Any highschool dropouts on this boards?
Do you regret it?
Where are you now?

>Any highschool dropouts on this boards?
Yes, 20 male Canada.
>Do you regret it?
Absolutely. Looking back it was so easy to get good marks and do well, I just fuked it all up like a moron ;-; in my defense it mostly wasn't my fault but my circumstances, but how I reacted to those circumstances made it my fault.
>Where are you now?
I have been a neet for years and I am very lonely, lack social skills/ability to speak to people except those I feel very comfortable with and feel like a complete loser.
I am now working on finishing it and getting into university to some scavenge my life but it's no use. Might just kill myself in a year or two if it doesn't work out, kinda gave up on everything.
I dropped out at 16 and spent the next 5 years doing drugs.
I had a lightbulb moment when I was 21 and within 3 months had my GED and was enrolled in Community College. Transferred and graduated with my BA in Computer Science. It took me 6 years to finish though because I was working full time but I finished. That was a long time ago and it still feels weird to say I graduated College

I suggest doing what you truley love, enjoy completely in the next year or two. There is no thinking twice here, just do, witg rational, intellectual approach, easy, slowly, without getting to upset if something does not work out, simply approach te he problem/onstacle from a different angle, or get back into a higher category of things, and change the angle from there, see what works and what does not. How? Asess your experience, preferably with scientific approach, learn from it and you will grow. You will eventually...

Is there a way to do 12U math(adv functions and calc) from the C stream without re-doing all my memes?
Hello. I started a business with a friend 8 months ago. It's an alcohol delivery business that delivers alcohol during the night.
We had only 4 orders this whole period and only from 2 persons.
Our prices are about 30% higher than a regular supermarket. It's not working and I wish I did the math before starting this business. Even if we had 30 orders per month which is pretty impossible, it would still get us a smaller income than the minimum wage.
My partner, who is also a friend keeps believing in this project, and he invested most of the money (around 3000...

If your business model is fundamentally flawed, then get out. One of the biggest mistakes you can make as an entrepreneur is to let good money chase bad.
>>993088
1 order a day is not a lot to ask for. Your problem sounds like marketing, not a business plan flaw.
You should be shooting for a lot closer to 30-50 deliveries per day. Not per month. Ever think about investing in an Indian company to program an App for you?
Drunk people need ease of ordering and ease of payment. Offer to deliver food that normally wouldnt deliver at the same time (include things like cigarettes, etc) and you are golden. Its a drunks best friend. You would be saving lives AND having...

I don't really see why anyone would buy alcohol from you when it's cheaper and more abundant in stores. It just doesn't make sense.
If your business model is shit, all the hard work and goodwill in the world won't make something successful. Tell your friend you need to reconsider how you're going to make money.
Those of you who work significantly less than 40hours/week yet still make a "full time income", what do you do?
Bonus points for setting your own schedule or working from home.

Which Presidential candiate will be best for /biz/ness?
Trump
trump will be great for raytheon general dynamics boing ect.
>>990691
Bernie Sanders is best for the american people so best for /biz/ is Trump or Carson
>be me
>have a great business idea for a website, but absolutely no programming or any computer traits
>have a business plan, complete with stats and plans that can show that my idea isn't some shit-tier plan
how do I propose said plan to companies or people to fund my idea without the idea being stolen?
I want to bring it to a larger corporation and pitch the idea in a shark tank type scenario, but I'm worried about losing the idea.
post it here i doubt it's anything special
>>989803
Without connections? You don't.
Do you really think Thomas Edison invented all that sit, or that all those "great philosophers" (rich NEETs) thought up every single good idea in their area despite having dozens of students under them?
I think any good idea is to be stolen at some point.
What is smartest to do is make it so, that those who are going to steal it would see their benefit in using you as some sort of an executor of the idea.
Working for a client now who is trying to send out to 3 million of his contacts, and trying to find best practice and methods to send these all out without getting flagged. What is the best software to use or does anyone have any techniques? Thanks.
>>988952
Cheapest way is to write a script, bro. Where are his contacts stored?
>>988956
Well there are like 50 million of them across a few servers, so what is the best way to serve them up? How hard is it to write a script? Got any recommendations or is there a way to PM on 4chan or send me an email.
>>988956
I guess the question is this: Would there be a way to use a script, and send it out to like 2-3 million people, over a month, using like 10 of my accounts, and set some randomness to it, and handle all the bounces to be auto removed from the mast list? Any good free spamtrap lists she can use or interface an API to her master list?
What's the best-looking silver coin out there?
I buy one a month or so just to build my collection, thought you guys might have some cool suggestions. I don't really buy as an investment, just like how they look and hey whats wrong with having tons of silver to pass onto my kids?
(Pic related) latest buy
>>993586
i also like the ones with the cross, imo silver coins should look historic
>>993586
Where do you typically buy from?
Why is /biz/ so low IQ?
Why do you all point to stupid studies which show that "STEM majors can't get jobs" or shit like that? Everyone goes to university these days, even dumb people. Why would stats that include dumb people at shit universities be relevant to non dumb people?
Why do you all advise people to go in to nursing / trades, or unskilled manual labour in the canadian oil sands / an offshore platform in the middle of nowhere etc? Why would anyone willingly go down in social class? You act like everyone aspires to spend every night of my...

I have not seen this advised in a long time.

What the hell are you talking about? Get back to /b dumbass.

I'm pretty sure I've seen the engineering bachelors, MBA masters sequence recommended here multiple times.
I have an adult website.
Today I got an email from someone stating the following:
"Hi, I came across your website a while ago and was concerned to see you don't have a disclaimer that no persons under the age of 18 are involved in your business. May I suggest you add a disclaimer concerning no requests under the age of 18? I am sure you do not want any bad press and I thought this would be helpful.
Thanks and looking forward to hearing back from you"
Anyone else got such emails?
>>992723
This is the second email this year
I just ignored them
What should I do?
>>992726
lesson 1: Ignore the autists and self proclaimed moderators .. because if you listen to them the next time they keep asking more and more.. Give 1 finger and they will take your whole hand...
I work in CS for an 18 plus site and I handle about 200 emails per day..
This seems to some of cheap blackmail attempt...
Close it without answering.
>>992726
Well do you have that disclaimer? If not, include it for fuck's sake. It's not rocket science. It's mandatory for porn websites, if you don't have it you're fucked.
As for the other guy, just ignore him.

What is the path to success? Where do you get motivation and knowledge from?
Eventually my goal is to work a job where I don't have to work 40 hours a week. Something maybe in sales or finance or something, but I never can figure out where to get started. Any advice from you successful anons?
>>990837
Successful people spend years working 60-100 hour weeks so that they can have that chill lifestyle later on.
>>990837
>Something maybe in sales or finance or something,

>Working less than 40 hours a week
>Finance

Do you have any idea what you're talking about? LM AO
what separates humans from animals is the ability to motivate yourself without needing emotions, pleasure, pain, serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine or anything to motivate you, anyone who relies on these things can often find an easier way of obtaining them, an analogy might be fapping rather than trying to get laid
just use your critical thinking skills to determine what the best course of action is then follow it
