Do they not realise that they will just spread the disease faster and the business is going to overall lose out on lost productivity and profits in that period? Are people this fucking dumb just to show they are not "lazy" if they come into work with something like ebola or swine flu?

Two reasons:
1. Companies operating on the bare minimum of staff required, so that they cannot cope when someone is sick so that person needs to come in and work even though they should be at home resting;
2. Growing expectation that employees will work rain, hail, or shine unless they're so sick that they need to go to hospital

How do you judge the social class of someone from another country?
I mean, the usual "Oh, he went to THAT school..." thing doesn't really apply, since you don't know the context.
I guess everyone n earth knows Harvard/Yale and Oxbridge, but the rest is a mystery.
If you have to judge people based on their university and not from any work they've accomplished you're dealing with a new graduate or a loser. How about talking to them like a human being and asking questions that may give you clues as to their social status.
>>1005402
Wow, we live in a world where you're judged on even the school you've gone too.
>>1005416
Judging someone isn't the same as judging their social class.
You can judge the length of a table without being all like, "Tch, I've seen longer."
Launched a program last week I wrote in autoit, but had errors after launch I tested through but realized my registration code was fucked and had to revamp it because the free one I found online online wouldn't do, and 5 people bought by the third day and I had customers up my ass. It's finals week as well. I stayed up 2 days, still couldn't fix the issue, studied 3 hours, took an exam, then passed out for 10 hours. Stated up for 30 hours again. Tried to find solutions on Upwork, but this first guy thinks giving me "pointers" without me paying him will...

Why don't you learn C# fag?
I have a sticky, sigs made, contest for prior to put my gfx in their sig, I made a referral program, I'm having a sale, I post all over my niche sub forum, I'm in their groups, old account and lots of rep/whatever shit, etc. Good sales thread. Good site. Good title. Idk what else to do.
>>1005390
For something already released? I'm busy marketing my product to sell and I provide customer service. I'm building a customer base. I don't have time to learn c# to port this shit over. That takes time away from my business.
Hey guys, noob here. Doesnt look like you have a sticky so ill just get right to it.

Only invest in things you understand inside & out.
- find out everything there is to find out about something you're considering investing in. I don't care if it takes a week, just do it. Members of the board, executives, who they hire, who their customers are, everything.
Don't let your impatience trick you into buying the best of a shitty lot - sometimes there are no evident good deals.

Is there anything that won't eventually get outsourced to Indians/Pakis/China? Is there any point in studying anything or working on any skills if they will just get outsourced and cost $2/hour?
>>1005180
Anything that involves creativity or proper English skills won't be outsourced.
So just find a job that requires one or the other. Although robots will probably take over the proper English one, since robots can actually write articles on generic topics better and better now.
>>1005180
Nothing except for menial labor gets outsourced.
The only jobs that can be outsourced are ones where it requires 0 communication, 0 quality assurance, nothing really.
>>1005180
>Is there anything that won't eventually get outsourced to Indians/Pakis/China?
Time critical jobs won't get outsourced. Yeah the Chinese can make a 1 off part for cheap, but you need that part NOW not 3 days from now. A domestic company can get you that part the next day because they are a few hundred miles away, not 6000 miles away. Airplanes are not portals. An overseas flight is 12 hours.
Anything related to the defense industry. Congress and the DoD won't...

Elaborate on this. Something is wrong here. Living at home should not limit your opportunity unless there's a geographical problem. Are you pulling one over on us?
I don't know anything about this field but you should be applying for work in tangentially related areas at the very least for work experience.

I've made so much money with Bitcoin these past couple of days that I am close to having a nervous break down. I don't even believe it ... it's like only a couple of days ago I was a broke poorfag struggling to pay my loans but after taking a massive risk and borrowing money from anyone I know now I am doing quite well for myself ...
Thanks for your advice biz, it changed my life. Seriously ... I am crying right now ... wtf
>>1004947
Yeah, try cashing out now.
>>1004947
How much have you made?
If you're a broke struggling poor fag it's unlike you made more than $1000, which is still relatively nothing.

Didn't you post this decades ago? Get some new material, brah.
Is this manga a good way to educate myself about investment and money matters in general? Starting from a position of absolute ignorance I've found it to be quite informative, and it's led to various jumping off points to look up on Investopedia.
Its quite good. Terribly drawn. The major lessons about scale, Value, and access to Value are quite good. Also a great deal of very good psychology of money.
That said it is at best a tertiary information source. No one ever got rich reading tertiary information. You've got to go to the source and master the source material.
True investors are analyzing raw data and formulating decisions off of it.
Is it normal to hate your 9-5?
Depends on the job
I feel it's more normal than abnormal. My job isn't even bad and I hate being here.

It's soul-sucking
Is it too late to get into it? I was really interested in it when it first became big, but I didn't have a computer at the time so I never bothered. I've also heard that the electricity bill to run a mining rig costs more than you'll even make.
>mining rig
It's 2015 bro. Mining is pretty much all over now. You're much better off buying some to pay for drugs or whatever.
Bitcoin is a scam, it's a rigged fucking Ponzi scheme.

Is this how you cope?
I know as a general rule one should not incur debt unless they absolutely have to. So my question is, is medical school a fast track to financial ruin? Will I ever be able to achieve financial success as a doctor?
Med school has always been my plan, I'm very good with the sciences, high GPA etc. can anyone shed light on this? Other possible career alternatives? Experiences?
Bump for interest. It's debt but you'll be a wage slave and paying it off for years. If you don't get into med school you're basically screwed.
>not incur debt unless they absolutely have to
What a dumb rule you have. Debt is leverage and can be a powerful tool if used correctly.
>>1004137
That's just what I have been told. I'm young, I take much of what I am told in regards to finance as gospel. We are talking 200k+ debt here, does that still hold true?
Why don't universities teach economics with calculus? It makes economic principles so much easier to understand.
For example, in the introductory microeconomics class at my university, it's not calculus based. So when the professor wants you to find the optimum quantity and price for maximizing a monopolistic competitive firm's profit, you have to use a graph and remember which square is the profit for the firm.
In a later class using calculus, it's as simple as

Because integrals and derivatives make most people weep, and most of the little sorority girls and frat bros couldn't pass if you did that.

Perhaps there should be two types of econ classes:
>A class for business majors who plan on not using econ for the rest of their lives
>A class for math, finance, and econ majors who want to go further, ie, graduate school
This would work so much better. Then, phrat boys could pass the class and those of us that care could get a real education.

Not that's not really true. "Many" people do not earn 70-100k/yr let alone own houses or are married at 24.
Where the fuck did you get that from?
