If I'm about to pick a major in college and am pretty smart, willing to work hard and interested in economics, math, physics, programming, law and philosophy, what degree should I pursue? What should I aim to do in the future and what should I be learning?

If I had the opportunity I'd have busted my ass and gone to med school. My friends who did it are rich and they don't even know how to properly invest their money.
>>1800959
terrible advice, maybe he likes playing basketball despite being a midget
>>1800959
worst advice ever just because if you enjoy striping cables your financial standard of living will be shit. All the areas yo mentioned have pretty nice employability and you'll get a high salary if you get a top degree average grade and seize opportunities. Finally, if I were you I would study a double degree like economics and law.
I've found a great way to make money online. But, to my calculations, this method involves 10% chance of getting me in trouble with the law.
I know I can't make enough money by using 100% legal ways. I've tried a lot, always failed.
should I take the risks and go for it? or stop dreaming about it and keep being a wage slave?
I know this thread contributes zero value to /biz but it matters to me.
>>1800906
How do you know that it is a 10% chance to get busted?
One thing my time in prison taught me is this: whatever your calculated chance of getting busted is, triple it.
>>1800906
boring
give us the details, without spilling your "master plan" ofcourse
I'm currently down here and I am in fucking fear of actually talking to these people. I want to be a business man and I want to succeed but I am so fucking scared. Idk why but I am, I thought I prepared myself for this but Im so damn scared. I have butterflies in my stomach.
Can anyone please give me encouragement.
Get your shit together OP. If you don't make any move, your business is going to be absolute shit and you'll have wasted your time and money.
>>1800431
you need to get over your fears. You legit have nothing to lose. You also need to stop giving a single fuck about what people think.

Who would have thought that someone wouldn't want to lend to a guy who has no verifiable payment history. Color me shocked. Should have been using a credit card paid off every month for credit building and cash back. But no it's the jews fault you are a loser. Gotcha

Are degrees really this worthless now?

Depends what you want to do you ducking clueless child. The real world doesnt have "general rules" like "degree tiers", there are just choices for your dumbass to make.
You'd be a real dumbass to let someone else choose for you

Given how 'difficult' it is to work a computer, I think it's more a combination of workplaces being unwilling to train except where mandated by law and the fact that (at least when I graduated from high school in 2008) they told everyone who wasn't mentally retarded or running a sub 1.0 GPA to go to college.

Is economics now confirmed as the god-tier major for success now that Trump is President?
>>1799503
No. Knowing economics should be a pre-requisite for being an American.
>>1799503
Historically, law school has been the path for most presidents.
>>1799584
being president isn't one tenth as cool as being the head of a private equity firm

GDI how did I only learn about this now? I've hated where I've lived for a decade but business has been good. Now that I primarily work from home, my location isn't as important. I come across acts 20 & 22 for PR where (very simplified) I'd only pay 4% income tax total for local work in PR and 0% income for exported services (which would be all of my current contracts).
Wait, there's more! 0% short and long term capital gains on investments and dividends. Holy shit.
Anyone live there? I read it's both beautiful and a crime ridden shithole. Why haven't you moved to PR yet?
Because of the horrible corruption, fucked economy, and awful financial mismanagement.
Because of the Puerto Rican people

I know I'm never going to get a job. Have zero experience and zero skills.
And yet I find comfort in doing absolutely nothing and wasting my time away.
Why? Who knows... Humans are strange creatures.
>>1798365
Honestly I wouldn't mind finding a job but apparently I can't find a job in a city with 3m ppl. I have a bit of experience but no real skill, but I wouldn't mind learning. But again no one calling me back. So I just stay home and from time to time go to college hoping it goes for the best.
>>1798365
I work manufacturing and they hire retarded street niggers straight out of prison for $11 an hour to start all the time. There is work if you want to work. Try a temp agency. It's never too late my man. These faggots that think you need a 401k with a million in it by 30 are the ones that get cancer and die before they retire and their ungrateful shitty kids fight over it or their wife spends in on her new bull.
>>1798365
I'm too fucking scared of talking to people so I avoid interviews at all cost. I do need to find a way to make some money soon .

What's the best way to invest in electric cars/batteries? Should I be placing bets on different company stocks such as Panasonic, Tesla, or an ETF or what?
>>1796953
Personally I think it's a waste of time to try. Although I do own a little of tesla.
Check this out:

>>1797052
I've got the Tesla pre-ordered, and bike to work daily on an electric bike, so I think there is a future for these things. Made some money on TSLA and SCTY back in the day, but I'm thinking long-term...
naw dawg bet it all on sunvault.... tesla wanted their tech but they said no
Anyone here a teacher or used to be one?
Did you get transferred around before you found a steady position?
what determined where you went next and can you request a location?
>>1796704
It's a different system in England you can choose where to apply . But just please do something else with your life.
>>1796704
>Did you get transferred around before you found a steady position?
Yes. The old teachers called it The Wheel like in Conan.
They'll send you to the shittiest possible schools as a baptism of fire.
IF you can hack it they'll most like transfer to another, worse, school (that's how I got stabbed by scissors).
Only once you've "Paid your dues" do you get to determine where you go next IF they'll accept you.
You see, everyone want to work closer to home, in a nicer school that has prestige or at least not kids lighting shit on fire every other day. The DepED can't afford that so they grind young teachers down until they break. If you manage to survive you're looking at an 80k+ per year job with benefits.
I now do relief teaching at Private/For Profit schools with religious names, and tutoring rich little shits on the side.
I'm making six figures gross easily, it took six years though.
>>1797564
>But just please do something else with your life.
Ignore this anon, obviously not cut out for the job. Let real educators do the work, not losers who couldn't get a job otherwise or are has-beens.
>>1797626
thanks for answering btw,
so you must have an idea on how the system works??
by the sounds of it, it doesn't really seem like you can request a location, would this be the case? If so would you know if they can be transferred to the same place after already moving away?
I'm looking for a career that starts paying a minimum of $16 an hour to start. I have no interests except real estate, loans, stocks, strip clubs, video games, massages, marijuana and alcohol.
I was considering trying to get my truck driver license, and getting a job in Aus, NZ, or UK (it would be fun to drive around a foreign country).
The thing is... I do not "need" more money, I am just looking for something fun that I enjoy doing everyday that will provide me with some fun money and make people think I'm "providing" or not a leech up society.
I have seed money, but I am not willing to invest it unless I have worked in the industry before.
I fit a lot of traits of a psychopath 2a, bad hygiene, not really giving a shit about anything, or caring about anything in general except my money/spreadsheets.
I was considering moving to phillpines and starting up a model agency, but I don't know the first thing about modeling, more just for my own personal fun like Donald Trump's miss universe.
Maybe starting a REIT in a cheap nice area, and selling shares to people in the bay area.
Playing bridge with old ladies, and offering to manage their money for 1%.
Starting a massage parlor or bikini bar (I don't know how to, and I'm scared, but it is my passion!)

>I have no interests except real estate, loans, stocks, strip clubs, video games, massages, marijuana and alcohol.
Bartender?
If you have the interest, real estate seems like the best choice. Your other interests don't seem that useful. I laughed when I read your ideas about a modeling agency or bikini bar - it's likely you'd go broke with that plan.
If you haven't already, get on biggerpockets and learn about how others have made a real business out of RE. Lots of inspiring stories there.
I love this post

> When is it coming to my country?
The only "plans" are on an Australian and Chinese beta. Neither of which has gained much traction.
> I hit sell when the stock was X.XX, but it actually sold at a lower price, am I being jewed?
Jewish tricks? No, and please refrain from the antisemitism! Robinhood graphs are shit and only show you an average, not true real-time prices. To get Bid/Ask prices and important things like candlestick graphs, you should use a more robust platform.
> How is it free?
"People" invest your settled funds when you're not using them, just like banks.
> Is this the place to pump and dump and/or shill a worthless stock?
No, but you'll do it anyways
> It's been X days, why isn't my account verified yet?
Not being approved in 3 days seems to be the new norm. Nevertheless, call/email their support if you've been waiting more than that.
> Where can I get better charting or bid/ask?
Real brokers, like TDAmeritrade's thinkorswim. Otherwise you should be using stockcharts.com, finviz, or a non-pile-of-shit for your graphing in addition to Robinhood.
>Is yahoo finance garbage?
Yes. Use Google or one of the former options instead
>How do I git gud?
People here are gambling, Take all advice here with a grain of salt. Follow news, earnings reports, and stay away from leveraged etfs, also learn difference between LIMIT and MARKET orders.
