I have the opportunity to attend the shittiest university or the best college in my state. The best college has agreements with a lot of the best universities here, so it's easy to transfer, but the university has no agreements with better universities.
Have any of you went to college before transferring to university? Do you have any advice on it?
I want to study computer science but I didn't get in because I finished my high school too late, so now instead of waiting I want to go and do something so I'm not wasting my time any more. My option is to attend college, for a certificate in Justice and then transfer into one of the better universities in my state. Or I could waste another year at home and maybe get kicked out.
Thoughts? Please help.

Don't go to college, go to community college and transfer. You'd have to be a chump to spend the extra thousands to learn you generals. But I'm sure it's your parents money and you want the "college experience".
>>1499928
I'm in Canada, so the college is a community college, each city near me (GTA) has its own college.
Yeah my parents have a bit of money but it's not an infinite resource unfortunately
I don't care about the experience I just want a job and an apartment and a nice car out of life.
>>1499938
Take the community college route. I did and saved at least $15k. Now I'm at a somewhat prestigious out of state university.
If I have 7 million euros, would I be able to live the rest of my life without working?
>>1499915
Depends on how comfortable you want to live.
If you want a giant mansion and fancy car and party every day, itll be gone in the blink of an eye.
If you live like a common joe with a common house, a common car and make the right purchases and investments, it should last you for the rest of your life
>>1499915
Yes
it would be a waste of a life.
So, I just bought some 18.50 strike call options on SLV that expire on october 21st, am I gonna be fucked?
http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/slv/option-chain/161021C00018500-slv-call

>>1499905
I figured I'll prolly be fucked but I just had an urge to buy those options. What is that pic you posted?
I just found out my family has been receiving over $250/month in food stamps, whenever I found out, I instantly burst into treats. I knew my parents were poor, but I didn't realize how poor they were. It really put things into perspective to me. I just want to crawl into a ball and die. Any other government assistance bros here?
Thanks for reading my blog post. If you feel like commenting I'll be sure to give you a (You).
>>1499856
My parents live on disability/social security/savings, so I've seen how government assistance do you.
It's pretty nice if you already own a modest home.
>>1499856
>I instantly burst into treats
You fucking heartless scumbag. kys
I did for about 6 months, some people need help sometimes.
Hey, anons, is buying a degree a meme? Is it legit? Can you do it for low end jobs? Are sites offering it trustworthy?
Bump for questions unanswered.
Don't waste your money. They almost never ask for proof. ALl you have to do is lie on your resume. Just don't pretend to be a doctor or something where you will be exposed.
Say you have a degree in Business/Commerce/Economics. Get some office job where a degree is useless, all you need is a couple of weeks on the job training.
>>1499800
Yes. By the very nature of things it cannot be 'legit'; a counterfeit that would fool a background check is likely above the scope of most operations. You could do it for any job, this does not guarantee success.
And no. They are not trustworthy. They will not give you a refund if their product fails to function as ordered, nor will most do any sort of work to stand up to a background check.
How does monetizing subtitles work on youtube?
I'd like to make non-english subtitles for reviewers or let's players on youtube.
This is how I imagine it: I contact the youtuber, he responds, make a deal, send him the subtitles, he adds it to the video and that would generate money.
Now this is a perfect scenario and I realize it's not gonna be that easy, so how do I actually approach things?
bump for interest
so I get it that nobody here has tried it?
Haven't tried, but I'm interested
>copy Warren Buffet's portfolio
>invest $1000 every year
>become a billionaire after 50 years on an average 30% compound return
Why is no one doing this? You don't even have to learn anything about investing or trading. All you have to do is just follow what Warren Buffet is doing. Its not even that hard. Theres absolutely NO WAY this strategy can fail unless the entire US Economy collapses because Warren Buffet IS the US Economy.
You don't understand what his portfolio actually is. It's not simply public stock ownership, but private equity ownership.
>>1499748
>Why is no one doing this?
because /biz/ and hs finance class told me I don't have time to learn to pick investments like Warren. I should just buy indeces and mutual funds let the professionals do the work for me for modest fees hope there isn't another big recession in the decade I retire
Why would you do something as gauche as simply copying a master's work?
Ethics time again!
I run a small business,
Almost every aspect, and every idea I have to improve the business is denied by the owner, either the cash is a problem or one of the other 20 excuses, I feel as if he doesn't care for the business; it is just there to pay the rent.
After some maths I realise I can afford to start one in the same field, about 500mtrs from his and my improvements will carry it through the clouds.
Would doing so be unethical?
>>1499738
the fact that you have to ask says you'll fail
>>1499738
No. That's the definition of capitalism. If you can do it better, do so.
>>1499738
Are you in some way subservient to your boss in some aspect of your life other than running the business?
If it's like your uncle or something I wouldn't burn that bridge; he's going to die eventually and you can just take it over once he's dead.
If he's not family or a really close family friend, fuck him if you can outdo him.

so my grandma is going to pay for my college education but it has to be at a university and not a community college because she doesn't believe in the quality of them. the problem is that my scores are extremely average. should i just go to any old shitty as school? the ones i can get into don't even have engineering for fucks sake.
Where are you located?
>>1499680
I'm in Pennsylvaia, USA, one of the shittiest, most expensive in state costs for college in the country. it would cost me $30,000 per year to go to Penn State as an in-state student, lmao.
>>1499685
Then you better make granny proud and bring those scores up, shithead
I'm 28 years old. I take home ~$4,500 a month driving a tractor trailer and have been driving since I was 22. Besides food and shit, I really have no expenses besides my cell phone bill, Netflix, Spotify.
What should I do from now on? I really like my job and enjoy to travel. I get to go to Zoos and Museums on my day off. I like stopping at flea markets and stuff. I really like the company I work for and hope to become a Driver Manager or Safety Coordinator one day where I can work at the terminal and be home every night. Until then, I have no motivation to buy a home or rent a place. I go home for 2-3 days maybe once or twice a month, and just crash on the couch at my Dad's or Grandma's home.
I have almost ~$150K in savings, most of it in a Money Market, some in CDs, and about $1,400 split between my checking and savings accounts. I have ~$42K in my 401K, which I started putting money into about 3 years ago. Should I begin investing in the markets?
>>1499658
Allocate about 35% of that and invest in bluechip stocks or an index fund. You have a lot of cash saved up to even put a down payment on an investment property. Make that money work for you. Don't let it just sit there. Invest it in stocks or real-estate.
Save your money. Don't invest. You're not an investor. Morons on /biz/ that know absolutely nothing will tell you to invest. Don't do it.
>>1499664
He really should just put all his money into index funds after the next market crash if he's just going to let it sit there.
I hate those faggots
>do absolutely nothing except take off and landing
>get paid like +100k$ year if you aren't a new f/o

Aren't you required to spend 8 hour shifts essentially looking at clouds?
Can you even shitpost on your phone using the plane's wifi, or would that be against regulations since you're not at attention?
Seems boring
>>1499643

>>1499639
got no balls/cash to spend 80k$
>always wanted to be a stock broker
where do I start?
>>1499632
You're literally a salesman.
You may as well be a real estate agent.
>>1499637
the average salary is high
I doubt id be average
much better than real estate agents
btw why question something someone wants to do it adds nothing to the thread
>try r9k
>>1499632
start at the bottom. now we here.
for real though start by enrolling in a finance degree program at a reputable university.

> How is it free?
They invest your unsettled funds after a trade. It's also pretty basic software.
> When is it coming to my country?
Probably never. They only have plans on an Australian beta.
> It's been X days, why isn't my account verified yet?
If it takes more than 3 days, try emailing their support. They are very good.
> Is this the place to pump and dump and/or shill a worthless stock?
No, go to stocktwats or suckingalpha (you'll find plenty of it here anyway, though)
> I hit sell when the stock was X.XX, but it actually sold at a lower price, am I being jewed?
No, that would actually be illegal. Robinhood graphs are just shit and only show you an average, not-really-realtime price. To get Bid/Ask prices and important things like candlestick graphs, you should use a more robust platform.
> Where can I get better charting or bid/ask?
thinkorswim is bretty gud if you want to go open a second account with real broker.
Otherwise you should be using stockcharts.com, finviz, or Yahoo/Google finance for your graphing in addition to Robinhood.

No, it's not applicable for limited margin accounts (instant), and if you don't have instant, RH won't let you buy with unsettled funds.
> Can I use Robinhood on my PC?
Yes, download an android emulator. Setup is extremely easy. http://www.memuplay.com/

what's gonna happen to mstx lads
>>1499671
It will crash and burn like all the other meme pharmaceutical companies.
Today at 11:30 EST MSTX CEO is giving his presentation to potential investors at the investors conference.
If you have shares in MSTX you need to decide before 11:30 am if you are sticking around for results or jumping ship.
The hype train is over and i'm sure as soon as he starts speaking hype riders are going to dump their shares.
Link to stream presentation is on Mast's website under investors tab.
I dont think MSTX is releasing data today but it will be before the end of the month.
