Lemme guess, a recruiter fed you those lies?

Go to a trade school and learn security, getting your certifications there. The Military won't give you certifications so you'll need to go to trade school anyway. You could also do college for criminal justice and shoot for being a police officer. It's a more dangerous job, but way safer than the military right now you can actually do more at your job to protect people making it more rewarding.

Typo there... still, yes, police protect people every day. The world always needs more good cops and people generally respect any officers they know. There's also the opportunity for advancement: officers aren't the top! If you want to protect and serve your country, being there among your neighbors helping people every day is one of the best ways to do it.

Everyone is going to disagree with me, but...

1. If you have a sense of discipline and committment

2. You don't mind a regimented life (at least in the beginning)

3. You can show FINANCIAL disciple;

then...

4. Join the army at 18. Stay in for 20 years

5. Retire from the army at 38 years old (which is still very young) at (I think) 50% pay for life.

6. After that much time, you should have rank, at which point you enter the private service at a MUCH higher position.

7....

You may not know this, but there's a big country between silicon valley and NYC where you can live cheap, work, and not have to deal with all the crazy EU BS.

Fucking nigger.

A moped doesn't go that fast. Also:

More government spending, higher growth but less money per capita.
Only collapse will be a social one.

18 months in and I'm down about 7%

I have funds in high yield aust, balanced, conservative, diversified bonds, hedged international, high growth, property securities

The only 1 'up' is bonds

>>1054071
i see, and thats the one with the lowest return naturally

have you any experience with the etfs? they seem to be doing better but i dont want to jump onto that if the us is about to go into recession or something

>>1054075
High yield Aust & high growth are both down about 20% no shit - so I'm tempted to dump everything into them in anticipation of a comeback in the next year

But the safe bet is a NAB iSaver paying 2.7% or diversified bonds if you must Vanguard

bump for knowledge

What do you mean by "good economics book?" The standard for introductory macroeconomics classes is Mankiw or Krugman.

>>1048819
i took a econ 101 course and mankiw's book was our textbook now that i google it lol. where should i go? im not in college yet (im 18), just want to learn more

>>1055085
They all suck.

But really why are you picking your future based on what pays the most let alone what anonymous posters on an imageboard say?

Heating and cooling is a license to steal.

Think of this... people call you in the middle of the summer when the A/C is out, or call you in the middle of winter when the furnace is out.

If it happens during a cold spell, people wait in line until you can see them (in 2 or 3 days).

When they find someone who can come out same day, they will pay whatever they are charged; they have no choice.

An associates in forestry can easily get you 50k in 5 years. Plus, its a lot more exciting than plumbing, electrical, etc

anyone?

shameless self-bump, cause i'm in a mood to learn something today.

The three most important economists were Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and John Maynard Keynes.

Adam Smith and His Invisible Hand of Capitalism -
Deep examination of the world of business affairs led Smith to the conclusion that collectively the individuals in society, each acting in his or her own self-interest, manage to produce and purchase the goods and services that they as a society require. He called the mechanism by which this self-regulation occurs “the invisible hand,” in his groundbreaking book, The Wealth of Nations, published in 1776, the year of America's...

After the Model S came out, I toyed with the idea of putting $10k in TSLA when it was at $70. People thought it was a bad idea because TSLA was already up from $35 from the release/reviews of the Model S. I thought it still had room to grow, and now it's at $200. I could've made ~$18k.

Instead I put $130k in the S&P 500.

Hey you made money off bitcoin. could have been way worse.

Hunches and feels don't make you a good investor, you were right to be nervous. The biggest fuck up in your story was investing in bitcoin. Even tho you made a profit you exposed yourself to so much risk for such a small return.

It's half true. In my experience, I've gotten two good jobs without knowing anyone (aside from having some references who were not affiliated with the companies I applied to.) However, I've seen plenty of cases where knowing someone opened doors for other people. I would say: "it's what you know, or it's who you know"

>>1055827

Very true in fields that do not have shortages.

Nepotism trumps everything else.

>>1055827
What you know is valuable, who you know is invaluable.

For example, I am good with numbers. I have a very logical and repeatable thought process for most things. I have a knack for assuming and estimating things correctly with little knowledge of eventual outcome. Therefore, I'm a valuable price analyst/cost estimator. So there's my value.

My mother has worked for the government monsters in the proposal world for years (Lockeed Martin, Space Imaging, NREL). She has 35+ years of doing anything in the related fields. She's an SME in multiple fields pertaining to the work.

I recently convinced her to start a business consulting and training companies in how to create worthwhile proposals to government solicitations off of bid strategy developed from her experience. KNOWING her was invaluable for me to use my VALUE and get work. Without her, a cost estimator with no years of experience would get paid $0 dollars per hour. But KNOWING her, and joining forces with her, allows me as an employee of a company with 35+ years of experience in the field to get paid market price (right now around $100 dollars and hour) for our services.

Richard Branson once said "If you are offered a great opportunity, accept it and learn how to do it later" giving more value to the opportunity than the skill itself.

All in all I think that knowing someone will get you farther if you have the ability to fake it til you make it.

O'Leary and Cuban alone make the show. I've never actually seen a product on the show that I went out of my way to buy, but there were some that I would have used if I happened to see them while shopping.

i bought a mission belt.

i like it.

I bought the little magnet thing you place on your shirt to hold your glasses/sunglasses. I like that.

They will almost certainly never sell, and for the ones you sell, you would net a profit so little it will be ridiculous considering the time you have passed doing that.

>>1054401
It never works for anyone. Somehow many ppl delude themself into thinking it might. But you op, you could do it

Took about 10 minutes to contact and come to an agreement on price and quantity. Average pricing of same thing on amazon is $3. I have 400 for $60.

Even if I spread out on advertising by a few HUNDRED I would still net profit quite a valuable amount.

The time for them to sell is what I want to know.

Well, credit default swaps are usually in values of $10mil+, but the CBOE introduced CEBOs - credit event binary options - that you can trade on their exchange

You're also talking way above the average knowledge level of this board
