Its a factor but without it you can do well
Ok business majors. You've thought about it. But it seems boring.

You forgot the million dollar debt starting out for 10 years of schooling and malpractice insurance.
>>1177561
The average debt is actually more like $175K, which is easily paid off when you're making $380,000 per year like I am. Also, my employer pays for malpractice insurance; it doesn't cost me anything.

I'm not smart enough to get into medical school let alone finish it and complete residency.
Hey guise. Current Mexican (not so legally residing in US) here. So I am a Senior in HS and I am about to finish it but because I cannot get a legal job here in the US I need help choosing what to do.

Join the military. Do good. Citizenship given plus all the other benefits.
Either go to college or join the military on the MAVNI program.

The answer is obvious, Carlos.
Apply for citizenship.

First job out of university, and I hope I can keep my spending low for at least 3-4 years so I can save up some cash.
Monthly spending is relatively low for me area due to sharing cheap appartment with GF.

Lmaaaaooooooooo.
Not sure where you find "comfy" in those. Is it in studying 50 hours doing math LITERALLY NO ONE will care about when you graduate per week while your psychology major roommates are getting the best pussy of their life?
And then you graduate and become a cubicle monkey making $80k/yr earning your boss...

It's over.
Sell every asset and buy Bitcoin.
Don't trust 3rd parties to hold your gold, only hold local bars locally.
Good luck.
Does this have any real effect on the average joe?
Will it send Stock markets tumbling or is it just another case of rich people faffing about while everyone else lives their lives?

what's over?
the show must go on.
>>1174702
The scam is too big now to sustain, everyone is involved. There's no recovery from this. Trust has been lost forever.
Time to get whatever you have outside anyone else's control, and that's Gold bars and Bitcoin.
Who here /unwarranted ego/?
>TFW I have never accomplished a single thing, dropped out of highschool, never worked, have no friends, am virgin, my parents hate me, I have no skills or hobbies
>TFW STILL think I'm better than most people and feel superior to them and like to humiliate them
W-will I make it with an unbeatable ego in the business world?
>>1173805
I know you, I used to be you - besides the parent hating and no skills + dropping out
You need to understand that someone who has really made it will be able to smell your shit, use all the fake cologne all you want but it's not helping. They let you slide and talk all the shit you want because they know what you're really worth and it's really funny to watch you lie.
Learn to learn, never make people think you know it all.

I read a lot and am interested in many subjects(albeit not extensively in any) so I have a pretty wide spectrum of knowledge and I end up talking down pretty much every "regular" person and making them feel like an idiot.
Why would I make someone else feel smart? I believe they are inferior to me.

This september I will be starting trade school to be in HVAC. I am excited for it, I just got a job 2-3 weeks ago at Sam's Club. I work in the kitchen and they are moving me to moving carts all day. The pay is good, 10 an hour. But I dont particularly like it, and I have really bad knees and a messed up shoulder so it makes these tasks even harder. Especially since there is no sitting at all. Should I stick with it till september? Or should I try to find something else till then. Once school hits, ill be going m-f 7-3 at school so I want to put all my time and effort into...

>HVAC
>"I have really bad knees and a messed up shoulder"
You really didn't think about this AT ALL, did you?
>>1171425
Well the knees only hurt from standing for 8 hours. during hvac I wont be standing 8 hours, you can sit or even lay down rather often. And the shoulder is okay, i just cant lift heavy things overhead. 50lbs plus. Which may be a slight problem but ill figure out something
I think you're the same guy that has been posting for about a month about what trade to go into etc. Good to hear you picked up HVAC. See any type of labor as you just getting stronger. Your life will be so much easier if you are strong, as you'll be climbing up all sorts of awkward shit and carrying heavy objects (pails of glycol) ALL the time. Most havc guys need to be fairly strong, and it'll come in time, like it or not. Better start early, it will make your early years 100x better and everyone will actually respect you. Welcome to the blue collar world.

Anyone here uses MATLAB to do financial modelling?
If not, what do you use for risk analysis?

Might as well have just put it into a bank account desu. Is investing a meme?
it just proves that frogposters are dumb
Tell us what your investments are

Just looked more closely at my brokerage, actually I have a 7% loss.
I also dropped out of college based on biz memes

I personally diversify and invest in silver Maple Leaf 1oz coins.

Neatly stored in a deposit box I pay 100 usd a year for.

>Neatly stored in a deposit box I pay 100 usd a year for.
Haha, holy shit. I fucking love this board.
>>1167275
> implying there is anything wrong having a deposit box at a very big metal holder
> literally order the coins online and they put them in the box themselves
box is probably empty and they only have accounts, but whatever m8
>>1167265
you do realize that you're pretty much losing all the gains by cucking yourself with a deposit box
>he doesn't own a single trumpcoin
It's like you want to stay poor
Reminder that Berniecoin is a Marxist coin that will steal your wealth.
Nobody will tax your trumps.

How would trumpcoin be any different to USD? the same nigger owns it.

The best part about this being that Trump is hyper-litigous and prone to sue the entire dev team into absolute poverty.

Why would I wish that there are literally no jobs for stem?

Feel the same way with my degree. The worst part is if you had put in the same effort into a finance degree or something similar you would be fine.
