Yes
For that reason I would choose econ
>>1012080
Accounting by far if goal is employment. Yes, eco majors can get CPA.
What is the proper attire for the first day of work at a business casual office? Also, what things should I bring? Just a notebook and a pen?
>attire
Slacks and a button up shirt unless they tell you otherwise. Some places do pictures for id cards and othet shit and will want you dressed up, but they would have told you. Since " business casual" varies just cover your bases with slacks and a button up.
>bring
They should provide everything you need, but I always bring a leather portfolio thing that's stocked with paper, note cards, pens, and shit like that Just becuse it comes in handy.

Good advice, anon.
Hey /biz/
Is it actually possible to make money online?
I make decent money now, but I'd like to make a little extra on the side. It doesn't have to finance my life, just a few hundred bucks more a month would help, and I'd like to do this without getting another physical job.

I'm a skinny, hairy, white boy. Don't think there's much of a market for that.

ofc man, there always is, the cool thing is that you need to figure something really effective out that no1 else will.

That's because Kim Kardashabitch has been branded every second of her life since birth. I dunno if making a small percentage off those emojis is worth having to calculate out the ROI of every single interaction in your life.

>kim kardashian emojis making about a million dollars per second (no exaggeration)
This is an exaggeration. That would mean 500,000 people are downloading it per second, 30,000,000 per minute. I highly doubt an app with 2000 total ratings has been downloaded by even 500,000 people. It's all forced hype.
>youtube vloggers making millions
This is true but being a YouTube vlogger has to be a shitty life if you're not completely full of yourself.

My father is recommending that I start investing/diversifying the investments I do have
I'm still a student so I don't have much, but I figure now is the best time to save and invest while I don't have any real bills, and it can go a long way in the future.
as it is I have about $3000 in Trans-Canada pipe which I mostly want to keep as is (maybe put a bit more in since the stock is low atm) but I'm wondering what else I could invest in for the long term, or at least any investing tips for someone who's largely new.

Your dad is kind of an idiot for telling you to "invest" when you have no income and are still focused on your education. Do you live in Canada? Throw shit into a TFSA for now til you graduate.
>>1011944
I have an income which is why I want to put some away while I have no real responsibilities and free income
>>1011937
I'm not sure how it works in Canada, but if you're earning that income from self employment I think you could put it in an IRA.

How expensive would it be to buy a 50% share in Games Workshop stock? What kind of control would you be able to exercise over the company if you did? What if any legal ramifications would there be for trying to crowdfund something like that? How quickly could you start changing the business' direction once you had the 50% share?

Your question is retarded but...

My dad gave me 100k. I'm canadian.
How do I invest it? I work a minimum wage job part time. And I have to pay 900 dollars in rent plus food every month.
How much should I invest in a TFSA every month or year.
I invested 3500 each in XCEL, Chevron, AT and T, Church and Gamble, Altria and Kraft 13 days ago. So far I've made 900 dollars. Should I stay invested in them?
What are other things I can invest my money in?
I am literally clueless in what to do with my money. I still wear crappy cheap clothes, own a crappy computer, use a crappy...

you probably didn't learn enough before you chose those stocks. im not saying they will fail but you probably have no idea which way any of the companies will go. 4% gains in 13 days doesn't prove anything at all, and you should definitely be looking at long term trades and not becoming a day trader.

I don't really know if you should be taking investment advice from 4chan.
Anyway, index funds and bonds then don't look at it for 30 years.

"Contributions to a TFSA are not deductible for income tax purposes"
What does this mean? Do I get taxed for putting money into the TFSA?
>>1011876
You put post-taxed money into TFSA, as in money you have already paid taxes on.
>>1011876
In ELICanadianand5 terms what >>1011879 means is this:
1: Earn $100K
2: Put $5K in TFSA.
3: Owe tax as if you'd only made $95K.
What it does NOT mean is:
1: Be millionaire.
2: Hide money under mattress except for $5K TFSA contribution.
3: File a tax return showing $0 income and magically expect a $5K tax refund.
I just left a copy of my original work to a publisher.
I think it would be a good idea to upload my work somewhere on the internet so I can preventevly protect my authorship rights from being violated.
Does /biz/ have any idea where can I upload my work that is official enough to serve as an evidence in court possibly later on??

Pewdie Pie homoerotic fanfic?
Don't think it would matter too much where you put it, as long as it proves it was you, and can be dated to before it's officially published by anyone else.

Anybody wanna discuss the book 'The Richest Man In Babylon'?
I just read it for the second time.
It's the first finance book I ever read.
Also, I'm 21 and just started my first job, so I'm trying to learn how to manage my money.
I'd like to hear opinions on this book from people with more experience in financing.
And perhaps suggestions on what books I should read next?
>>1011835
It's a great little book. I hope you didn't buy into the Amazon review hype of "the greatest finance book ever written". It's certainly not and the book doesn't try to be like that.
It's a tidy little resource for the lessons of personal finance, written in a novel format. It's for people with a basic sense of reading comprehension.
I'm not going to recommend you any books, but with any kind of /biz/ reading material make sure to jot down some notes. Keep...

I read it about 15 years ago. I'm not a millionaire yet, but I'm still trying.
>>1011852
Thanks
I'm actually taking notes.
This book gave me a good global idea on how personal financing can work.
I'm just wondering if there are better ways to do it.
Also, in the book they tell you to invest your savings. They give some examples and tips, but I still have no idea how to invest.
Where can I turn to learn more about investing?
Hello guys! Thinking of a good business idea... Any suggestions?

There was some rich dude a long time ago that sold things or services people wanted. Give that a shot and report back. Good luck anon!
Buy cheap slaves, train them, sell them at a profit. Like flipping a house.
Control the local fire department, start fires, only save the burning property when the owner sells it to you dirt cheap (what else will they do, let it burn to nothing?). Put out the fire, and sell the property back to them or someone else at full price.
Conquer gaul, refuse to disband legion, become dictator for life.

You have to find out for what products or services the current market demand is, a niche that is still not exploited. Good luck anon, hope my advice will help you with your endeavour.
Let's say I have a pitch for a business. I work out of my house, ask friends/family for funds, then go lease office space when I have too much shit that won't fit in my house
Let's say that my idea is contingent on acquiring space for construction. What kind of professional do I contact in order to research an industry? And at what point do I call for angel investors?

I want to build a wind farm on the east coast, but my main concerns are
(1) how would I get funding, and
(2) is my location suitable if my first priority is to provide a service to the community, a.k.a. is the climate sufficiently windy to generate enough electricity

Please don't ask questions in code. The only valuable part of any idea is it's execution, and we can't offer any insight on this secret squirrel stuff.
so here is a serious question, and i was thinking about this alot,
what would you think about a VR-Café? like 30 stations with vr for gaming and 15 for chilling out and shit?
backstory:
i was trying out the HTC Vive with some demos, like walking around under water, 3d drawing, and my mind was blown.
not only does this have an amazing potential for gaming but for exploring and relaxing alike.
just imagine after a stressfull day you relax in a room of pillows and all you see is the ocean, animals and shit like that?
so what would you think about that? and...

I've also had this thought, but it just seems impractical. The technology isn't ready for it, and there's no telling what will be the odds of it being successful when it is.
>>1011691
HTC Vive will probably have a launch price of 750$ to 800$ this is affordable by most people, noone will want to relax in a cafe and pay an overpriced per hour price if they can do the same thing at home. Times of arcades are over
>>1011691
Probably be profitable for a short while 6 months maybe, then people will just buy in VR themselves.
Except I could see gaming if you did full body input and the VR headset and all that shit. But if the games coming out are not good bye bye business.
A decent idea would be a new tech VR arcade cabinet at like a mall or the movies.
How should one store one's savings if one has under $5000 saved? Should one keep it all in one savings bank account? Or should one diversify? If so how? General advice is welcome.

1. Eliminate any outstanding debts. The preference would be high to low interest. In general that would be credit cards then private loans, followed by collateral loans and housing.
2. Create an emergency fund with 3-12 months worth of living expenses. This range is mostly due to circumstances. A married couple with two incomes and family help would likely only need a small buffer of cash.
Someone who is alone, with no outside assistance, and a single income would be better off having a larger emergency...

It's only 5k, put it in one account with a high interest rate.
Why would you want to create a nuisance over 5k?
