Eh, some nice play money I guess.

There's only one kind of money, that's gold. Everything else is credit and is worthless.

selling drugs in small portions allows me to spend a lot of money. i put away and save (read: in stocks) 20% of the money so I can afford tuition for a master's degree without taking a loan, though. I "work" about 1 day a month and make about $ 1500. Good enough for a student life. When I got enough for my tuition fees, I'll just stop.

>>6819201
I sure hope you're a troll. Gold is a shitty investment.

Living on autismbux at the moment.

>>6819307
top kek, $4k saved. Try $200k. But I have no desire to use it I get by fine.

Try a mutual fund, they'll know where to invest and most don't charge a whole lot. Plus they make you money and you don't even have to think about it.

>>6819363
mutual funds are usually a ripoff. carefully selected index funds are less of a hassle, have lower fixed costs and usually don't fare worse than mutual funds, especially not after you deduct what you paid the manager.

>>6819705

>>6819720
how did you get into selling

Apprentice in oil biz.

>>6819787
i know a guy who knows a lot of guys. I read into chemistry in high school and worked out a plan to produce Adderall. It works good enough for small amounts. I make one batch a month, sell him two ounces and let him do the rest. He's been in the game since he was a kid and never got arrested, has a solid base of customers etc.

The amounts he sells are too small to cause any actual interest by the cops, but the profit is good enough so I can afford conveniencies others don't, although I'm currently trying to spend less and less because the transition from next-to-no-money to a-whole-lotta-cash was so abrupt that I made some bad choices, bought shit I regret buying (I got a wardrobe with half a dozen jackets and trenchcoats by Dior, Burberry etc and rarely ever wear them because I like my older stuff better) and I feel like I'm not deliberate enough to handle that amount of cash sensibly.
I grew up with very little money, as you can probably tell.

>>6819179
I'm a geologist. Pretty interesting at times and pays extremely well.

I play music.
Not that I make very much money doing it, mind you.

>>6819814
Lots of ways, i went with Automation.
That includes everything from PLC programming to hydraulics.
I work onshore now, making systems that go offshore for use on oil rigs.
Hope to build up some experience, then try to get offshore, 2 weeks on and 4 weeks off!

>>6819801
what do you actually do and when did you start? afaik you need some kind of master's degree to get into the oil business seriously.
i call bullshit

>>6819876
do your friends and family know? what do they think about it? where do you store the money?

>>6819928

>>6819911
^
Startet last year in July. Right now im building Hydraulic power units for oil rigs. Used on installation of BOP's and X-Mas trees.

I dont have any formal education. Just High School/Upper secondary with a programme for electrical/automation subjects

>>6819886
as someone going to school for this what are the actual job prospects like? Is the petro field really the only booming thing currently?

>>6819955
I keep my "low life" and my regular life strictly apart. Only my two best friends know about it, and they don't care much. I get a lot of "Walter White" comments, though.

I don't want anyone to know because frankly, I don't think it's particularly cool or exciting. At first it was - it was so exciting that at some point I was constantly anxious of getting caught every time I heard a siren. Now I got a neat, running system and feel confident that it will work until I stop doing it. Even if the police busted my door right now, I have the money to pay a decent lawyer who'd make a good deal.
It's really nothing special anymore. The exciting part was planning and setting the whole thing up - shit took almost 2 years of studying and working without payment. Now it's just like a somewhat illegal side job I do to pay the bills.

I try to get the money on my bank account without it being suspicious, so I can use it for legitimate purposes later (like education). I do that by paying just about everything I spend money on by cash, so the (little) money I get from my parents for university adds up on my bank account. Every couple months (like on Christmas, my birthday, etc) I put a couple hundred or maybe a thousand bucks on my bank account and act as if I were given it by my family. The rest I just spend or put in my drawer - it's usually not more than a few thousand.

>implying gold is inherently valuable
You fucking retard, food is inherently valuable, livestock is inherently valuable, if society collapses who in their right fucking mind would trade you anything for malleable, dense metal?

>>6819589
bro, don't get caught up in that life. i was arrested and served hard time. i was pushing mad weight in creatine (monohydr8) and the feds finally busted my door down one day. not about that life any more.

I build satellites.

I make side money off of custom audio amplifiers/DACs.

>>6819994
Uhh it sorta depends on your location. I'm in tx and work with natural gas/oil drilling but geology can help you get a job in a lot of energy related fields other than petrol if you minor in something related to it.

With that said there are also the standard jobs like professor, field researcher, etc that work with the purest form of geology, but I would only do this if you have a real passion for it. I fucking hated doing field work so I went into oil and am making much more money for much less work.

I work at a distinctly middle class gas station.

Intern at JPMorgan

Working towards my Finance degree.

>>6821948

Oh! Sorry! Nearly missed this.

Yes, very very hard. You need all the advanced degrees, to be published and to start anywhere, even teaching night classes at community colleges.

For English and the writing arts, get published early. I've had things published (small reviews, journal articles and essays) which I feel helped.

My undergrad GPA was, I can admit anonymously, garbage because I drank for four years straight. It's in the low threes. But for my Master's I buckled down, got a 3.9, went on from there, logged in countless hours on my dissertation, etc.

I'm also 29

My family is very poor. My parents are divorced. My Mother has been unemployed for almost two years. My Father gets by servicing computers. I work at a sandwich place and buy everything with the earnings.

That's cool man. I'd buy one if I didn't hate headphones. Got a D1 in the mail today because I got a good deal on it.

>>6822872
Neat. The photo store I go to now charges like $17 for a regular 35mm roll, so I'm going to learn to develop my own this year too

>>6823087
Thats pretty expensive, we charge 11.99 and usually have $1 off with an in-store coupon. That's cool though, you'll save way more that way.

>>6819179

downside is you can't keep up any serious relationship, but I guess that's not /fa/ anyway

>>6824547
thats sick, how did you get into it?

Make €100 a day working for the royal mail in the weekends. Most un/fa/ job ever but the pay is alright and the work isn't bad.

I work for the government, it doesn't pay as good as it should

>>6824561
always hung out with friends that used to play in small bands, went with them to their gigs, sold shirts/cd's, helped them setting up the equipment and so on. for free of course.
got asked by a bigger band to sell their merch on a small tour. Did this for about a year, met other bands and one day the usual manager got kicked off, they asked me cause they knew me and knew that I could take care of everything. they were happy with my work an I started to build a good reputation. Now I get booked through that reputation. Side effect is, you have no contract what so ever. If there's money missing after a tour, even a minimum amount, you lose your job and any reputation. Musicians know each other so it spreads very fast.

tldr: toured with smaller bands for free, grew into it, became good at it, earned money

I've always been interested in this market, I did okay in highschool science but nowhere near enough to actually work with it. How did you learn up about that stuff? And did you just get lucky with your middle man, or do you think the chance to find some responsible guy like that is high enough?
I always liked the idea to jump in, get a little starting capital for something legit like trading and jump out again. Then again I'm scared to get sucked in.

Scarcity without demand won't yield any value. Even though the cost to produce all of those goods has dramatically decreased, their continued demand is much more certain than a precious metal. Gold was just a convenient bartering tool (for the reasons you mentioned, as well as simple aestheticism) before we had markets efficient enough to price floating currencies.
