Which option is the better one in terms of long term sustainability, usefulness, fees, etc?
About to graduate high school (18 year old senior) and I need advice. I live in central Florida if that helps.

Trades are better unless you can get a full scholarship somewhere and study something useful
90% of people in college don't belong there or study something that won't get them a job.
Do with that information what you will.
Forgot to add.
If I go with trade, what trade is better to learn, in terms of income, job availability, etc?
Well I did it, /biz/. I rose above it and got a job.

Can we consolidate the I'm a victim because_______ to one thread.
I'll start I'm a victim because of Chad takes all of my jobs and I'm inferior in every way, I've given up on improving myself and I want to spread my negativity to everyone so they know how bad I feel.
I'm a victim because I wanted to become rich but I don't want to do anything for it so I just became NEET and started talking about how Capitalism sucks and is unfair and that money isn't that important

>Give poor people more money
>They're harmed by not being poor
So is this guy some kind of masochist or something? This is Mother Teresa levels of delusion.
>>1167165
No retard, it's because minimum wage results in unemployment. It only hurts the poor because they get less hours per week or less people get hired.
There should be no minimum wage.
Tax day is coming up. Have you done your taxes yet? What service did you use?
I'm running a small startup and I'm not sure how I should do my business's annual return. Last year I used TurboTax, but this year I think it'd be easier to get a professional to help me instead.
Thoughts?
Already done.
Canada here desu
Got a $50 tax refund ;-;
>>1167000
Depends on your revenue levels. If it's just a couple hundred thousand or less just file like you did last year.
>>1167009
thanks. My revenue is $0, lol.
On a related note, does investment capital get taxed? Like, if I do a seed round and get 100k, do I need to pay taxes on that? I searched around online but for some reason I couldn't find any clear answers on this.
In an imaginary Mars colony, would a cryptocurrency a la bitcoin be feasible as an official currency?
What I'm interested in is how would taxes work. Obviously there's space for tax fraud when it's so easy to move money around so I've been thinking about a flat transaction tax. Basically you'd get rid of income, taxes and just institute a flat 0.2% tax on every transaction which goes directly to the federal treasury. Taxes for house, land, car etc would be state/county/city dependant and would be collected in a normal way. Tax return could be filed...

You smoke a lot of weed, huh.

I don't smoke it at all actually. Why, is doing a thought experiment now a DUDE WEED LMAO territory?
>>1166956
when you realize a government could easily outperform your shitty mining racks and take control of your entire crypto-currency you will turn green and shit bricks.
they let the bitcoin go for now because the market share is laughable and can be useful for field operatives just as tor.
if it grows to threaten the financial system or gets more exposure the nsa will just take permanent ownership of the block-chain and they will only process the transactions they want to (ie the ones they generate for shits and giggles).

It's funny I heard a fact earlier today that said that 75% of millennials feel like having graduated college should be all they need to prove they can enter the workforce. So. Fucking. Entitled.
>>1166866
Nowhere in that whine did mention connections. Interfacing/Socializing with other people to improve your chances. Not once.
>TFW parents are having hard financial times and can't work soon and I have to move out but I haven't found a job yet
Reeee... What the FUCK do I do? No one is hiring!
>>1166832
How do you think they feel? The only financial reason to spend so damn much time/money on having a kid is so they'll take care of you when you're old and sick. Now they're old and sick and their loser heir can't even take care of himself.
>>1166832
I don't really have any decent advice for you, but that sucks anon. I hope it works out for you soon.

Thats a pretty shitty way of looking at things. You'd bring human life into the world just for your own gain?
Hey /biz/
I am considering to start playing poker online to cover my student loans. I have prior experience, but only on an amateur level.
Does anyone have any experience with long term profit from online poker?
And how can I improve my own play, to maintain long term profit?
>>1166573
you will lose money before you make money
>>1166577
Is there no viable way to get good at poker without losing money? I am willing to invest some into it, but if we are talking thousands of dollars, then it probably isnt a bright idea
>>1166584
you can get lucky, but you have to get used to each level
How good is a good statistics honors undergrad degree with a minor in econometrics?
In terms of usefulness and job prospects and starting pay, GPA is 3.3
>>1168174
kill yourself faggot
>>1168189
Lolllllllll gay
>>1166497
how good are your social skills? basically you're fucked if you didnt spend that time networking with people in the industry and if your professors havnt already refered you for jobs. seeing as how you're asking this question you misunderstood what university was about. it's about networking. if you dont graduate with a job offer or an internship you have no prospects.
What do you guys think of selling scrap metal? specifically copper?
A friend of mine told me that he'd rake in 150-700 a night sneaking into demo sites to steal copper pipes and brass.
I have a truck, a sledge hammer, and a sawzal, this would be a good way to supplement my income.
He's a liar. Scrap yards aren't going to take that because it's most likely stolen. I couldn't even scrap the copper from my old AC unit because copper is a theft problem, and I had to bring the entire AC unit there, which I already took to the dump. I bet your friend says he sells stolen guns to pawn shops without any registration or scraped off serial numbers too.
>>1166378
wut? scrap yards around here dont even give a fuck. you must be from canada
>>1166383
you have to put ID on file along with jumping through a bunch of hoops in my state
Worst thing you've done for money? (PROTIP: don't post your fucking crimes on 4chan)
>Me
>Opened a pub near a hospital my mother died in
>Using the inheritance money
Paid for itself in less than 3 years.
Don't see how that's bad at all. That money was yours to do what you wanted with and you had yourself a successful venture. If anything you oughta think she would've been proud of you.
>>1166265
thats a good thing
>>1166265
I mean its kind of weird that you set up the pub right next to that hospital,
unless you were doing it as a tribute to her
otherwise, nothing wrong here, you did good
Hey,
Just bought a one bedroom condo here in Ottawa for 240k. The builder is called Richcraft and the building is called the Bowery. Is there a website where i can get more information on the building specifics?
pic related
Thanks
>>1166232
I seriously hope you're joking.
You bought new construction without knowing all the finishes, the floorplan, view, etc?
http://www.thebowerycondos.ca/suites.html
Yeah it will be for when i travel there for business. I need inside information on the building specifics not just the website
>>1166269
Those seem nice. What do you do?
I think gold is selling for WAY more than its worth right now, and that silver is a much better investment. Am I right, or is OP still a faggot?
Also precious metals general
>>1166102
yes, according to /biz/ gold is worth only 10 cents per ounce.
