Is there such thing as "too many entrepreneurs" nowadays every kid wants to start a franchise or run a small business. Most of which aren't economically necessary, so we basically end up with all these people with no tangible skills, and if everyone wants to be a business owner eventually three would be no emloyees. How can this be prevented?

there's no such thing.. back in the early days, everyone was an entrepreneur.. shoemakers, blacksmiths, bakers.. they all owned their own business
cuckslavery and wallstreet merchantilism is a fairly new phenomenon
>>1235970
Specify country please. At least here in Canada, where small business form a significant portion of tax income for the government, you can never have too many entrepreneurs.
Half of them will fail, the next half will go out of businesses, and another half of them will stop when they realize being their own boss doesn't mean they can do whatever they want and get paid
Hello /biz/,
I am almost finished with my master's in compsci, focus on machine learning. I tend to want to work on general artificial intelligence, but then I feel like just inventing this shit for you chads who will use it to get even more rich while I get status points in the "academic community" which I already hate (conservative unimaginative petty cucklords mostly).
So the question is: How would you go about maximising your chances of obtaining a few million in my situation? Bonus points if I can continue working on AGI or don't have to...

why not try to get hired by some buyside firm currently using AI... I mean aside from google deep mind, Facebook and Microsoft research the biggest employers of machine learning researchers outside academia are probably hedge funds and prop firms (I don't mean generic 'data scientists' with some quantitative post grad degree + some knowledge of stats/ML but people with specific ML post grad experience working as actual researchers)
game to play then is generally stick around somewhere for 3 years,...

millennium and world quant are the sorts of places where you can go for the quasi-self employed route... but the key is to start somewhere else first and learn from an experienced team
there are only really a few dozen strategies being used to generate alpha out there - everyone is basically hiring researchers to make tweaks/adjustments to the same set of ideas that is why you'll see clear correlation in the returns of certain funds and CTAs - especially when certain people have been behind founding them

Thing is (this might be impostor syndrome, but the flipside is dunning krueger), I feel like having a big scar in my face due to not having done any practica (is this the word? sorry, am German. what I mean is working for low wage during studies to gather "work experience) outside of university at least, taken one year longer than generally expected and having a bad gpa for the bachelor's (master's seems to be good though).
Also I don't understand most of your words in paragraph 2, sorry....

Hey /biz/
What is, in your opinion, the best online business course money can buy and that isn't a scam.
>>1248951
They're all scams.
Their business is selling you a course.

Why would anyone teach you how to run a business when if they knew how they would run one themselves?

Okay, someone help me understand this.
Why does Walmart pay dividend when it could reinvest that money into it's employees and stores to reshape its brand image?
Walmart is essentially laughed at by everybody everywhere as being the dirtiest, ugliest, least helpful store ever. Yes, it is cheap and has lots of available items and I myself shop there, but I would be much more inclined to shop there more often if they:
>had better employees
>had cleaner stores
>had even...

Because you keep shopping there and so does every other holier than thou wal-mart hater.
They don't have to change anything to keep getting business
>>1248753
True, but I don't shop there very often and most of my larger purchases are done at Publix. Nearly everyone I know does this too (though I live in a wealthy area down south so that could play into it).
But even if what you said is true, wouldn't they still receive a better outcome over the long term by reinvesting that money into their stores than paying it out as dividends?
That money is better spent on share holders than employees with a two year 98% turnover
Basically I though, why not share and discuss some weird, good, crazy, innovative, creative, shitty, funny, brilliant business ideas?

A website that's like an extension of some of these small user based prediction things. Lets you make predictions and see different stats like what people with the most previous success have predicted. You can also set predictions for events like market crashes too. I want to add an area to shitpost about each stock/event as well.

Simple question:
>How do I profit off likely widespread unrest following the US 2016 election.
Political candidate preference aside, it's a very real possibility that Trump will win the 2016 presidential election and/or Clinton gets fucked because of the FBI investigation. You already had chimp outs at his rallies, and there are a huge number of people threatening riots and/or mass exodus if Trump wins the election. I predict these riots to be suppressed and to change nothing.
But I got to thinking, if these events come...

Can /biz/ recommend a beginner friendly, credit-building, minimal hassle credit card? 24 and I really need to start building my credit. Also, going on a 2 week vacation to Europe soon and would like an emergency back-up card.
Bonus for building some sort of reward system - but not necessary. Did some research on Clark Howard's website and another website but they weren't much help for beginners

I currently use a bank of america card that offered 0% interest for the first 12 months. I just pay it off every month though. Right now my credit limit is only $1,000 but I bet if I asked them to raise it they would considering I don't have bad credit.
