Becoming a security guard is good for some quick cash if you have nothing else, but it's not much of a career aspiration. I mean, it's not a high paying job, the moment you quit, you might have a month or two of savings before you run out, if you're lucky.

It's much better to find higher paying jobs that you only have to do once in a while.

For example, I knew one guy from college who would go work out at a local mine as a general laborer during the summer break. It was grueling work, but in two months, he had earned $12,000, before taxes/expenses. If you could do that for say 3-4 months, and then spend the rest of the year on vacation, that would be ideal.

I work as an independent software consultant, one contract might last me three months, but I can pull in $60,000 after expenses easy. I spend a lot of my time on break playing games/VNs/etc.

With something as low paying as a security gig, you're stuck working all of the time.

You just need a few OHSA certificates (you can get them from a community college and some you can do over the Internet, might take a couple of weeks of your time and a few hundred bucks) and a drivers license usually. If you want to operate heavy machinery or huge dump trucks, etc. you need to get special drivers licenses for that stuff.

And that's it, you don't need to go to school unless you want to become an onsite civil/electrical/demolitions engineer.

The roulette is flawed, and its easy to exploit.
Bet 2 on black, if you lose, bet 4 on black, if you lost again bet 8 on black and so on. At some point you're bound to win, since the chance is 50-50. You might not win a lot by doing this, but can't really lose money unless somebody actively makes sure you're not winning anything.

I'm a programmer. Programming is fun, so overall I enjoy it even if I have to do boring things every once in a while.

As for my lifestyle, I don't go outside except for work and groceries, so I imagine I am a lot more asocial than the "typical" person.

There's no way to "get rich quick." Even robberies takes a lot of preparation and time. /jp/ is better off doing it the honest way. Go to school, major in accounting and get rich eventually.

I have schemes in my head that would bring good profits, but I don't publish them here in case I ever decide to use them.

It'd require a SHITTON of work, though, but I'd have have at least several million if all goes to plan. If everything falls apart, I can expect to be arrested and jailed for life like that Maddoff guy. Game over. :(

Right now I'm a high school senior. I'll probably be a full-time student in college, only working during the summer.

I'm going to college for Zoology. Still live with my parents, but planning to move out as soon as I can once I have my degree.
As for a job, I work in a horse barn--I take care of the animals and such, and help the owner with riding lessons when she needs it.

Other than school and work I pretty much sit on the internet.

Then why not petition moot to raise the age limit to 21 or something? But it won't happen, because he doesn't give a shit. "Underage B&" refers to a person who is too young to access this site, according to the rules that nobody reads. Being 18 is a valid defense to this. (Though of course, not a valid defense to being an idiot.)

That's not how odds work. It is 50-50 every time. If it has been red the last four rounds it's not more likely to be black the next time.

There is a house advantage (lol zero on your roulette etc), so even given infinite funds to cover losses, you'll lose money (fairly slowly).

In a more realistic scenario (i.e. finite funds), you might be able to keep this up for a while, but eventually you'll get a string of losses that will wipe you out.

>> No.4016508

>The roulette is flawed, and its easy to exploit.
Bet 2 on black, if you lose, bet 4 on black, if you lost again bet 8 on black and so on. At some point you're bound to win, since the chance is 50-50. You might not win a lot by doing this, but can't really lose money unless somebody actively makes sure you're not winning anything.

What? You've obviously never even played roulette, because you don't even realize that there are things besides black and red on the table.

The only way to reliably make money at a casino is to play Texas hold'em, where you're playing against drunk tourists instead of the casino.

>> No.4016528

>>4016473
I guess I cant argue with that, but the chance is only... 1/100 or something, right? and you're not supposed to make big bets. In any case, you should clearly see what I'm talking about, and it should in theory work. Its not fortune-hunting, its work.

No, in theory its the exact opposite. If you had infinite funds and thus would never be wiped out and could play forever, you will average a slow loss.

39 here, I'm 22. Does this make me an underage faggot? Maybe in some circles, but I'd be surprised if that were the case here. Seems about average, if anything. Now, you're free to call me an "immature faggot" if you like (though I'd have to wonder on what basis you are doing so, besides me calling you out on misusing a meme) but I don't think "underage" is terribly accurate.
