My uncle hired me when I graduated

[Anonymous No.16089930]

Worked my ass off in school and took out loans to get chemical engineering degree. Only make like 65k which is pretty low compared to national average for my degree. I at least live in one of the poorest states so cost of living isn’t too bad. Coming on here makes me feel even worse regardless of whether the LARPs are real or not.
It’s my first job out of school and Im hoping to get 8k a year in bonuses since I work overtime a lot as salary.

If you're good at excel you should get into private equity, syndication, rollups, real estate development, etc..

If you can work the numbers with a lot of moving parts you can be highly compensated. The hardest part is raising the money, but you can do small time deals on the side while working full time because of access to credit through various means.

For example, I gutted an old restaurant recently and leased it to a KFC. If I sell the property to an investor now with the strong tenant I have, I could prob make $280K after selling fees, pure profit.

My biggest problem is that I need to find something to do with the money or I'm paying a massive tax bill.

i happened to observe a scenario where my company had 100's of project estimates, all sitting in these separate excel workbooks on some share drive. anyways the ask came from mgmt to understand some broad questions about how much things typically cost, and the mgmt didn't really know where to begin (yes, their fault). anyway i took some initiative and wrote some VBA to scrape data from all of them, turn the results into a tabular structure suitable for analysis, and then delivered the results.

anyways i was just spitballing ideas/things to learn that helped me get noticed.

Well. When I started I was young and naive and believed society that is is a good job with status that is well payed.

The fun stuff is that I get deducted over 40% of my earnings in taxes. Add to this several hundred Euros for insurance. 400 a year to a kind of state Mafia for recertification (every year or you are not allowed to practice)

And people I talk to remind me all the time how extremely well played I am and that I should do more for society and that my rich ass should be taxed way more.

These same people usually carry no responsibility and work not even half the hours I do.

but if I did that I would be surrounded by literal nigger affirmative action hires, that couldn't cut it at a real facility and do not actually know how to perform ATC duties

so you see my dilemma

the crisis when controllers begin mass retiring (already happening) is going to be hilarious, since the FAA for the last decade has focused on diversity instead of actually growing a core of competent and capable experts, and its too late now to fill the gap

there will be nobody who can work the busy airports, and the FAA will lose its ability to administer ATC operations to private contracting companies which can offer a competitive wage to actual experts

You have to deal with regulations in whatever type of deal you are trying to put together, talk to lawyers, accountants, insurers, contractors, etc.. Not only that but you have to come up with the money somehow. That means loans or investor money in whatever deal you're trying to put together. If you're smart and willing to talk to a lot of people that work on comission, you could have your deal in place before any money comes out of your pocket.

For example, I spent a few weeks badgering city hall about a property I didn't even own. Once I got the greenlight to do the renovations I wanted to do, I had to raise financing which was a mix of a note from the seller and bank financing. I also delayed paying contractors as long as possible for the renovation.

In total only $40K cash came out of my pocket, but the building I bought for 600K is now worth 1.4M after 300K of renovations. After selling fees, and loan carry costs, I clear nearly 300K on a good offer.
