want to keep my current job if I must of course.
What's stopping me from just hiring a foreign broker directly instead of paying out the ass in fees? Do I need citizenship or residency? An established line of credit for whatever reason? I don't have a broker here, so I have no idea what the requirements are generally, I'm just curious. Surely there must be a reason why people don't do that besides it being a bit of a hassle.

Why would they call your boss?

Easy jobs that pay well?
Sophomore college student majoring in Intl Biz. 10/hr at the hotel isn't cutting it. In Florida if relevant. Prefer white collar work to blue.
A beer delivery company is hiring that pays $20-30 an hour but the work seems extremely labor intensive. Still, I'm very tempted to apply.
Did I unknowingly post a meme thread?
Does biz need more info? I'm a lost and dumb college student with no idea what I want to do. Halp.
I doubt you're going to get up to $20-30/hr without a degree, training, or relevant job experience anywhere. If the beer company really pays that you'd be nuts not to apply.
So I was stupid and even though I switched banks I did not close my account out.
About a month ago I was making a purchase with paypal and used said bank which was rejected and I was given a late draft fee. I spoke with a branch manager at my bank about this and she spoke with her manager or whatever but both came back stating that since it was not a bank error they cannot do anything about it.
I have a -98.00 balance in that account which will go to collections in a few weeks. What will really happen to that money once it goes to the collection agency, will they just...

You're better off paying the balance. After a certain amount of time, debts will appear in your credit report. Late payments have a high impact, and can very negatively affect your credit for a long period of time.
>>1056475
Did you seriously just ask if it's better to destroy your credit for 7 years over $98?
>>1056485
I am rather ignorant to the world of credit and posted the amount to see if it was small enough not to matter. But the way you put it makes it more obvious to me.
So the russian rubble had a pretty rough year so far and has fallen through the floor. My question is, since this is mostly related with oil prices isn't the rubble bound to bounce up again? Could investing right now when it's cheap turn out into profit later? How much of a bad idea is that and what would be better alternatives for the time being?
>>1056004
Do you think oil will go back up soon, and that Russia will be a top producer?
Not when they're printing the fuck out of that shit to deal with their massive government budget deficit...
(I am only assuming this is one of the ways they are dealing with falling commodity prices and their reliance on commodity export)
>>1056004
I thought the same as you but in forex if you go short on the ruble you have a spread of 5000 pips so if you buy rubles at 85 for example, you are buying ruble at 84.5 more or less and you start the operation with a huge loss.
The ruble will gain strength definitely but how? 1 year, 3? you can assure that 85 or 90 rubles will be the ceiling of the currency? you have the money to hold that operation?
What are some red flags when meeting with a potential new business partner?
I'll start with a few easy ones:
>Doesn't wear a watch
>Isn't clean shaven
>female
>wasting money on watches when the time is displayed fucking everywhere
>not sporting a full bread like a fucking man
Wew lad
>>1056959
Wearing a watch shows that time is important to you.

despite having a bachelors and a masters in a STEM degree from an Ivy league university, its really the best I can do right now because I have 0 connections thanks to being a socially inept autist.
