a lot of senior agents left the industry after 2008
it has insane money making potential, but is essentially a none service. Really depends where you stand morally, if you just want to make a ton of money, go for it

What if I enjoy helping people? Can't I just make a reasonable amount of money without leeching off of wealthy folk?
I ask because I'm currently interviewing for Advisor Ahead's resident financial advisor program and am worried I'll hate myself if I just end up being a parasite taking advantage of people.
As part of winning a case competition at a big4, I'm having dinner with 3 partners at a really nice restaurant tomorow. Wtf do I talk about?
I already got rejected for the job I was looking to get. They "owe" me the dinner cause it was part of the prizes for winning...
at this point I'd do my best to get them as drunk as possible and have them say stupid shit while you're secretly recording it. Blackmail and honeypots are the best way to move up the ladder and if they ever try and fuck you you just have to give them one look and they'll fuck off. Especially if you know you can ruin their marriage or more importantly cost them their job in some ridiculous suit.
This forum is gay as fuck and this thread is key evidence to support my claim.
Man the fuck up pussy.

have a buddy call you on your cell phone after the meal has started.
You answer it quickly and apologize for taking the call.
Then say "Warren, I told you and Charlie not to call me during the evening hours!"
What's the most effective way of earning ~$700 a month while unemployed? I live on my parents property for free, so I only need money for gas, clothes, drinks and whatnot.

I'm looking into transcribing and flipping stuff from eBay. Good ideas?

I am moving away next summer to study at a university, and my parents live in the countryside. They have a huge yard with three guest houses, whereas one has been mine since I was 6.
I just need to spend the time doing whatever I can, and I might as well make it enjoyable. Stop assuming everyone is a parasite.

I live in a state where a 12 dollar minimum wage increase is most likely going to go on the ballet and most likely going to get passed. Right now minimum wage is only 8.10.
The problem is, I've ran the numbers. A 12 dollar minimum wage would put me out of business. I know people are going to say just downsize but I can't. We already run at the minimum number of employees.
I don't know what to do. The most I'd be able to pay my employees(adjusted for the spiral effect) is 10 dollars an hour. I can't simply raise prices. I already have to...

Sounds like you were already losing money anyways if that minimum wage law is going to put you out of business
>>969078
If you dont have unprofitable parts of your businees to cut, then you should focus on making more money. Every employer should at least earn his own wage.
Maybe you can sell more kinds of products, like lottery tickets or other products that dont expire. Or let employers do more stuff to provide a better service.
You should make sure you dont become less competitive when you cut expenses.
>>969087
Or maybe your butcher can make sausage rolls. Whatever. Just make sure to try stuff out before youre getting in trouble.

This is what poor people actually think.
A cost is a depreciating asset that costs a lot of money to maintain. USAfags always think public transport is for poor people when in reality many countries that have solid transit systems are ridden by every type of person.

Why not just move? This would lead me to assume you live in the middle of shit-town.
For me, that would be a deal breaker.

Is there a difference between gambling and investing?
>>973617
Gambling is entirely luck-based and Investing is making educated choices based on certain knowledge.
Gambling is pure statistics. So you know what the odds are you are going to lose.
Investing is accounting, emotion and fortune telling, with a bit of statistics.
Usually investing is actually profitable, because the stocks are backed by hard working people, while with gambling people often run out of cash before they manage to play the numbers.
In the long run, a well diversified investment portfolio will net you gains and gambling will net you losses.
Why do you think ETH will reach anywhere close, as BTC is now - or was?
>>973465
$20,000 each in a few years at least.
There is a limited quantity on them more so than bitcoin and it's much better than bitcoin so it will be a lot more
>>973470
That's crazy talk. I think it will be $1000/ETH at the most.
ETH is nothing like BTC so expecting it to act like BTC isn't very smart.

I'd consider myself a right wing capitalist nutjob but people who invest in apartments/rentals are the scum of the earth.
It's slave labor by another name, and it's not even the best way to make money.
At least outsourcing sweatshot jobs to third world country is better than what they normally get.
Everything you just said is retarded and you should feel bad for wasting precious internet gibabits

So then you don't consider yourself to be a right wing capitalist nutjob?

/biz/ my recycling plant got robbed overnight again, and I'm getting really tired of this shit. I live 1.5 hours away through a mountain, and the plant is located in a heavily negro/mexican neighborhood.
What is my best (and affordable) option to tighten security? These shits are literally drilling holes through my gates and the police refuses to do anything even when shown recordings.
And the robbery today, the guy only tore off all the cameras in the plant, including the box that was hidden in the ceiling. I'm scared that they'll kill whoever's...

You need to start a recall of your elected mayor. Gather petitions and get the media involved. Your problem will soon be solved.
>>973154
Get gun and shoot them. Self defense isn't a bad option for this situation.
Or you can electrify the metals they want to streal.. Tricky part is to make sure it's bad safety conditions that lead to them being electrocuted, and not that you've booby trapped the place.
