Re: College/University??

Yea a tech career will only get you like 40k-80k a year or something a long those lines. Still, that is more then enough for me. I can only hope to make half that much by the time I get out of school.

Re: College/University??

You guys get me all wrong, I'm just saying, don't let life pass you by without having fun every now and then.

Working hard and having responsibilities is great, but ****ing around is the best

Re: College/University??

nonsense about a lot of money

ok man maybe you know people that move weight or whatever but there is just no way you made anywhere close to 700 thousand dollars in a year, especially if all your selling is pot

i cant even believe im responding to you man, youre ridiculous

Re: College/University??

Like I said, implying a 700k/year profit is retarded if he's talking about pure arbitrage, here. The only way to make that kind of money is to grow your own, and you'd need some pretty massive storage facilities to maintain that sort of thing. I don't see bender being able to utilize those kind of assets after only a year, especially if all he started out with was 80 bucks. I'm guessing he's trying to argue that he knew dealers and basically found people to sell to, and networked to match supply to demand, taking a cut from the middle. Of course, making 700k/yr this way is retardedly unlikely. Most major profits come from small profits over time -- not huge purchases all at once. Trying to take an average of $1900/day as a middleman-salesman? lmfao.

Again, though, I think it's all pretty pale in comparison to actually acquiring legitimate earnings. "Life on the street" as a "more fun/real replacement for a responsible reality" is just complete nonsense and is an appeal to confirmation bias. Let the statistical expectations/averages speak for themselves. Like I said, there's a reason the premiums are as high as they are. If you're not making money from skill, you're making it off luck. And luck has a nasty habit of being an impermanent thing.

Re: College/University??

Yup, Rubix, you got me. I didn't make any money based on skill at all. You're right. I didn't put hundreds of hours of hard study into my trade, nor did I spend countless all nighters to go out of my way to satisfy the consumer.

Nor did I make EVERYONE happy, and still leave a demand that CANNOT be met because I no longer have a supply. Or maybe I didn't become insanely successful because I set out to return legitimacy to a long broken game, hmmmm, I can't tell which of those things were luck, but I mean I guess it must have been all of them, right?

You make me sick, you just assume that because you're smart no one else is. You have a lot to learn about life, and one day my name WILL be a household name, and you will still be Mr. Rubix, king of flash games, every 12 year old boy's wet dream, and you'll have a pretty good paycheck and a comfortable way of life, but will you actually enjoy any of it? I highly doubt it.

the ONLY reason I'm not providing exact math is because I'm not dumb enough to put on record exactly what I was moving and when.

There's a reason why people get to choose their majors in universities.. Of course they got to enjoy what they major in.

Re: College/University??

will you actually enjoy any of it? I highly doubt it.

why? is a challenging and satisfying career not worthwhile? will his 9-5 eliminate his chances of having any endeavors outside of his job? somehow I think you're off on this one.

it's cool that you're so ambitious about your whole business. I just hope you know what you're doing, because I sure as hell don't.
