Business gurus help me out

You'll need training from the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification).

This is also the same place that certifies you for water restoration, mold restoration, fire and flood damage restoration ... shit like that. I've got the WRT cert ... classes are interesting and you learn a lot. Quite a bit of math involved for the average tradesman.

Good luck.

1: gain experience in the business working for someone else
2: look for an area with high demand and develop a business plan
3: get a loan
4: try to fill the demand through self-employment or hiring 1 or 2 people
5: experiment and improve until you have a good business model that maximizes profit
6: expand

I think it's just one of those stocks people buy because they love it. Kind of like chipotle before it gave everyone aids.

What you say has to be true. I didn't read their prospectus or quarterly reports. That's why I want that stock pusher to weigh in. Still I don't see how it could be a good investment when they aren't opening multiple stores every day.

I think it reflects confidence in Union Square Hospitality Group as a whole, rather than just the Shake Shack brand. Probably overvalued as often with IPOs, but on the long, the brand is solid, and decreasing debt may be better for revenue than opening new stores with more borrowed money.

Are you going to be working before you go to college? If the answer is no, just fucking go to school. College is good shit.

Uh, no, you take that money and lower your student loans

1. Never invest money you need to spend
2. 15k is not a health sum, it won't even cover the menial labor you'll be paying to do.
3. Don't skip a year before college if you're not going to spend it working or travelling the world full time. Your social life will be utterly shit upon.

what do you think this means in regards to bitcoin? it'll shoot up?

>>1042593
any reason as to why it suddenly dropped from $450 to $426?

Not trying to be toxic, just generally curious if somebody dumped a load of BTC

Well.. once Bitcoin is integrated within Paypal, Bitcoin is basically everywhere, and you know what the next step is.
Do the fucking math.

You want to learn seo or how to manage a website?

I want to keep my uncles page AT LEAST on the first page of google. He is basically going to buy a new domain name and hand me all the user/password info to manage it, keep it up in rankings.

In other words, he would employ me

Marketing exec here who deals a lot with google analytics. What type of business is he in and how large is the business?

I suggest serpbook.com for tracking your keywords if you have a bunch.

probably bottomed in the short term today, could rally for a while but don't get over zealous, you probably sell 50 or 60. the calls for 20 were most likely too early but probably not wrong

the oil companies are trying to fuck over american fracking by undercutting them until they go bankrupt and hoping fracking dies before they do
you can still survive this but either way someone is going down

>>1039367
>the oil companies
america and europe are the only ones with actual oil companies, and they're the ones eating shit you cunt nugget.

if you're talking about the harold hamm fueled myth that saudi arabia is trying to lower the price of oil to squeeze out competition, don't believe a word. he has vested interest in oil going up and blaming the muslims is a clever way to get americans on board. saudi wants higher oil prices way more than we do, they're government literally depends on it. sure, american production has increased and there is a supply glut, but that wasn't a problem when speculators and china were blindly paying $100/bbl. demand for oil is inelastic so it can be confusing to analyze, but the truth is when the price goes down we saw governments needing to produce more oil, thus the quantity supplied actually INCREASED as price fell over the short run. in came the death spiral.

get a couple of dildos and start practicing your dick sucking technique until you wear each one down to a nub.

by the time you finish you'll have an invaluable skill that will make you money even in the worst of times.

already mastered that, now I need to invest the windfall

Because all anyone talks about is stocks and Keynesian vs Chicago when in reality 95% of this board is neet on autism bucks

ban all "how 2 start trading" threads.

just dump it into an index etf right the fuck now while there's still a dip. don't look at or touch until 6 months before you graduate and then keep an eye for a good opportunity to cash out.

>>1043994
I did this last year and I'm in the red

what do?

>>1044079
Keep waiting then?

It's obviously a really importune time to cash out now. But you had between October and December to leave with a profit (assuming you bought SPY or another for index instead of a worthless meme or FOREX).

This is why I said look 6 months in advance for an exit opportunity. If you wait until the second you need money you're going to get a fat turd back. Only invest money you don't need.

Im about to graduate, how did you sink youre first job in the tech industry. Did you have coding skills already before moving into sales?

I want to work for a scale up tech firm and work as project manager later on. I had an internship at Thomson Reuters working in the strategy teams. It was great and i learnt a lot about product/project management and strategy. But I didn't know how to code or anything.

I wouldnt mind a sales role, because even if i'm a slight introvert on the spectrum, i think its a pretty crucial step to being able to work in strategy effectively.

> tech bubble will bust
this is retarded.
tech isn't an isolated field.
there will always be a need in every modern industry for it. the field may be saturated soon with people straight out of college, but that doesn't matter if you already have experience.

>>1043858
>how did you sink youre first job in the tech industry

Applied and got lucky. Helped that I knew someone working there, but I also had a lot of interview practice under my belt. Took fucking forever to find work though.

No, no coding skill beforehand- I'm good with languages, so I thought sales would be a natural choice, but I hated it. Kind of took an interest in coding during that time, so moved into the analyst role. Not too much coding involved, but enough to make it interesting.

>I wouldnt mind a sales role, because even if i'm a slight introvert on the spectrum, i think its a pretty crucial step to being able to work in strategy effectively.

I'd question that- sales is a pretty specific relationship-based thing imo. It'll help you learn the company and the industry, but in my experience, some people just like selling and others dont- I was the latter.

>there will always be a need in every modern industry for it. the field may be saturated soon with people straight out of college, but that doesn't matter if you already have experience.

To be clear, I was referring to the tech startup bubble, rather than tech in general.

It's more a case that the Silicon Valley gold rush is showing signs of coming to an end. It might not, mind you, but it's something that the back of my mind. Same shit happened to my cousins during the dotcom boom- came out of college with IT degrees to find there were suddenly no jobs where once they had been thick on the ground

try fit. they know a lot more.

I'd recommend a daily multivitamin though.

I'm keeping my diet a priority I'm eating fruits, vegetables and salads as often as I can

Too broad a question to give a good answer.

Project managers in my industry (management consulting) get paid a decent amount. Expect to work as an underling for a couple of years and get PMP cert/MBA. But I think satisfaction is more than salary.

Being a project manager you have to take shit from the client while managing the shitheads who work under you. You become an expert in pushing shit around. I guess its a valuable skill; shit has to get pushed, people who push it well are rewarded. But why would you want to spend your life shoveling other people's shit?

Learn to actually do something.

>Learn to actually do something

Like what? I'm not a creative type if that's what you're getting after.

>>1043078
get an engineering degree or construction experience or some shit-manager is great until you aren't given the opportunity to do it

My sister in law sells on it.

Its easy as shit. You can sell junk, call it art, and people will pay way too much for it.

you'll be out-competed by actual chinese who'll massively undercut you.

like .1% of esty sellers actually make anything, and 2/3 of those that do see revenue, not net profits, of maybe 20k a year.

>>1043549

I find that VERY hard to believe.

She makes craft jewlery and keychains.

For example she makes a keychain with like $1 in materials and sells it for ten.

She works probably 20hours a week from home, and makes like $15k - $20k a year. Not bad for a little hobby in her garage.
