I dropped out of high school in year 12 so I don't think university is an option I want to get into IT but in Australia even level 1 help desk jobs are asking for things like 2-3 years experience what do I do how do I get into this industry?
Community college?
>>1039500
Yeah we have something called TAFE here and I think it can lead me into university but it's $10,000 for a diploma in networking.
>>1039521
That does not seem half bad. You could relatively easily earn $10 000 in a year while going to school.
I want to start an online business but I'm not sure what in I know I want it to be an online service but I'm not selling an actual product like clothes etc I want to start like a dating site or the next myfreecams but they are already overdone I get that I want to be able to eventually charge a monthly subscription to join how hard is it to go about doing this anyone here own an online business similar to this? thanks.

Personally, I'd do a hentai membership site.
Membership pays for:
>premium content
>amateur uploads (from other members)
>videos of interest (drawing tips, interviews from the industry)
>make it like social media
>phone apps

I was thinking maybe a furry site a site where everyone can talk about things all furry and drawings/roleplay etc not that I like furries but the market is there for them they need a site they can all come to I would start it off free but as the members grow eventually charge $5/month and give perks etc for it furries are a pretty big community I'm sure if it grew most of them would have no worries paying $5/month to come to the site.
Hi /biz/, quick question.
I was recently hired on as a dishwasher for a small restaurant.
They fired me after 3 days for "not being fast enough" but I was always doing the dishes faster than they were coming in to me and was never told to go faster/ the kitchen manager liked me and was upset that I was getting fired when I told him.
Anyway, I think it's some tax break scheme because I never filed a w2 or 1099 or anything, and nothing was taken out of my check.
Just wondering if there is a place I could report this to, seems illegal.
Oh the old Chip Heater trick
Yea op you got bamboozled
Lol I worked as one too. Eventually quit cuz it was bullshit.
>Do all the dishes quickly
>Anon why are you standing around being bored
>Everyone treats you poorly
>Gross AF tbqh.
>invested my 20k in savings around Christmas
>down 5% so far
>economy hasn't been this volatile since the 2008 crash according to the media and online discussions
Did I mcfuckup? Should cut my losses and sell my normal ETFs and buy short ETFs? Th-this'll all blow over soon r-right?
This is why you dollar cost average. You have no sympathy from me making such a rookie mistake
tfw ive got 20k sitting around and no idea what to do with it. Probably going to try to open up some storage buildings or some shit.
>>1039239
BUY AND HOLD
BUY THE DIPS
The above assumes that you did not invest in meme shit, but ETFs sound good
Today was my first loss since I started trading in the equity market last week, anons. Made 1.2k and in one day lost 2k trying to YOLO.
Anyway, I feel like shit. How do you cope with financial losses? How was your first loss?
>>1039235
Stop trading and start investing you dumbass.
What platform is that, OP?
>>1039235
>Made 1.2k and in one day
>lost 2k trying to YOLO.
pick one and you'll never have to worry about the other.

Besides buying oil and shorting S&P, who would you talk to for professional advice in this case?
A gun dealer
Assuming you're Canadian from the pic I'd buy VFV, seems like a foolproof decision.
>>1039231
Well if you don't want to short just sit on it until the shit hits the fan, sit on it some more then start buying index funds.
Haven't heard from this company I was interviewing at for 1 week. I'm shitting myself at the moment, the interviewer assured me that they would call in a few days. What are the chances that I'm not selected?
+ The interview panel seemed to like me a lot
+ They are in need of staff
+ I worked there as an intern
+ I'm friend with a manager
- Fucked up a few times during my internship, slept on the job once
- Doesn't know Mandarin (pretty important, I'm living in Singapore)
- They also interviewed another dude who very likely knows...

>Fucked up a few times during my internship, slept on the job once
This is a massive fuck up, hopefully you learned your lesson.
>the interviewer assured me that they would call in a few days
Don't take this as an accurate statement in any way. I've heard the same and had the exact same concern but they ended up giving me an offer weeks after.
You were already an intern there. You should have a good idea if they would hire you or not for full-time.
Can someone who's well versed and knowledgable in business and finance please explain to me in simple terms how the economy and stock markets and overall well being of the global economy works? I do some research on the side but I want someone especially if ur a business or economics major or if your in that line of work to explain to me in detail how economic systems and business works. What is the driving force behind the economy? What causes economies to do good or bad what causes stock markets to bubble or burst, how do business and financial systems work like banks...

Go to school or start reading a lot books, If you don't have time for that than it's not for you.

Hey /biz/,
I'm in quite the pinch. I am writing a piece of uni coursework which is due in 35 hours and one of its main components is the analysis of a decently sized organisation's organisational chart. Ideally I would need a chart of a branch of that organisation, instead of it just being focused on the very top managerial levels.
I have been doing a lot of research myself these past few days, using both google and scholarly databases, however it all came back blank. I was briefly in contact with a manager from a local Tesco, a major UK hypermarket...

hi /biz/,
In my country it's possible to borrow money from the government to fund your education at a very low interest rate. So far, I've borrowed about 25.000 eur and put it into a savings account. The interest rate for 2016 is set at 0.01%. I would like to put this money to good use, but obviously it can't be too risky, as it is borrowed money. After 2 years after I finish my college I'm supposed to start paying it back monthly, over a timespan of 35 years. The interest rate will be set at the rate of the year I finish my college in.

This pretty bad, normies will see this and initiate a huge sell off creating an artificial crisis. Which may be a good thing because the market is overvalued.

Long story short. I can't use ninja trader anymore. im a funded trader working for a mid sized company. I've used rithmic via ninja earlier now that isn't possible.
so my options are:
a) quit my job and become my own boss
b) just learn how to use R trader
c) use 3rd party chart program (since rithmic doesn't have charts of its own, maybe the pro version has I don't know) and only use Rithmic to execute orders. And what chart program do you guys recommend
I'm genuinely interested in what /biz/ has to say so bump.

Swedish high school graduate here in need of some advice. I'm moving to Stockholm next year and I have a job lined up to pay off my rent while I'm studying, but I still haven't decided what to study. My choices are the following:
- Industrial engineering
- Chemical engineering
- Engineering physics
- Geology
Note: If I am to pick Geology or Chemical Engineering, chances are I'll take them both as my majors (btw is that a good idea or nah?)
Keep in mind that I'm only in it for the money and I'm not planning on staying...

this doesn't have anything to do with business/finance. Ask sci

Yes it does, this has to do with making money. I see profession threads pop up all the time, so I fail to see how this thread is irrelevant.
I am 23 years old with a credit score of 538. Pretty bad. I cannot even get a phone with this score let alone a credit card. The only one I'm able to get is a Capital One Secure card if I put a down payment of 200 on it. Is this actually a good way of fixing things? I'm sad about my credit rating. I feel fucked. I can't get loans and probably not a car. What should I do?
>>1038940
I'm 19, my credit rating is 410 and I was given a Amex platinum cashback.
I'm employed, not a student. I'm surprised I got accepted. Top kek.

This is going to be a REALLY fucking stupid question. I already know that before I'm going into it. But despite all the reading I'm doing I can't really find a good answer to this.
Let's say I have a trading account with 5,000 dollars in it. If i type the ticker symbol for any given stock into Google I can see their graph for 1 Day, 5 Day, etc... Say I picked a random company whose shares are about 20$ each. I buy that morning at 20, and the second that the stock rises in price over .50 I sell all of my shares. Assuming a 50 cent gain (not including...

Fees and commissions, plus the possibility that your stock never goes higher than you bought it for (which is higher than you think)

You need a minimum of $25k on deposit in order to make more than 3 trades a week.
Read a book on day trading.
