Humana stocks probably just be recalled, I'd guess. I think Athena is the bigger one

>>1661070
Aetna is the bigger one, what happens when stocks are recalled?

>>1661082
There's no such thing as a stock being "recalled", that's not even a term. What happens to your shares depends on the details of the deal.

Since the IPO, not all his wealth has been in shares.

Company pays his expenses

What about other billionaires like Bezos(80000) and Warren Buffett (100000)?

It's part of the process. If you work with it, and make an effort to surpass it, you can get 10 times the satisfaction from your life than any insta-whatever could dream of.

For every action, equal and opposite reaction. Absence makes the heart fonder, blah blah you get it. think about how that applies to your life.

Do well at your current job, be enthusiastic and courteous even if you have to force it. Your job might suck but your life wont if you don't let it. The goal is to be above your job, if you don't even try and throw a pity party, you don't deserve to move on to better things.

Make an effort, every single day, to surpass your job, and it will happen. Consider it a blessing that youre getting your fair share of retail experience, its best to be familiar with the thing that you don't wanna do for the rest of your life.

>1. Do you believe working in mcdonalds for example, is a waste of time? Since you barely have any impact on the profits, you can't suggest changes, and there is barely any place for promotion?
No comment. Don't care.

>2. Do you believe "An outsider" is always needed? What I mean by an outsider is.. A person who does not work in your business(or is new to your business), that can notice the problems you don't because you are used to them.
More important question is: what is the company's openness to change? How much do they value the input of this "outsider"?

>3. Most of the new businesses nowadays reach bankruptcy pretty quickly. Do you believe luck is a big factor to it, or is it mostly because the owner doesn't know how to reach profits?
Not nowadays. Since time immemorial.
Also define 'luck'

>4. Lastly, Assuming you'll be given 150,000$, Do you believe you'll be able to double this amount? If so, how long will it take you?
Do I want to? Maybe I just want to piss it away on blow, hookers, and chartered flights? Maybe the value proposition of that lifestyle, even for a short while is more valuable than double that dollar value at a later stage in my life when I'll be too old, too cynical, less healthy or mobile or perhaps my social group will be more 'responsible' and less willing to indulge in the experience with me.

But assuming I'm not so imprudent: 6 years, because I will piss away a lot of it, and I will make some financial mistakes

1. No, it's a tool to get you where you want to go, but it's not a career path.

2. Absolutely. In everything. Especially once you become rich because you'll be surrounded by fake people that always praise you or jealous people that want to bring you down. An outsider doesn't care. He has no stake in it so he'll be honest. Someone at the business might not be or might be based on what is beneficial to them.

3. No, that's what jealous people say. We can cherry pick, but if you look overall, businesses beat the competition by being superior. Tesla is winning because they have a better product. Facebook destroyed (literally) MySpace with how successful it became. You get the idea. Businesses fail all the time. That's part of the life, you'll fail more than you'll succeed, but that one time you do is all that matters. Get used to it.

4. $150,000 is A LOT of money if used wisely, but most people are better off letting it grow by itself.

However, if we're talking a clean slate, I'd probably be able to do it honestly. I'd say maybe a few months if that. 6 months at most and a year worst case scenario.

I've seen a lot in this field and it made me more open minded. There's actually A LOT of ways to make money. I have a friend that sells digital items on his server in a video game. The server pays for itself, the items are digital so there's no cost there, and people are willing to spend a lot of money. He has various tiers of items. The best of the best cost $100, but the worst are like $5. He makes thousands a month and doesn't really do much honestly. Better than McDonald's that's for sure and it's growing.

Flappy Bird was making $50,000 a day. I believe with $150,000 you can be really successful if you play it smart. A lot of these things are cheap as shit, but high return.

A domain and website are extremely cheap and imagine what you could do with it. Sell some products for $100 a piece and market to the right people that will spend it and you're set.

Easy peasy.

1. It's experience, assuming you're a teenager or you've never held another job yes it is worthwhile. Otherwise no, leave and find something better.

2. why do you think there are so many consultancies?

3. luck is a big factor, yes. so is networking and actually having a genuinely good idea. there's also a mindset that anyone can start a business and be successful. the problem with that is the average person has an average level of intelligence and drive, which is rarely enough to start a successful business.

4. what i think you're implying is how long would it take to invest it in a company i've set up and double it that way? i'd never invest it in the first place, if you start a company you should be looking to external sources of funding, not putting a significant chunk of your own into it unless you want to suicide 5 years down the line. if you can't even convince a few jews that you have an idea worth investing in, how are you going to convince potential clients?

Two alternatives:
Move to another country
Get a VPN

>>1660787
I will most likely move to the US next year (at least I'll try to)

I don't think a vpn would work because it doesn't change the fact I have a French bank with French currency

>>1660790

>he doesn't work on Christmas

You bunch of lazy faggots, even if you work for yourself you have no excuse.

>>1660704
I have seem people with legitimate reasons for saying this. Its usually when your company starts giving you tasks that were never outlined in your job description.

>>1660704
Maybe they went in with a wide eyed view of what the job entailed. Maybe they have a supervisor or employer who pushes them beyond the job description.
Maybe seasonal changes have caused their position to be more stressful than it normally was.

IT'S CALLED REAL-LIFE EXPERIENCE MAN! EVERYONE'S ALLOWED TO MAKE MISTAKES. IT'S HOW WE GET BETTER AND LESS STUPID.

>>1660746
Then why didn't you quit? You're not paid enough right?

>>1660556
did you remember to say that you're hiring, state the requirements for the position, tell them the pay and hours you're offering, estimate how long the work will last, and give them contact info to apply in private?

>>1660563
I said we're hiring, outlined what the job would entail and what the requirements are. I didn't specify hours and payment on the add tho, and I said to contact/apply to the business on facebook. That might seem a bit unprofessional, but I figured it would be more convenient and persuade more people to apply than the classic processes of sending a portfolio somewhere.

I would like to leave payment to negotiation and not make it public, but I should probably say how much hours I offer and how long a project usually takes. Thanks

artstation dummy

on that note i actually know a guy who is experienced in maya/vray. would you like me to put him in contact with you?

What is the website address?

>>1660527
It's a bigcartel subdomain you can google it. I don't understand how they get away selling stuff with straight up company logos on it

I assume it's treated like an extracurricular as opposed to a qualification by recruiters. May be a tie-breaker but don't expect them to pounce on you, welcoming you with open arms just because you did "Business Administration" at Eurotown University Online

Taking the course just to pad your resume is a waste. But taking the course to learn a useful skill is fine.

I haven't taken a course, but they seem reasonably priced.

Personally for me I want to learn Python, I regret never taking a computer science course in college, although yes I'm not fooling myself that this course alone would help me land a better position. I'm trying out the free material for now.

I'm kind of taken by the film festival idea

>Can get prizes for below market value: but still be desirable
>If I brand it properly it'll be attractive to filmmakers because it will look like it has prestige even though it's all new
>Can charge for tickets, while I get the content for free
>If it gets big, I can even charge application fees
>Potential to scale up

The costs associated will a film festival are the prize money ($1,000), the cost to rent the theater, and the cost of advertising.

Revenue comes from tickets sold.

Ask an old local small theater how much to rent a theater, and that will give you a starting point to figure out how profitable it would be.

These things are a TON of work and usually not very profitable the first year. So it's a labor of love, not a get-rich quick scheme.

Good advice. Can already think of a couple of venues

>These things are a TON of work and usually not very profitable the first year. So it's a labor of love, not a get-rich quick scheme.
This is what I was afraid of. I was thinking of using events as a way of bankrolling a creative enterprise, but I'd rather put the effort into the enterprise itself rather than a festival... hmmm

>>1660426
At least 1 mil in today's dollars. It'll be like 35 years though, I try not to think about it - I'm more concerned with unNEETing myself right now and living large while I'm still relatively young and relatively attractive.

>>1660426
Piece of shit.

I don't want an inheritance. I want living parents. You are a piece of crap for thinking like that. You parents should take you off the will or spend all their money before they die.

Hell if I get one sure that'd be cool but it won't make up for the fact that I don't have parents. Not by a long shot.

But I hope that is far in the future. Both parents half at least 30 more years on them

What about jobs like low-level bureaucracy jobs? Surely being a clerk at one of those offices would net me something
