I have a STEM degree, and I realize now I should have went into finance because STEM is a fucking meme. I was thinking about working toward my CPA designation.
Based on government websites, the outlook for CPA's (Chartered Professional Accountants) seems good/positive.
What does /biz/ think? Is this a good career to get into? What about 4 years from now?
which STEM degree did you get?
CPA is god tier, you can become COO, CFO, CEO, CIO, anything.
It takes a lot of work though.
Well worth it, easily six figures, quarter millions, as long as you can network and aren't a dimwit.
What the fuck /biz/?

WHY IS NO ONE SHILLING?
My god so many minutes no replies...
This board isn't about wanting to do well, it's about shilling crypto memes.
Fuck.
Worked for a Big 4 firm and they were investing tons in to cyber security. OP is right.

Because of the sensitive nature of these things, would it prevent Chinese and Indians from coming over and dominating the space? That has kept me wary of IT in the past. Now I work for comparative peanuts as a Network Security guy for a local public library. Would be interested in doing cybersec.
Im thinking about buying a duplex. I have over 3 years of credit history with an 800 FICO. I also have more than enough to make a down payment. Problem is I am self employed and dont have any taxes from previous years to prove income. Would bank statements work from past few months? Or will banks just laugh at me? I want the lowest possible rate.
Bank statements will help. Be sure you have your taxes in order

well? what the fuck? someone respond.
With legalization happening in the spring of 2017 in Canada and more and more states are increasingly legalizing it, would going long on marijuana stocks be a wise decision?

Understanding of the precedence social media has in the world
No-shits given attitude
Even if he is considered satan, he has no problem admitting it, and explaining why he's a necessary evil in the world
I used to hate this guy. Then I thought more about the health care industry. At least he produces results in a time-sensitive manner and pushes for development of drugs pertaining to rare diseases.
Poor people hate him for profiting off of the drug business. People with no options, looking for a cure, don't hate him nearly as much and look at him as something to at least produce results for their respective ailments.

Sociopathy
I'm a male, but I've found there is a massive profit margin to be made paying camgirls and craigslist whores for timestamped pics.
Once you've 'proven' you are a real woman that initial time, it's easy to fob people off with excuses when they subsequently ask for vids, more pics etc, although sometimes you can ask the same woman to buy more pics to keep the front going
Payment is usually Amazon cards, steam voucher codes, bitcoin. I initially tried this on /soc/, and while I found I made a profit (I still could now) there are certainly many people there doing the same, and worse, real women with orbiters getting the money
/r9k/ is the absolute goldmine. Aside from the fact there are virtually no women, the desperation of the user base is a magnitude higher than /soc/ and that's saying something. Getting into skype groups is best, because when multiple orbiters are aware of each other they will often compete. I don't make a ton of money, but I make enough to pay the rent, other bills, and most of the other luxuries like that I want in my relatively frugal life. Although I actually went there just to skim money at first, I sometimes even brag in the 'NEET vs wagies' thread about how I don't have to work and make more than some of the /r9k/ users

Put up a start up guide, anon
>>1494939
I have known this very hot now 19-year-old girl since we were kids, and she now is sort of in the business of doing this small-scale. She meets little Internet sugar daddies that throw her $100 or so for books and stuff and in exchange she sends them some vids. We recently made a gagging video, my dick is pretty big so it was best for the shot I suppose, but she's not making enough for me to ask her to give me some of the monies. How can she maybe escalate this up a level without exposing herself to publicity like porn stars have to? The main benefit of this is that it's more personal and there's a lot less risk as far as getting fucked over or exposed goes.
>>1494979
>sends videos to people on the web
>don't want to expose her
Dude, as soon as some "sugardaddy" gets upset that she does not blow him, he will put those vids up and doxx her at the same time.
Might as well start pimping her out. Less risks.
What prevents you from putting ads on a webpage and then giving yourself clicks through proxies?
Sounds like easy money to me
>>1494913
no one has ever thought of this before, certainly not ad providers
>>1494926
I did ask what prevents one from doing it
Well, what do ad providers do to prevent such scams?
>>1494930
detect behaviour like someone just clicking on a link and immediately bouncing, along with ip and cookie tracking, stuff like tor exit nodes and public proxies are likely monitored too
I just put $20 on a circle account like an hour ago, converted it to bitcoins, and I just checked now and I have $20.07!

It's never wrong to take profits.
But this coin looks ok, seems to have good community and good devs. So if you're in with money you don't need, I'd say hold on a while longer and see how high it can go.
What is the best way for me to invest $1000?
>>1494876
>BUY [insert P&D]. You'll be a trillionare in a year.
1.Max out an employer match in your 401K.
2.Open IRA (Roth if you're younger). Vanguard Index funds usually have a minimum buy-in of 3k
3.Place in high-interest savings account
If you can't do the first, try the others in order. Ignore tips to invest in single stocks. Day trading isn't feasible for a newbie. Play the long game

>buy $3,000 worth of counterfeit money
>buy drugs with it

I've almost finished a law degree (Juris Doctor) at a decent university (Michigan).
Am I doomed to be a wage slave? I'm kind of worried. The pervading negativity around here makes me feel like I'm not gonna make it.
Sky's the limit, bro.
LLM graduate, class of 2013. Any day now I'm going to make supervisor in the TKMaxx I work at.
>>1494809
With a degree from a good law school, you should be able to make a pretty good wage. Most lawyers in the U.S., the ones you hear about who cannot find work or make a pittance, are graduated from the many garbage law schools.
I'd be very surprised if you were not able to find a high-paying job as a corporate lawyer for a multinational firm. You won't be your own boss but you'll make quite a bit more than the median wage.

if you're a 3L at umich and you're seriously asking this question, you're clueless
thus the answer is yes
Look at how fucking good this burger looks. It was made by a robot who does so in a fraction of the time of a human, with none of the complaints, none of the health insurance, none of the worrying about firing or training, none of that bullshit. Of course it costs a bit more at the start, but after a year or two it pays for itself.
Why are burger flippers still a thing? Why aren't these machines used all across the country?
>>1494799
Because I don't want chopped onions, which falls off the bun easily from the side. It's sliced or nothing.

When your robot breaks it takes weeks to fix it and costs thousands of dollars. When Rhonda breaks you can find a Jimmy to replace her in about 15 minutes with very little expense.
People like talking to other people. People don't like talking to robots.
People help prevent theft. Robots not so much.
People aren't usually very busy so it doesn't cost much to hire them. Robots only have one purpose and they still cost quite a bit.
Managers like having people around to stick their dicks into. Robots aren't as much fun for that.
Businesses need to be liked by their customers and the general public. Firing everyone and replacing them with robots doesn't achieve that goal as nicely as hiring people does.
Once everything is automated and nobody has a job, businesses will be taxed at 93.5% to pay for humanity to exist anyways, so they might as well get something out of the deal and employ people.
Robots aren't fun to look at. Sexy teenage cashiers and cooks are fun to look at.
Your mother is a robot.

You get up two and a half million dollars, any asshole in the world knows what to do: you get a house with a 25 year roof, an indestructible Jap-economy shitbox, you put the rest into the system at three to five percent to pay your taxes and that's your base, get me? That's your fortress of fucking solitude. That puts you, for the rest of your life, at a level of fuck you. Somebody wants you to do something, fuck you. Boss pisses you off, fuck you! Own your house. Have a couple bucks in the bank. Don't drink. That's all I have to say to anybody on any social level. Did your grandfather take risks? I guarantee he did it from a position of fuck you. A wise man's life is based around fuck you. The United States of America is based on fuck you. You have a navy? Greatest army in the history of mankind? Fuck you! Blow me. We'll fuck it up ourselves.
