hey /biz/ i'm going into the sales industry and a common requirement on job descriptions is the possession of a "diploma" or a "major/certificate" in sales. Is there anyway that i can get a cheap but legit (to some extent) one? are there any courses that i can do online? something that would sound legit on a resume.
Just photoshop one and get a family member to act as the reference if they ask (they won't)
A diploma for sales...?
The only way one learns to sell is by selling.

>job descriptions is the possession of a "diploma" or a "major/certificate" in sales.
Literally doesn't exist in America. Just lie or put down "available upon request" because all that matters is getting to the interview.
I've never heard of this, and I'm in an environment filled with nothing but professional salespeople.
Can someone provide me with information on passive incomes. I know you can survive on them alone, but how easy is it to make $10/day with it (im traveling through asia for a while and want to supplement some expenses with it)? Also i saw a link to a file that explains how to set them up, does anyone have that i can get?
$10 a day should be no problem.
Someone can post the links to some sites where you can do small tasks for PP money.
You should be able to earn like $30 a day in a few hours.
>>1023984
would this require daily maintenance or one its put in motion can i let it sit alone and run itself?
>>1023986
Hell no, that anon didn't read that you wanted it passively. For passive income your best bet for passive income is to throw $105,000 into a high dividend yield index fund for 3.5% dividends annually, which comes out to roughly $10/day.
...Except it's taxed, so make that $145,000.

So I have been hearing a lot of things about colleges and if getting degrees are worth it. I have heard quite a bit from both sides on the topic and I am still not sure what to think. It seems that a lot of people graduate with debt that they don't pay off for decades, and I'm worried that that will happen to me. I currently plan on going to college to be a physicist (going for a doctorates), but I'm not sure if college is financially worth it. Does anyone have any personal stories or advice to give on the topic?
>>1023873
I got my bachelor's debt free and I'm still not sure if it was worth it. It's only been have a year since graduation though, maybe I need more time.
If someone tells you college was worth it, things worked out for them, and vice versa. And whether things work out depends on more factors than just where you go and what you major
You should go to a Comm College for at least a year to get some pre reqs done if money is an issue for you, it's way cheaper and will probably transfer, check though.
College is great if you go for STEM, but even then the pure sciences have shit employment, physics included.
One of my good mates studied physics and has been finished for 2 years (got his doctorate). I went straight to work with out Uni and am now studying part time (business and commerce). After doing that I can see how much of the degree is rubbish and people in the real world don't care about so much you are taught. I'm earning 95k in Aus and my mate who did his doctorate is working at Maccas because unless you work at the Uni where is a physicist going to work?
My advice, unless you love physics look at something else and I would say come back to Uni after you...

How much money can be made selling user data to advertisers? Facebook free basics got me thinking. If I set up free 3g/4g data for people in a city and just capture all their usage, I could sell accurate profiles to advertisers. The question is, does the sale of user info cover the cost of riding on another carrier's bandwidth?
'bout three fiddy
Not really
Do most millionaires/billionaires manage their own money and investments or do they have financial advisors and shit?
Pic somewhat related: He probably makes all his own investment decisions
They hire different people to do different things.
One or more accountants, financial planners, etc.
It's not really possible to manager your money yourself when you own multiple large businesses dealing with millions of revenue/expenses each.
>>1023805
>or do they have financial advisers and shit?
Yes. And I'm sure multiple advisers as they don't want to have all their eggs in one basket.
Sup /biz/. I don't know why I'm asking since most of the people on this board are American and degrees are different in Europe. Basically I've fucked up my exams and I managed to only get into an ordinary bachelors degree in engineering. I basically have two choices. To go into the Honors Bachelors after 1 year in general or do the 3 years of the Ordinary bachelors and then go into year 3 of the Honors Bachelors. Both routes will take 5 years in total (1 extra year for a 4 year exam) but I'm not sure which is best. If I go straight into the Honors Bachelors...

Bachelors degree is a scam and a meme.
Become a tradesman, you make way more as an electrician than some pleb engineer.
1 extra year for a 4 year course*
>>1023764
I've been told that job prospects for engineer graduates are terrible in America but trust me they are very good in Ireland still.

I guess it's alright but the whole theme of "WORLD IS ENDING, FINANCIAL COLLAPSE IMMINENT" is pretty /pol/-tier. Kind of annoying really.

Anything else? Anyone have any interesting financial forums with user discussion to look at that aren't shit-tier?
Thinking about starting a liquor store business. Don't know how profitable it would be, but logic dictates most people like to drink. especially on weekends. Any advice and or experience in this area?
>>1023654
Looked into it a few years back (had no money, just a fantasy). Obviously gonna want a good location near peoples homes and commutes. If you live in a state where grocery stores can sell liquor/wine you probably won't want to be near one of those. Look up the laws on distribution where you live. In TN there is a three tier system where the brewers have to sell to distributors who can only sell to retailers. No one can skip these steps (except for "souveniers" you can buy at places like the Jack Daniels...

Whats /biz/'s opinion on unions? 18 Year old here who has the opprotunity to join a trade union for HVAC. However, i have a 4 year tuition free scholarship. If i had to pick ,which one should i go for?
Note: im looking for a day job that pays atleast 35,000-ish a year. Im a single guy with basic hobbies and want to move out of my parents asap.
Unions are great. There are very few drawbacks.
People that argue against them don't know what they are talking about.
>>1023655
do you think i should go for it and forget about college if i can?
>>1023613
I don't work trades but I'm a phone salesman even though I have a BS in Pharmaceutical Sciences.
I'd say get unionized and start building on your work experience and estate right now. Save or invest your money. Make friends and build connections with people you could use for references.
Through the union you'll be well protected and will (hopefully) never have difficulty finding work. They will help you find work.
I have no idea what else might play into it. If you absolutely...

I'm still in high school, but I really want to start my own business. I have no clue what type of business I would be interested in getting into, but I just have a deep desire to create one and grow it into a successful one.
Is college worth going to? If so what degrees would be best to pursue for this?
Is there anything I can do now while I'm still in highschool. I feel like I am wasting valuable time.
>>1023498
a direction is important. sounds like you just want to build a business because you idolize the idea of being a boss and doing 'your thing'. it's a tremendous amount of work, you want to make sure you enjoy and understand the field.
learn how to code, and maybe acquire some level of design skill. those two are huge and will benefit you in almost any imaginable path you take.
Have you ever thought about becoming a pre-op tranny and sucking cocks. Heard the supply outweighs the demand, start out sucking a dozen dicks a day. Save up enough $ to get a boob job, then you hit the big time baby. Maybe move to Vegas and work your craft or dare I say maybe get into the fetish film industry.
>>1023501
My eyes glazed over when trying to learn and understand code, design is interesting any online resources to go down that route?

So only a year after graduating college and I find myself in the position of having to re-build an international online business more or less from the ground up.
To summarize, I got an internship at a company that runs multiple international online stores and several other online properties, with multiple office branches worldwide. The majority of employees at said company laughably quit over the duration of 2015, with the intern (me) left holding the bag in many ways. I am now expected to restructure, re-employ and revive the company using what we have.
My question...

After reviewing the power of compounding interest I would like to take advantage of it.
What would be a good position to take with dividends in mind? google search shows high yielding (over 50%) from Sandridge Mississippian Trust $SDT and $SDR.
Are there better options? are these risky?
>>1023402
I don't understand what you're asking exactly.
Are you looking for a high dividend yield or are you looking to earn interest on your money?
better use dividend ETF because trusting money in only one growing company is risky
If you want to compound then get a growth stock duh
