ITT: skills you can gain completely in the comfort of your own room and potentially earn a good salary.
>Computer programming
1 year of intense practice and you can get a job as a junior developer, or even better, create an app/website to generate money.
>Music producing
If you listen to a lot of music, download FL studio or something, and learn how to edit and produce music. At least you can get a job at a studio if you're autistic enough to learn the ins and outs but not talented enough to make any good songs.
>Languages
It takes 500-1000 hours to become fluent in most languages. After two years you can get paid to translate.
> Day trading.
You can learn the music of the markets with about 2 years of study&practice. Don't worry about losing money, you'll be practice trading with monopoly money until you've found your personal trading style.

>you'll be practice trading with monopoly money until you've found your personal trading style.
Where can I practice like that? How profitable could I expect day trading to be after a couple years of practice?
>>1682149
Thing is, when you graduate from monopoly money to your own hard earned cash, you start subconsciously shitting your pants, causing you to underperform.

Should I go to HR or just fuck this creepy little faggot up in the parking lot during lunch break tomorrow like it's fucking high school?
>>1681821
the latter, then you should go to HR and fuck the HR drones on company time.
>>1681827
I would probably rape my HR lady if I ever had a moment with her alone. Big sexy tits and a cute face. Id lock her in a room and fuck her for hours. Too bad she avoids me.

I wonder why...
Going to college late?
> be me
> 20 y/o
> just about to start college, May '17
> economics/politics degree with minor in CS
> Is it too late to start college /biz/bros?
I feel I am way more mature now with my thinking style, and that I can form better arguments, have better talking points, overall just more "evolved" than I was at 17/18 like my friends who went at that time.
Will it be hard for me to succeed since I'm starting late?
Thanks /biz/, been lurking since 17, learned a lot of neat stuff, and read countless college threads, finally asking my most pressing question.
Canadafag btw.
>>1681791
Is it a Bitcoin college?
>>1681792
Not sure what that means, but it's a university in Southern Ontario Canada.
>>1681791
You can roll your eyes all the time anybody says anything and constantly remind people that you're WWAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY older than them and definitely not a huge fag

They talk about paying out an average of 5-7% annual returns. Seems like a comfy place to park a few grand. Anyone do this?
At 5% to 7% it seems like Vanguard Index funds would be a safer option.
>>1681596
Index funds are correlated with the market though.
If it's a reliable and safe place to grow money I could see it being an alright option for diversification. I don't know how big the risks are.
Say i want to start a electronic business in NY (a la IOT device development). How much money should i leech away from the bank so i don't fuck my credit up, and maintain the highest profit margin?

How would /biz/ smuggle a kilo of cocaine from Colombia to New York City?
Price of a kilo in Colombia
>$3,300
Price of a kilo in NYC
>$33,000
Price of a kilo sold gram by gram in NYC (fishscale)
>$75,000
Price of a kilo sold gram by gram in NYC (cut)
>$100,000+
I am too little for prison. And I just say no to drugs.
>>1681448
The reason the price difference is so large is that it's extremely difficult to smuggle.
Drug cartels usually use mules and just accept that some of them will be caught.
You don't have the resources for that.

Graduating this May with a degree in Supply Chain Management with an Information Systems minor. Had an internship for 6 months last year and the company offered me a job paying 50k plus bonuses and incentives. Should I take this or try and find something else?
>>1681390
Take it but don't quit applying at other places. Something is better than nothing but don't stop looking for a better paying job.
>>1681390
Take it.
But what kind of shitty university offers degrees in supply chain management? Devry?
Why aren't all economists rich?
Because the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
Depends on what they did with their education. To be an "economist" nowadays you only require an undergrad, however, those that study further into a Masters, and more appropriately a PhD will reap the rewards.
After this, private companies will poach you if you've made any sort of effort to network.
Most economists are marxists and believe in debt based spending.
You cant get rich giving all your money away to gib dats tax and then go into debt for consumerist waste
I have the (bad) habit of accruing debt for the month(s), then paying it all in one go.
Say I owe $700 in credit card debt for that month because I pay my expenses off with it. Then, I pay the minimum enough to skate by for that month, but pay it all in one chunk the following month using 2-3 paychecks saved up.
Is this a bad thing to do? Or will my credit be fine?
>>1681376
>throwing away money
>not a bad thing to do
I do the same thing, except it's sometimes 2-3 months, or sometimes 5-6 months
Everyone just tells me no its bad, but I can't find anything that says it's "hurting" my credit.
I am making the minimums and I'm not 100% charged. I actually make like 2x the minimums, or 3x.
>>1681389
What do you mean?
I use it to pay monthly expenses, rent, food, gas, utilities, etc.
Is chartered accountancy a meme?
Is being an accountant still ""safe"""? Is it as soul destroying as normies make it out to be?
I thought of doing this because it's a good backdoor and education if I decide to start my own business in the future. Is this right?
I assume you are Canadian.
Accounting is the basis on all business. A foundation in accounting is an excellent first step in a business career.
Accounting is a boring job for boring people, but yes it is absolutely safe. It's in high demand and always will be, and it pays fairly well. One thing about accounting that amuses me is how most people think you need to be some sort of math genius to get into it, which is total horseshit. Accounting is arguably the best choice of career path for someone who isnt great at math.
My wife is a CPA. Most people hate the work.
She is looking to move out of it to do private accounting in-house (not uncommon among CPAs).
But everyone in her graduating class got a job so yes it is safe.

how long does it take for funds to be settled after you sell a stock on scottrade? is there any brokergae that doesnt make you wait between buying and selling?
>>1681277
Settlement times are SEC mandated, and are the same regardless of brokerage.
It can seem like you're getting around it if you have a margin account, but this is really because you're borrowing more, rather than using unsettled funds.
>>1681289
ty but how long does it take
