>>1776753
Yup. Pretty much since '85 in the US, we've not really had much.

>>1776741

No.

It seems like a boring, shit career. I can't see why anyone would go into it for any other reason than the money which probably has something to do with the fact that the job market is supersaturated.

>>1776741
I'm considering it, but I've heard rumors (and seen) that the market is over-saturated.

It's like playing Russian roulette with your life. There are a certain number of big firm jobs "biglaw" that pay $180,000 starting, and then everyone else starts at $45,000 to $100,000... if they can find a job at all.

>Harvard/Yale/Stanford/Columbia will give you 90% chance of getting biglaw.
>Top 14 ranked law schools, you have to finish in the top 50% of the class 1L year
>top 25 ranked schools, top 25%
>top 50, top 10%
>top 100, top 5%
>ranked any lower and you're basically not even considered

>>1776732
for 10k you can sell (costume jewlery) from a mall kiosk

>>1776738
doesn't the mall charge a huge fee for that though

Could also start a concrete business

Advanced kneepad studies.

>>1776704

Yes.

Dual B.S Maths and Finance
then PhD Maths
then MBA from top tier school

It can be great if you do it with a year or two study abroad. Get a part time job in the summer or during school year and try to work that into a full time job.

If you only study in your home country and think you'll work overseas, it will be tough.

Next time you're doing some kind of high school fundraiser test your affinity for sales out. Instead of just having your parents buy 36 chocolate bars because you're a fucking pleb try to actually move some merch. If you like the experience at least you'll know.

>>1776646

You choose something you enjoy doing and you go ALL IN, wether its programming, designing, working with your hands or playing poker.

You become obsessed by it and completely explore every bit of information.

Dedicated hard work > Lazy genius

Take risks, no risks . . . no reward

(also pepecash is a good investment right now)

>>1776646
in highschool I was border-line retarded playing vidya RLY the whole day.

then I took a subject I was interested in and am now making my PhD in it.

Bonds are shitty. If you buy a bond, and interest rates increase before the maturation date, you have a bond worth less than what you paid for it.

So that's interest rate risk. Are you asking for a particular formula for your homework or something?

>>1776615
The duration of a bond is the length of time utill payment is due. A $10K five year bond means that the bond issuer will pay the bond holder 10K five years from the date of sale. So a 10K 5 year bond at 5% interest would sell for $7835.26.

Interest rate risk is the risk that rates will change during the duration of the bond. When interest rates rise, bond prices fall. You can buy an older bond on the secondary market that will be due at the same time as another bond. I.e. you can buy a 1 year bond today @3% or a 4 year old 5 year bond @5%. The lower rate of return for the 1 year bond means the price is higher than at a higher interest rate. That means the 5 year bond is worth more now that it was expected 4 years ago.

>If you buy a bond, and interest rates increase before the maturation date, you have a bond worth less than what you paid for it.

That is only an issue if you do not hold the bond until maturity. Though, your point is why most of us buy bond funds.

well?

Cellphone contracts are rip-offs. If you're not using pre-paid you're a fucking sucker.

Good job ripping off your family for some temporary discount, you low-rent bitch.

>>1776578
It is pre-paid, faggot

>Temporary discount
It's literally subsidizing my cellphone plan. You get $1/mth discount for every faggot you refer

>>1776533
biz is a SFW board

are you retarded? CC's are cheap as fuck and most offer trades.
sage

>>1776553
no they aren't cheap at all, no one is ever specific and acts like a "trade" is decently safe bet, and there is that image is SFW, no actual nudity

Having a trade lets you open your own business very easily to escape the wageslave life

Hahahahaha. Well, Dodd/Frank is a piece of Legislation. "Repealing" it by Executive Order is unlawful, so... you ever hear the phrase Constitutional Crisis? You're going to hear it a lot soon.

>>1776499
You could at least answer the question.

>>1776507

What will it mean for the economy? Take a look at fucking Turkey's economy since Erdogan or the Phillipines since Duterte.

he cares too much about his outside appearance to be a smart businessman

>>1776470

He's self-made and worth $13,000,000,000.

You don't accomplish that by being dumb

Because he doesn't own solarcity yet

>>1776404
Mint for tracking values and Excel for projecting them.

>>1776404
Excel mostly.

Mint refuses to track my bank account for some reason, but I can download my statement log in CSV, so it doesn't bother me too much.

>>1776404

Pen and paper.

Or you can be a millenial snowflake and buy one of those faggy apps.

Sue your past employer, don't put them on your rez claiming famy illness if they question the gap

im a senior in high school and this was supposed to be a shitter job i could use to put gas in my truck and save some money for the real world

>>1776397
Most lawyers will take a cut of the winnings. Alternatively file a complaint with the labor bureau and osha.

depends on how much, it's at a billion dollar marketcap and i dont know how much more it can go up.

i think ETH is making decision to go to proof of stake this year, which means no one will be mining, and GPU miners will most likely switch over to ETC

https://medium.com/@VitalikButerin/a-proof-of-stake-design-philosophy-506585978d51#.l82tztbc1

if you got a lot of money, and think ether will be worth more in the future, then yea, i would do it. but if you have low capital, definitely check out some other cryptocurrencies for potential higher return

>>1776307
What would you recommend, I'm talking around £1000, something I can just sit on for a few years and maybe make a couple £

>>1776249

Move out of india

How much you make from mTurlk? Thought about it but seemed to much for too little.

Thanks in advance.

>>1776249
I tried to get into it, but for some reason mturk denied me. but honestly you can't make any big money doing shit like that.
