I'm mostly referring to real world examples. Sure, there are the ultra wealthy that have a tremendous amount of power, but they are so few and far between that it's not even really worth considering. Whether they are celebrities, high end professional athletes or major CEOs or big players in...

You aren't looking at this correctly. A man having money or being well off is definitely seen as attractive or desirable to women, it's not the be all end all but it's definitely a major factor. A lot of women will legitimately be turned off by a man who is broke, unemployed, etc. Sure, you...

I think something a lot of people are missing is that if you have a mortgage your "rent" is fixed, assuming you didn't get a variable interest rate. During the pandemic and the years following it there have been massive increases in rent prices in many cities. It wasn't unusual for someone's...

Bro, do you realize how ridiculous that statement is? There aren't thousands of people making money like that lol. That's a bunch of nonsense as a means to shill this garbage to suckers like you that sign up for their subscription services lol. I seriously question the intelligence and critical...

I had to reread the original post of this thread, I thought you were putting down thousands of your own dollars. You've basically been playing with imaginary money. How much do you seriously expect to make with something like this? You are completely delusional if you think you will be making...

Lol, ok player. Why the hell would they split profits with someone when they could just do it themselves if it's as easy as you say it is? Lol

The overwhelming majority of people are just going to wreck themselves by getting into stuff like this, I'm referring specifically to very short term trading/day trading and not stuff like swing trading for instance.

Christ, this sounds like a one way ticket to getting wrecked. I hope it works out for you but you are easily going to get way over your head at some point. You might make a big score but then also fail to recognize that you honestly got lucky, which will eventually run out. I can think of way...

I think the only time an advanced degree is more of a sure thing is with healthcare and science related fields. For instance, in healthcare this would be things like becoming a nurse practitioner or physician assistant, legitimate jobs with quite specific earnings. This also could include...

I remember a little over a decade ago having this conversation with someone who had a relative going for an MBA and how they'd be making 150k+ after graduation like it was this sure thing. People wildly overestimate how much they can potentially earn with various degrees and often end up getting...

That's not the point of what was being discussed. The point is that unless you have the natural talent/aptitude to do well in more technical STEM related fields, college is very often a waste of time. Here's a hint, the overwhelming majority of people do NOT have the natural talent to where they...

Law Enforcement right now is in a terrible place, you can thank the whole BLM and defund the police b.s as what has caused a huge number of resignations. I sure as hell wouldn't go into this career field.

You probably don't understand this, but a course in college about human evolution should be heavily focused on things like primate evolution that eventual lead to bipedalism, stone and later fire use, Homo Erectus leaving Africa and evolving into various species and later modern humans evolving...

Ok, and you are basically proving the point I've been getting at all along lol. A highly technical field earning 70k to 120k but higher in high cost of living areas lol. I don't understand where you are confused with what I'm getting at.

This response has nothing to do with my previous post. No person with just a bachelor's degree is going to be making well north of 100k within a decade of graduation. The only exceptions are those living in very high cost of living areas, like CA or NYC, and those who got into very technical...
