Now, this is how I have everything broken down:

PROS OF SUB
>Cons of SUB
I would be able to have several years worth of nuclear/engineering certifications by the military.
>due to the continuing education nature of submariners, I would be in for a minimum of around 7~ years
Working on a nuclear submarine as an officer is a POWERFUL fucking resume builder
>life is miserable on submarines while deployed underwater for potentially months at a time at sea/under the surface
>the daily schedule is hell, practically no sleep and 24/7 work and study while deployed
Its a cool story
>promotions only occur from continuing education


MARINE PROS
>Marine Cons
Marines carry a more masculine sense of respect, which is a valuable tool in the law world (planning on law school as my final plan for life after service)
>Marines are also seen as brutish jar heads despite looking like a leader
My tolerance for stress and other people will be at all time highs after Marine service
>High potential to be promoted, minimum of two guaranteed promotions in my first 4 years
Wider network of 'friends' and connections, vastly more marines than submariners after all

>>1739410
If you can stomach the sub work and lifestyle, that wins hands down. Most employers would hire you from genuine curiosity if you ended up switching from "nuclear engineer" to lawyer

>>1739410
Basically you're a huge fag for wanting to go straight into being an officer. Either way you'll be an intolerable human if you don't die. Learn some some humility, Elliott. Pick the path that will teach you that and hopefully die

Make money

>>1739396
ty kys now

>>1739381
Make lots of money.

>>1739353
get a loan. pawn your shit. ask for money to your family.

if you are confident you can do it. just do it.

>>1739353
Double that $1300 in one month to $2600. Do it 7 months in a row, doubling all your investments, then you'll have $166,000.


But you probably just got lucky, enjoy the wage-slavery.

>>1739353
this works at any level of investing
accept this and the capital gains that go with it. Just keep in mind you don't know how much risk they put in for that 100,000 investment. Did he put everything in, thus risking his entire savings? Is that only 5% of his portfolio?

Why would anyone even want this drugs

old people who want to fuck

>>1739539

except they don't want to fuck

It's like a catch 22, except instead of getting out you can't get in.

Oh ok. I'll just go kill myself now

>>1739469
i've paid my dues for 15 years at the company.

>>1739302

Yes, it's a scam

>>1739348
good,now how do i tell my father the difference between swissscoin and an actualt cryptcurrency ?

It's an MLM type deal isn't it?

Some big choyna MLM crypto scheme just got in trouble but they did make a billion I believe before getting shut down. Didn't get in trouble though.

Just tell him to get in and out if he's some adamant on "investing," into it.

>>1739260
What could possibly go wrong?

If anyone falls for this, they deserve it.

>>1739260
I know it sounds ridiculous but it's worth a shot
If anything, I'd venmo the money first

>>1739260
Also coinbase, the site I use, is annoying as fuck, only reason I have a limit is because their ID verifying system is garbage (even they've acknowledged it). That's why I came here

>game of knowing markets and knowing math
nobody can know the market it's pretty much random because there are too many inputs that are random.

math will help you sure, but it's really elementary math you need. calculating compound interest (or costs) is the omega of all /biz/ calculations.

if u look into a lot of interviews with sucessful traders/investors (penny stock short term up to buffet) they dont know any math

and on the flipside the math heavy quants just automate basic TA and fundamental concepts so they dont add anything to the trading side

not sure what im getting at but theyre all idiots, dont worry about maxing out on math

If you were smart you would pay some nerd to do your math for you

lmao did you just watch the wolf of wall street or something?

>>1739152
It's just like lottery tickets.

>Can you make money off them?
Sure, there are people who have won.

>How difficult/risky is it?
Not either. Simple as buying, only risk is losing what you paid for the ticket.

>Where to buy them
Any gas station or convenience store (tickets). Brokerage (penny stocks).

You can, but learning how to do it provides you with a sub-optimal skillset that won't generalize as well to real trading arenas like futures, currencies, options, etc. The goal is to eventually get to a level that you are swinging big positions with godlike risk management. That's really the whole game of trading...getting good enough to trade big without ever being at risk of blowing up your account or allowing your emotions to end you. There's a whole bunch of little details in there and matters of specific strategies, but mechanically that's the idea: size right and control losses. Penny stocks are sort of their own subset of trading where you take on a lot of the downsides that giant traders face with very little to none of their benefits. If speculation in general is gambling, penny stocks are something else entirely. You can succeed in it and maybe it fits your personality perfectly, but if you could trade penny stocks, I would bet you could probably eventually trade any of the more mainstream stuff and if you get good at trading those (and trading in general), you'll be on your way to god mode. Treat them like a novelty at best and don't make them a big part of your overall operations and ideally not at all.

I'm not jealous of rich black guys, I just want to know how he made it and absorb some of his virtues. That's the American way.

The credit score is to show that you can have debt, and manage it correctly over time.

It's processed monthly. When you paid your entire amount down it calculates as no debts on record.

Creditors don't want to see that you have an account, and have never borrowed. At least that is what it looks like to them.

Protip: You'll need more than a revolving credit line to establish any real credit.

>>1739053
How do you transition from full time worker to full time student?

>>1739053
"Credit Score" is basically a measure of goypoints with the banks.

If you hold no balance, you're a bad goy and won't make the banks any money. Banks hate people like you.

Holding a balance shows that you're willing to play the goy games, thus you get rewarded with a higher goyscore. If you miss a payment, you become a bad goy and get a penalty to your goyscore.

read a book on it if you want to learn. people here will not help those who dont want to learn and they will only tell you the criminal way of making money.

>>1739033
I've read a couple of books. What I learned is the people making money are the ones selling the books.

Honestly I don't see any other way but making money online. Everything else is dogshit, but making money requires you to be a meme so you can sell people your crap.

>>1739044
Making money online is harder than wagecucking. By a lot.

People have started weighing in (http://www.bbc.com/news/business-38654446), it seems like there's going to be some positives according to the business community.

>>1738898
It's going to be tremendous. If the EU cooperates we get everything we want and can open up to the world.

If they are arses we can cut corporation tax aggressively and bring businesses to the UK en-masse.

>>1739213
That's what it seems like to me. I think the banks were just bluffing about leaving England if they didn't get access to the single market because of the resulting instability, despite the clear positives things like a lower corporate income tax pose for them. Even if the banks left, wouldn't the City retain relevance given the non-equity related trading that takes place?

It's kind of cute watching Europeans act like Frankfurt would become the new global financial center. The EU was just debating a financial transactions tax, while England wants to reduce the corporate income tax to like ~15%. Ffs, I'm pretty sure Chicago has more relevance to the global financial system than Frankfurt.

If you can get your preorders it's usually guaranteed profit-- if they actually sell out. If they don't and you're stuck with a few units, they can always be returned.

How much depends on the supply. Nintendo is probably going to churn out a billion of these pieces of shit, and their demand is fairly low because no one cares about Nintendo any more. The last time they made anything worth a damn was the 3DS.

That's why every homeless motherfucker in the country camps out the week before to snatch up pre-releases. Scalpers gonna scalp.

The best money is selling to foreigners. Overseas customers will pay a bundle for a US unit if their launch date is still months off...

>>1738866
>The best money is selling to foreigners.
Foreigners like to steal so be careful dealing with them.

If you had done this with the original Wii you could have made decent money. With this latest paperweight, sorry I mean white elephant, beg your pardon I mean console, we're not guaranteed either the high demand or scarcity of the Wii launch.

You may be able to speculate longer term by buying now and holding it in mint condition for 10+ years or however long it takes to get ironic retro appeal. People are speculating silly money on stuff like the Star Wars Lego kits at the moment.
