Stick it in bank in a saving account and watch it grow. Open an investment account and wait for a happening with obvious profits. Treat yourself when you want and how you want, save for a rental property or farm. I did much the same when studying at uni. Ended up saving $40,000 just by working harder than the next guy. (not hard to do, and less boring).

I would put some aside for holidays, donate a bit to charity and use the rest for investments and playing the stock market and forex.

He knows that as long as you work under him, he will look good in front of his bosses and/or you get more stuff done than is expected of an employee in your position. Basically he sees your potential and wants you around. If he's a good guy, one day he will be just as happy to see you rise to his level or even surpass him.

A saving account is already opened. Almost 2/3 of it is being placed in that account and the rest goes in my checking account until I need it. By save up for a rental property do you mean buy real estate and rent it?

I think you are doing the right thing by not going to uni if you have these kind of opportunities. You will be getting a real business education imo and you will be making money oppose to us unifags.

As what you should do with the money. Once you reach the minimum required amount to joina fund (check out vanguard, I've worked at finance places where they basically tell their clients to chuck it in vanguard lol or they have their own where it's just the household name companies, thus, you won't be missing out on anything) and just add to it every 5k you want to deposit. Set yourself a goal say every year you want to add 15% of your taxed income in to this fund and it becomes an annuity and bam by the time you are 50 you will have a million dollars.

I would have went to uni for an arts degree and I'm stupid so I assume I would fail. He claims that this will help my art career a lot more once I start branching off into other things. If I hit a dead end I want to try and get hired by a video game company(Ubisoft and a few others are hiring in my area) and get paid over $55k a year once I learn the right skills and create a good portfolio.

kek, you wish.

>restaurant

Why would he need an assistant? Wtf are you even doing at this restaurant

>>1430946
> "The assistant chef works closely with the head chef when preparing the menu. The assistant must be experienced in the workings of the kitchen and staff members. The assistant chef creates dishes that complement the chef's entrees. The average salary for an assistant chef is around $30,000 annually."

To make him look good. I make food for rich folk and hipsters.

A better long-term investment would be in a high paying trade.

>>1430955
OP explained he reckons he is even to stupid for an arts degree. I don't think he could handle a trade, best to be an assistance chef or wahtever he is.

He probably wants to fuck you

Continue for the moment, you have no reason to change
Only when you feel you are underestimated, quit and open your own restaurant
