How do women get white collar jobs so easily?
Nearly every single women from my class generation is now employed while i am unable to find unpaid internships.
It's obviously not sex, because I doubt these woman put out for their boss. So what is it then?
>>983454
Oh and its not GPA either, since mine is extremely good and I know their GPA is not as good as mine.
>>983454
Maybe there aren't enough women in your field so they choose them more then you.
>>983454
Word, I spent 8 years at private engineering school getting a masters degree and I haven't had a job since july.
My friend adrienne got a fine arts degree, a bachelors, and she somehow is a senior account executive at this marketing company in Philly.
Completely backwards... Like everything else in the us right now...

>how do billionaires avoid inflation /biz/?
They purchase assets.
>>983248
Dude are you retarded? Inflation is good, you got 1 billion dollars inflation is gonna make that bank worht more next year man. Inflation like 2% you get 2 million in da bank next year + interest you be fucking bowling
I don't think you understand how inflation works.
No, billionaires cannot avoid inflation. No one can. They just have the ability to hedge against it, or at least have their assets in monetary vehicles that track inflation. eg TIPs
Let's put this board to use, post your Position, Location, Requirements, Pay, and Hours (if applicable) and hopefully we can employ some of you poorfags. I'll start.
Position: Security Guard
Location: Phoenix, Arizona. (Nice office building)
Requirements: Unarmed Guard Card (or willingness to get one) and two brain cells to rub together.
Pay: 9.50/Hr
Hours: Full-time with possibility of overtime.
This is a pretty fucking cushy job, it's not difficult and can lead to some interesting shit but you need some common sense. Pay is decent for the area.
I want a job as a server at a restaurant in Canada.
I don't even care which restaurant it is I just want a job that is usually quite decent with tips and has human interaction ;-;
How to find? They all seem to either want someone with experience OR a hot girl. Hot women seem to be able to get in even with downs and no experience at all.

Position: Mailman
Location: Edmonton, AB.
Requirements: Spatial awareness, reading maps, driving, being a packmule, ability to not shoot coworkers.
Pay: 19.90-22/h
Hours: 40h/wk, paid 40 even if you finish shifts early, daily OT: [email protected], 2h@2x pay in busy seasons like now.
I can do a route however I want, but between job stress and meeting time requirements by management(even though I do a random route every day) the pay is sometimes hard to justify.

Pay: 11.50

I had always wanted to work at a bank so since I work from home I decided to get a job at a bank during the day out of self-interest and the desire for human interaction, while also continuing to work from home at night for actual money. It's interesting seeing big checks and stacks of cash but to be honest it's nothing...

Is technical analysis garbage? I just did a random stock price generator in R and performed technical analysis on it. Pic related.
How do traders make money?
It depends.
There's static, dynamic, and subjective technical analysis. Most big investment firms and pro guys only look at static technical analysis. Weekly/Monthly highs and lows, fibs off those highs and lows, pivot points, VWAP, etc. Most unsuccessful traders look at dynamic and subjective technical analysis. Dynamic TA are things that constantly change such as moving averages, MACD, RSI, etc. Subjective TA are things created by the user and that not anybody else may be looking at, such as drawn fibs, trendlines, channels, etc.
>>982888
The vast majority of traders don't make money.
>>982888
nope, it's great for me. it's basically all i use in forex trading and i make solid money. most people are just shitters who panic sell too fast and don't actually know what the hell is going on LOL.

I'm 25 and just started a bridging at uni. I caught up with my neighbour whos 52 and started saying its too late and that I should just join the army. He says he doesn't understand why I have a girlfriend, says im a loser and that I'm a failure and to just join the army. Said I need to live in the now and that Im unemployable. I now think I'm suffering from anxiety and haven't been to the gym in 2 weeks. I dovt get to sleep until 3 am and cant stop thinking that my future is fkd.

Ok /biz/. Today I just went to an amway seminar today and I feel like this is the biggest scam there is in this modern day and age. What are your thoughts about how people actually think that they can make a shit load of money by recruiting other people into the business? When I was at one of these seminars there were a lot of highly educated people and I do admit I was impressed by how much 'recruiters' or 'IBO's there were with degrees and such. My only question is how can you be so taken by such an obvious business model that promises little returns for...

A good scam with tied in sales and/or recruiting can still be lucrative. I've seen a generally dumb friend make nice money just selling knives with little "promotions" drip fed to him. Pyramid design, legit business, sketchy hiring, no payoff if you suck at it. Then I've seen the flipside, fairly smart friend trapped into rental recruitment scam that has him sucking dick for dick dust. Both have offered me fabulous trips to islands.
>>982609
My question is can you learn anything from it despite selling stuff that you don't want to?
Posr your favorite dividend stocks
>mfw 7% annual return in a stable dividend stock.
Dividends are great until you have to do your taxes.
But if it is working for you then that's great
I'll start:
>Vanguard high yield dividend etf
>>982487
The tax rates on dividends aren't so bad. Especially compared to how much you lose in a high income tax bracket
>unemployed since July
>numerous unsuccessful interviews
>get a job offer from a big bank, lv1 tech support floor walker, travelling around the country in 2-4 week stints (Perth, Adelaide, regional areas, etc)

Nah they're asking for a bunch of people, recruiter even asked me to tell my friends
I did it /biz/ at 24 I just made my first million dollars and I still have one more 10k+ order to complete this year.
What I do: Specialised imports. It actually started as a secondary business for fun, importing bamboo for people who wanted nice bamboo flooring but didn't know what to buy. I quickly found out though that through my Chinese contacts I could import far more specialised and valuable items that were often see as "dangerous" to other importers. Kilos of Foie gras? Sure! surprisingly this was a huge success, first year was around $400K for the...

Is the danger you mention spoilage or customs?
>>982332
More to do with the attitude people get when they want to buy things considered morally challenging. Veal, Foie gras, etc. Customers like my "I'll get it done, no stress" attitude apparently.
>>982335
Meh I'm not convinced.
Veal is usually live export.
Foie gras is a good that the demographic who enjoy it couldnt give the slightest fuck about geese.

What would be considered a good median income for say, Manhattan; e.g. strong-middle class, wealthy?
>>982263
I'd guess $300k+ for Manhattan middle class
>>982263
well, usually your employee pays the living etc. this is the case with any "well-known" company in nyc and silicon valley. employers rarely have to pay rents, foods, cars etc.

I have a lot of rich acquaintances, although I myself am rather poor. One just asked me to find them a project to invest 10 to 30 million in, and I will get a large sum to start my investment future. Any suggestions?
