/biz/ I'm in a quandry.
I know if I want to become independent and start my family off the right way, with trust funds etc, I need to start and own my own business. The problem is I'm really, really, bad at seeing problems that the general populace needs solved. The only business idea I have is opening a bank (unrealistic because of the huge amount of capital involved) or some kind of investment fund (again, highly regulated and requires huge amounts of up front investment I simply don't have). What types of businesses are out there that don't require huge start up costs but for someone who only knows finance? I'm studying finance because I was told that I'm a sociopath and only care about money, and perhaps that's true, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of room for new businesses in this space.
Any advice?

I've considered going that route, my only concern is that it requires some time in the field to fully grasp the pricing models that work well. I'm already older than my student peers because I took time off from school to work full-time and feel this route would put me even further behind.

Work for a few random businesses until you find one that is rolling in money and has ridiculous profit margins.
Learn everything.
Then leave and start your own.
This is what I did.

I have tried to find the retards in this board in numerous occasions:
>>1096360
Imagine if they:
1) Maintained a long term BTC position by understanding BTC is all that matters
2) Shorted ETH and dumped during the clear peak before the dump
2) Profitted by diversifying on some MAID and profiting for the initial pump (still done)
3) Basically keep making your BTC wallet bigger and see it grow as we march towards the next ATH
Jesus fucking christ. Im making too much money.

Buy the Ethereum dip. Soon Ethereum will double in value. Do not end up a BTC bagholder for chinese miners.
Ethereum will make crypto real.
Ethereum will be the biggest and most secure blockchain very quickly. The number of nodes is growing very fast and will overtake bitcoin this year.
Ethereum will become the de facto blockchain by 2017.
Guaranteed to be over a billion market cap before christmas 2016
Ethereum is a breath of fresh air to the general public who are sick to death of bitcoin and are not easily fooled by the bitcoin pyramid scheme structure.
Ethereum transaction - 16 seconds
Bitcoin transaction - 45 minutes for one confirmation because every bitcoin transaction is processed in china by greedy chinese businessmen who centralised mining around asic production facilities.

I have paid a Freelancer in India to program an app for me. I'm now looking into how to market it. Do you guys have any marketing and monetization insights? I'm new at this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pbi.whatsappsafe
I tried to name the app otherwise at first but Google Play said I infringed Whatsapp's copyright. Which was strange because they allow other Whatsapp 'mods' too.

I'd put a little bit more effort into the storefront. Idk if you're paying for reviews but, the grammar is pretty bad on the one I saw. I can't speak for the product quality itself, but that page should be full of content and features before you begin any sort of marketing campaign. Overdo that page bro. Then push...do market tests and rely heavily....HEAVILY on the subsequent data. Best of luck.

what the fuck is a meme major
the majors at the top of that list?
yes GPA fucking matters
my colleagues were fucking astounded when they found out where I got a job
yeah it's because i worked hard and got good grades (and interned a lot)
>>
Pretty important I think.
Internships are by far the most important thing and considering most of them, if not at least the best ones only look for good GPAs as a bare minimum with needs of exceeding it to be competitive it's pretty important.
>>
>>1107704
C's get degrees. If you've done your work right, >>1108342 has hit the nail on the head. If you have a 2.9 and a year long paid internship in your field, it's better than some Joe with a 4.0 and his thumb up his ass. Preferably, you'll have both, but if not, the experience with an ok GPA will go farther than a know-nothing with a high GPA.

Recently was fired from a former fortune 500 company going down the shitter quick. Nothing illegal, I was pretty much on my way out and was job hunting before this happened. Basically I made 1 mistake (nothing illegal, just against procedure) to help a customer out which snowballed because everything is being looked at under a microscope. Company recently laid off 200+ people and dissolved entire business segments.
I have a 50% chance of getting another job soon, but obviously not putting all my eggs in one basket so I've been tunneling out applications.
I have enough dosh to survive in the interim, can cut some expenses and already applied for unemployment. Might take a temp job in retail if the other job doesn't work out while I find something more secure.
Question is, how should I address me being fired during apps/interviews? Should I lie and say I'm still with my current employee since it only happened recently or should I fess up about it and be truthful? I've only had 2 jobs so far, and this was my 2nd (was with them about 5 years).

just tell them you left and that you didn't feel the job was right for you, if they do a detailed background check your fucked though.
>>
>>1107381
Or tell them your former employer is going under and flailing randomly.
>>
>>1107387
I've heard it's not a good idea to bash former employer (even though that's literally what's happening)
>>1107381
Yea but saying I left already looks pretty sketchy imo.
Right now I've just been saying I'm looking for new opportunities and I'm still with them. Either that or I was affected by the cutbacks.

OK, /boz/, I've been working a couple years now and would like to become more responsible with my money. Every year I've put about 5k into a Roth IRA account with the broker/financial advisor that my parents use. If I'm only purchasing Vanguard index funds, is this a bad idea? Is there a way in which I can do this with lower trading and management fees since I'm just buying index funds?
I want to take a hands-off approach to investing and minimize the expenses that would eat into my fund growth.

bumpy for interest, 'cause I want to pick an etf but dunno which one.Try vanguard.

>is this a bad idea?
Yes. You're literally paying an advisor for nothing. Kudos on being smart enough to go with index funds, but you're giving up probably 1.0-1.5% annually in fees to an advisor who provides absolutely zero value.
Open an account at Vanguard and transfer the IRA there. Tomorrow.
>>
>>1108560
Thanks. So I can just open an IRA account with Vanguard?
Sorry, yes, I am this stupid.

Hey /biz!
I am software developer and analyst for 8 years. I decided to create a software that will act as programming assistant and publish it as open-source under GPL license. Since going to a global market is a great challenge, I am trying to decide how to make money of it. I'm trying to decide between donations or selling support. I am kinda against big corporate investment because I am afraid they could ruin my work. Do you have any kind of experience with this? If you do, feel free to share. Thank you in advance!

I'm trying to imagine what's meant by "programming assistant." I worked with alot of developers who were totally helpless without a few dozen special tools.

Hey /biz/. Making money is important, but watching how you spend your money effects your net worth just as much.
>Buy bulk food and learn to cook using staples
>Turn lights off in rooms you aren't using
>Drive fuel efficient cars
>Buy things that appreciate or stave inflation in value over time that you can still enjoy (Precious metals, collector items, guns)
The savings add up quick. These are pretty obvious but I want to hear some tips that are less known. Whatcha got?

Buy/sell GBP/EUR
Problem is, jt could go either way. For real this time. And if it goes your way that's great. But if it doesn't (and I assume you put in a lot of cash so you actually make something) it cost disappear before your eyes before you have the time to react.
Very risky
Also speculation
>>
>>1108734
Yeah, it's a gamble. You think the UK is on the way out, then short GBP, if you think it's staying in then long GBP. Don't make the wrong call.

1. Find a keyword you can rank highly for on Google that isn't over-saturated and not dominated by big websites
2. Make shitty Wordpress website for it and pay some dudes on fiverr to spam it to get your PageRank up
3. Make money with ads
4. ???
5. Profit and repeat for 5-10 websites until you're making decent money
Really not hard at all.
