What other skills and qualifications do you have? 120 wpm is good but it's not quite career good.

Maybe you could learn keyboard stenography and become a court reporter?

>>1284048
120wpm as well. Just got a job last week typing court transcripts from home. Little over $25 an hour. Not something to do for the rest of your life, but its a job.

>>1284081
Where did you go to get a job like this?

Another thing holding me back is that I don't have my GED/Diploma.

>>1284079
I'm not really looking for a career, just something that's better than my $8.50 fast food job.

There will never be post scarcity because the rich will never allow it. They are not happy with what they have but what they can deprive others of having.

As long as there are non whites on the planet, there will never be post scarcity

>>1284024
One of two options with cornucopia technology:

1. Those who possess the capital to own such technology will keep it from the masses, creating artificial scarcity as >>1284053 says.
2. Redistributive policies will exist such that everyone is given a substantial basic income and the owners of the technology are unable to artificially limit supply.

It's all a matter of how the populace responds. It seems unlikely they'll be okay with increasing wealth disparity forever. Consider how close Bernie Sanders has gotten to the presidency as evidence of that.

But all that aside, we'll never truly be "post-scarcity" as entertainment and art will always be scarce, and we'll always be able to have marketable industries around those products.

Nice try IRS

If you can become an actuary with that become an actuary
Finance if you graduate in a good percentile of your class, go to a prestigious school or mix it with a quantitative degree like math, engineering, physics, statistics etc
Accounting if you realistically expect yourself to do mediocre and want job security

Finance is traditionally the best paying by all statistics. It is only one that is same level with engineering, computer science etc.

But that assume you'll get a banking job. Banks are not hiring too much 2016

I looked into actuary but it seemed to be entirely consumed by high level math alone, am I misguided?

The school is top 80s nationally with a huge emphasis on co ops. What would set a career in finance apart and worst case scenario what kind of salary would I be looking at in a mid sized city?

Again, accounting just seems like sitting Ina back room crunching numbers all day. I'd love a sure bet middle class lifestyle but if my perception is true, I'd go nuts doing that for decades.

By the same token productive companies swap tangible goods and services for US dollars

US dollars are a meme

??

>>1283811
>productive companies

This is up for debate

>>1283811
>US dollars are a meme.
If memes are the most stable and reliable currency in the world that you can literally use to purchase anything you want, then sure. What a meme!

Daily reminder to gas all goldfags.

I'd buy a miata and rent a house on the Napa coast for a week, then spend the rest of the money on male hookers and wine tastings.

>loljk, but I would buy a cheap car to fix up & drive

>>1283812
pffft, kek

>>1283808
same shit as the other $30k i have i guess.
mostly bonds because it's too small for meaningful investments.

advice from someone who did sci/com(math/finance) is go into computer science. look to the future if you want to ball hard. it probably wont be finance by the time you get out./

i would give away my commerce degree for a pack of cigarettes. future is things like computers, robotics, AI.

Forget accounting. waste of your time

>>1283860
How is it a waste? Won't people always need accountant

No idea, but I hear for these sort of jizzrag jobs you usually get two years form it then move up to another company till eventually you get an actual job somewhere.

>>1283644
This. Starting at helpdesk you basically have to move 2-3 times at an interval of a year each before you get to the point where you're actually getting a salary.

One tip: try to avoid on-call work. Shit sucks yo.

>>1283648

I'm well aware of oncall work. I like to sleep

You will never work as a lawyer straight out of uni. You will always be in a weird helper/trainee type position.
Im not 100% but dont you need to work for a law firm (as a helper or someshit) until you pass the legal lawyer exams?

>but do all fresh undergrads do slave unrelated labor??
yes
>how much time passes after diploma until u make your first buck?
takes a while. law market isn't great for financial gain right now. very oversupplied. lots of "paralegals" making 30 - 50k a year, if even that.

>>1283527
i would also appreciate a smart persons POV

shit for a while, at least 2-4 years until supply matches falling demand. i work at a very large oil company and we're preparing for prices in the $35-45/bbl range for the next 3 years

"As a result, Papa said he thinks oil prices will rise in six to 18 months and reach “a stable equilibrium price in the range of $60 to $75 per barrel, what I call a ‘Goldilocks’ price.” He said $90/bbl to $100/bbl is unlikely—while a long-term price below $45/bbl is equally unlikely.

“You start getting 20 million cubic feet per day out of there and similar finding and development costs to the Marcellus and Utica, and you’ll have three large supply pools with roughly the same F&D costs. At a gas price of $2.50 or if you’re lucky, $3, your IRR on individual wells is going to be quite attractive. This is going to back up all the gas in the Rockies and in Canada.”

Papa said he thinks sub-$2 will fade in the rearview mirror and a more reasonable band of $2.50 to $3 will be seen in 2017.

“Longer-term is where you can get kind of depressed,” he said. “The U.S. has a sufficient gas supply for 50 years. And I think that LNG exports in the time frame of 2018 to 2020, of about 6 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) out of a total production of 80 Bcf/d by that time, are not going to be enough to fix the problem.”
Papa said we’ll be in a similar oversupply situation for NGL as well."

Please just answer my question

The one where you're forced to buy it at the end is retarded, never do it.

>>1283425

money market account

>>1283425
Why that much in a checking account?

I understand the S&P 500 has risks. I also understand that past results are no promise of future results. But even in a doomsday type scenario, I can't see it going down more than 30-40%.

Do you already have a lot of money parked in stocks, too?

I just came into it (military fag) for selling my soul for another 2 years.

I make about $2500 a month so I can't afford to lose much of anything because I'm looking for houses soon and would like to slap a fat down payment on it

I want to go in Colorado in summer

Weed could be very profitable for governments and companies, but then again prison labour is also lucrative and so are the toxic drugs sold by big Pharma.
