Trade school is a good alternative to college

Do the illegal immigrants undermine the trades? Or does the licensing and bonding process keep you guys relatively insulated?
[–]TomaszRS48 points49 points50 points 6 years ago (10 children) | Copy Link
Depends on the trade and sector. For the most part the hack job workers are limited to residential clients, these are mostly glorified handymen without much technical training, but can potentially save you in a pinch.
The real money for us licensed and bonded contractors are municipal, commercial and industrial contracts/jobs.
[–]sleepyhoundz42 points43 points44 points 6 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
Also depends on the area. I’m in Montana and Ive seen huge commercial contractors 100+ peoples that you could swear it was based out of Mexico. The worst people to work with because not a fucking one knows any English they ignore all safety rules and it’s bullshit that I got to tie off 100% over 6 feet but then you see these fuckers not even wearing hard hats. And to top it all off they always trash the shitters toilet paper and shit will be smear on the walls and ceiling. Border control gets called and a week later there’s maybe 10 guys left almost looks like the company got kicked off the project and the following week they are all back from Mexico. Process repeats every other month.

Ahhh the fucking Hondurans/Guatemalans you mean. I’ve worked with both sets of immigrants, Mexicans while talking trash behind your back, aren’t really dirty people besides the occasional drug fiend. The Central Americans were the ones who didn’t understand the concept of flushing the toilet paper. They instead throwing the shit on the floor. I heard that in their culture most people shit in the jungle or if in a city, their plumbing is so weak it can’t handle paper being flushed

Of course they do. They don't pay taxes and mostly takes cash only. They charge much less than US citizens. Idk about other states, but here in Texas it's pretty bad. Wage can't go up because employers can get away paying illegals to do the work with pennies and bread crumbs.

I fucked around, went to community college and a university but didnt finish.
Years later, around 35, I went to a trade school.
Almost 5 years later and I have no student Loans, bit over 26 grand in savings after putting 18 down on a townhouse (PITI and everything is just shy of 200 more a month from the apartment I rented, sweet), and I'm making more than most folks I know who got a university degree.
In less than 2 year and 30 grand total for school, books, rent, gas etc I'm making just shy of 80k salary in Dallas cost of living. Plus benefits like air miles (executive platinum with American, whatever top status with National car rental, diamond with Hilton).
I have a comfortable life working alone on the road. Nothing special, just a nice good living.
I love it

Don't buy a townhouse. Buy a duplex or a fourplex. You can use the same type of loan for up to a fourplex and then you can live in one unit and rent out the others. It might cost more upfront but the rent from the other units should cover the mortgage and allow you to live for free and possibly generate some passive income too.

That's why you hire a property management company. They will take a percentage of the rent but you don't have to deal with the day to day problems. Plus you also get to pick your neighbors. Just have the management property screen people and you tell them you want to make the final decision.

I tried as I've had that idea since I was a teen and a friend's father had just a few.
But they were far outside of my comfort monthly payments, and starting out I want to be able to cover all my costs with burger flipping jobs if I have to.
But I'll stay in my townhome a few years then rent it out as I move to duplexes. Then slowly accumulate.

That's it exactly. Traditional school is designed around the way that women learn. Its easy to sit in a classroom and do homework but to actually produce real work of value takes real effort. College is easy, that's why women want to go to college.

Definitely.
And if someone has an entrepreneurial spirit, I recommend they start a business. Something small that can scale. Work on it part-time, and it could eventually turn into a full-time venture that generates more money than most people will make in their lifetime.

[–]d80hunter7 points8 points9 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
My apprenticeship required some college classes, we needed a few credits for the associates degree we would be receiving with our Journeyman cards.
One of the female teachers at the local college ranted about terms like journeyman and tradesmen being wrong to say. This was before SJW was a term so we chalked it up to whining, which is still what it is today IMO.
They kept us away from the main students like we were second rate. Honestly I had no use for a bunch of dazed and confused teachers and kids living in a bubble. 10 years later I'm making really good money with the knowledge I will retire in my late 50's.

My instructors taught me about taxes, finance, how to run a successful business, money management, and so much more. I feel ready to take on life and whatever it throws at me, all thanks to my amazing teachers at this school. I highly recommend for any younger folk to go to a tech or vocational school.

This x1000. I went to a trade school at 16 to do a 2 year IT course instead of doing 6th form and to uni to do a 4 year Computer Science degree. It let me leave school with 2 years of hands on experience under my belt and put me in the industry 4 years ahead of the uni students. I’m in my 30s now and out earning most of my friends.
Nice. I'm a web developer making a little over $100k per year.
Strongly considering trade school for electrical knowledge. Taught myself programming, tool classes in databases and statistics-- was pretty easy.
Next though, I want an electrical skillset. But no need to do a BS in EE-- I don't want to research and create new tech. I just want to learn how to plug stuff in existing tech and make it work together, such as renewable energy systems or control systems for buildings and greenhouses. Then use my programming knowledge to create the brains of the systems.
Mostly just for personal fun projects. But hopefully It'll help me move my income closer to $500k/yr either via employment or running my own company.

Having been through university recently I can say that it's still worth going for 'real' subjects. Maths, Engineering, Sciences, etc (personally I studied chemistry). You have 35+ contact hours a week, you're focussed and busy but still have time for some fun.
On the other hand you meet people studying anthropology, English, philosophy, social studies etc that have 7h of lectures a week and the rest of the time they spend protesting in the library because we're not a communist state.
Ultimately I found there's a definite correlation between certain subjects and shitty ideas.

[–]the_cooler_spez4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I disagree. There could be some really smart dude who happens to be born in a poor family, and by himself may not be able to afford university without any assistance. If he is able to get to university and get a decent job out of it though, he would probably pay net taxes so the system is self-correcting.
The counter argument is likely some form of "that would cause inflation and is the reason prices are so high in the first place". My response to that is that there's probably more factors to the prices being high besides increasing demand. We can't just not let people get education because they're too poor to pay for it.
This isn't to say I want no effort put in though. These university programs are very competitive so to get in you should at least get 90s. My point is, intelligence and not economics should determine if you can go to university.
[–]Kinetic_Wolf1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I disagree. There could be some really smart dude who happens to be born in a poor family, and by himself may not be able to afford university without any assistance.
Sure he can. Easily. Provided the government wasn't funding student loans, which they are, causing the cost of education to rise dozens of times more than inflation.
If he is able to get to university and get a decent job out of it though, he would probably pay net taxes so the system is self-correcting.
Nope. There's no guarantee, even with intelligence, it's just a good bed if you do have a high raw IQ. The only winners in this public/private fusion are the banks and the government and the universities and teachers.
So, everyone wins, besides the students (who mostly shouldn't be in college anyways).
The counter argument is likely some form of "that would cause inflation and is the reason prices are so high in the first place".
Correct.
My response to that is that there's probably more factors to the prices being high besides increasing demand.
There isn't, or rather, all other reasons are indirect additions to the cost from the direct root cause which is an enormous amount of money pushed into the system by government decree.
We can't just not let people get education because they're too poor to pay for it.
Before the government got involved, anyone could go to college by working a summer job, no assistance from anyone else. Even dirt poor folk could, but most didn't because they weren't smart enough to, and given it would be a lot of work with no real payoff, they decided against it.
intelligence and not economics should determine if you can go to university.
That's how it worked. Only intelligent people had the motivation to go to college before the government got involved.

[–]matthewsmccartney12 points13 points14 points 6 years ago* (3 children) | Copy Link
You can’t honestly believe this. You think it’s ideal to only train STEM students? The humanities have, and deserve, a lesser role in the context of higher education, but they are arguably equally if not more critical to the betterment of society.
Take it from me, I’m in a double major of Economics and Political Science. We need the practical applications of STEM, but without humanities teaching the history of the world/varying ideologies/governance, we would have a more limited understanding and ability to criticize leadership and bring about change.
Unfortunately, most people don’t receive this message and instead double-down on their Preconceptions of the world, almost always based on their identity, furthering the clown world driven by identity politics that we live in today.
Btw, I’ve paid my tuition and living fees in full for four years, and I’m in second year.
Edit: guys. MGTOW would fit into the humanities that you’re trashing so hard...
[–]herpiornah6 points7 points8 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Okay let me set you straight real quick. We understand humanities are part of society and bring about change and yada yada. Listen:
People don’t NEED a degree to do that. There are people who have degrees who have done that. There’s no NEEEEEEEED to have a degree.
Good examples of people who’ve changed the world both good and bad: Tupac Shakur (training no bach) Mother Teresa (training no bach) Mohandas Ghandi (law degree, no humanities) Abe Lincoln (law) Steve Jobs (STEM) Nelson Mandela (didnt finish) Bill Gates (STEM)
The degree itself holds NO PRACTICAL value to society.
[–]matthewsmccartney2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
In my program, most people are taking it to get into law school, which requires, in Canada, at least two year in an undergraduate program. That’s what I’m doing.
I agree that the degree holds no practical value to society and have not argued that it does. The degree aims to incite critical thinking based on study of ideology, institutional function, history and more, all of which are essentially theoretical in nature, and are theoretically integrated into our culture as prevailing modern philosophy. For its intended purpose to be effective and sound, you need educated people. If you had global political discussion and modern philosophy left to people to informally educate themselves wherever they find, we’d have a vast majority of idiots learning from bullshit online and driving these critical elements of our society. I don’t doubt there would be few people who truly succeed, but education aims to provide reliable, informed people for the betterment of society. Why are you against this?
Hope I set you straight.
[–]herpiornah0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Again, your argument is invalid with the simple case that people don’t need a degree to understand or study human nature and history.
A degree just approves of the form of indoctrination you received such knowledge from. Lectures from top universities on the humanities can be found fully online for free. What opportunity cost does it bring to pay $125,000, in the US, when those things can be learned for free?
I’ve gone to university, knocked on the door of a philosophy professor and had a chat with him regarding the differences between rhetoric and philosophy for hours. Did the same with a rhetoric professor.
The crazy thing is that the philosophy professor told me I was his first student in 7 years who came by his office for an constructive discussion, unrelated to assignments. It’s a top 100 university for goodness sakes!
Jumping into law after pol sci is the correct choice.

[–]Jarin018 points9 points10 points 6 years ago (13 children) | Copy Link
I don't think you need a degree to get certified as a CPA. I could be wrong but I think it is just a certification you can study for and get without needing a degree. Same thing with the IT industry. I started out on a help desk and eventually worked my way up to getting my CISSP certification and now make over 100k a year with no college degree.
[–]LeeeeeroyPhishkins4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Wow, really? I was also thinking of getting into IT as well. I heard that in order to get into IT, you got to know people. Is that true? Is it cool if I PM you with other questions?
[–]Jarin0111 points12 points13 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Well it helps to know people but it isn't necessary. Best place to start is to get your security + and A + certifications then try to get hired on at a help desk somewhere. If you can afford it I would go to a certification boot camp for one or both. Boot camps are also a really good way to meet people in your area that are already in IT.
Also get your Linkin profile setup and get your resume up on a few job boards like Indeed. I haven't been looking for a job for almost 5 years now and still get offers every few days. In most areas there are a lot more IT jobs then there are people to fill them. When you look at the requirements page on a job posting just remember it's just like a woman's dating profile. They might say they want a chad with a 8 inch dick who makes six figures but they will actually take a regular guy who works at burger king. Job postings are a wish list but they don't really expect someone to be able to fulfill all the requirements. If you can do one or two things on the list apply for it.
Once you get on at a help desk you will learn more about networking and IT then anywhere else. From there just decide what you want to do next and get your certs in it and constantly be on the hunt for the next better job.
Feel free to PM me.

How long from start to finish did this journey through it take you if you don't mind me asking?
[–]Jarin010 points1 point2 points 6 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
To even take the CISSP exam you have to have worked in the IT industry for at least 5 years but that is only because it is the top security certification. If security + is an associates degree then the CISSP is a masters. Most certs though you just have to be able to pass the test. I joined the Navy as an IT right out of high school so that was an easy way for me to get work experience.
I would say mostly what holds people back in the IT industry is either not knowing what you want to do or general apathy. People get a job and get comfortable and stop trying to advance. Probably the only area of IT really difficult to get into is Information Assurance. But if you get on at a help desk, really learn your job, and bust your ass and pick up a few certifications you can get into a mid level network admin type job pretty easy. Depending on where you live something like that will pay around 60-80k a year. The thing is though to advance you pretty much have to job hop. Get on somewhere, beef up your resume a little, and then find something that pays a little more. Rarely does anyone ever expect you to walk in on your first day and know how to do every facet of your job, most places just want you to know enough that you can learn.
I would say that if you really worked at it you could be making 60-80k in 5 years or less, 100-120k in 10. But you have to actively work at advancing. Don't expect your current employer to throw raises and promotions at you.
[–]rogerthat19893 points4 points5 points 6 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Sorry if someone already responded, but I’m an accountant and I’m currently studying for the CPA exam.
I live in Texas and the requirements here to be eligible to even attempt the CPA exam are: -Minimum bachelors degree -150 credit hours total -30 accounting credits -24 business credits -Classes with a research credit (I think it was 2 or 3 classes) -And an accounting ethics class
It was a lot of bullshit to go through just to be allowed to take the test.
And the CPA exam itself is hard as fuck. 4 exams each 4 hours long. They have multiple choice and task based simulations problems.
I’ve taken one exam and didn’t pass it, but I’m going to try again.
I read that more people pass the bar exam than the CPA exam. The pass rate in my state for the CPA exam I think is around 50%.
Tl/dr you basically have to have a masters to be eligible to take the CPA exam.
[–]Jarin012 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
That sucks considering that according to Google the average salary for a CPA is only like 60k. You can make that as a tradesman with a few years experience easy and that's without 8 years of school and 150k in student loans.
[–]rogerthat19890 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes it does, but there’s places were you can get paid a lot more.
For example, I worked at a accounting firm that provided tax planning/preparation and financial advice for wealthy individuals and small to mid-size businesses.
I became friends with some of the CPAs there and over drinks I asked if becoming a CPA was worth it. All of them at the table said that after 5 years of getting their credentials, they were making 6 figures.
One said her friend became a partner at the firm and is now making about 250k a year.
This company could just be an exception, I’m not sure. But that’s what I’m shooting for.
I might eventually try to start my own business in 5-10 years once I learn all the ins-and-outs.
This firms target clientele were wealthy individuals. People with a lot of wealth usually have incredibly complex tax returns. There were returns that took me 4-5 days to complete and the company charged the clients thousands of dollars (I only got a some chunk of that fee). All the clients were millionaires though, so five grand to them was pocket change.
I could see how a CPA working at H&R Block or somewhere similar would only be making 60k. The returns are much simpler and the clientele aren’t nearly as wealthy.
Oh and I don’t have any loans.
I was in the military for 4 years and then used the G.I. Bill to pay for university when I got out.
But yes, for the normal person it’s a bad return on investment, especially if they took out a lot of loans.
It also took me 5 years to complete all the classes, not 8. I did summer classes and took 5 classes some semesters instead of the regular 4 though.
But I get what you’re saying, a bachelors and a masters is 7-8 years.
Many universities are starting to provide 5 year masters in accounting programs but they are very rigorous and competitive.
Maybe trade school would have been a better choice but I didn’t know anything about college or trade schools at the time.
I’ve got the degree and work experience now so I’m just going to continue down this path.
I would recommend to younger guys to look into other options though. Trades would probably be better for guys just getting out of high school. Like you said, less debt for more money

Graduated with an English degree back when the "recession" was promised to be getting better, with the intent of going Law (but never did.) What a fool I was to believe all of the adults in my life who told me all I needed was a bachelor's to get a decent job. With that said those subjects are still fascinating and higher education, regardless of subject matter, should be appreciated. As long as it's done in the pursuit of knowledge and truth****. Fuck anyone who talks shit on Philosophy, Anthropology, History, etc. What you're doing when you do that is implying that all college is is a white collar vocational school, which is what Universities never meant to be, and it's a travesty that education has been whored out the way it has for the ruling elite. With that said, you're unfortunately right. I saw the beginning of the bullshit right before I graduated and knew we were fucked. Better be stockpiling food and ammo gents. Shits gonna be getting real here in the next couple decades.

Graduated with an Art degree. Same boat here. I actually got to work in the field, but the pay was pure shit. Now, in my 40s, I've paid off my loans and abandoned art and design in favor of much simpler work. And as I abide by a MGTOW lifestyle, I actually have more money saved than I did when I was "careering" for a salary. Live in the middle of nowhere, beautiful scenery and my bills are next to nothing.
On the topic of arts and humanities, no, they shouldn't be eradicated. Even stoic cultures like Sparta and Nazi Germany had an aesthetic; arts are not optional, but only a few should be encouraged to do it, and it mostly boils down to class and wealth. Children of working-class or even the middle classes should be discouraged from engaging in the field. Sure, every ghetto has that one kid who can play Rachmaninov on the piccolo at age three, but most people boast an IQ of 98-102 and are average. With the internet the lower classes (so far) can study the humanities on their own without all the queer-loving bullshit the universities inject into their curricula.

Fuckin-ay. All i can say. It sucks bc we as humans evolved to be creative and artistic. Those people who painted cave walls were touching something that every human being possesses, but is also simultaneously slowly being snuffed out by bullshit. Even arrowheads have a certain artistic quality to them. Something most males were required to know how to produce are now relegated to being collected and appreciated by a tiny fraction of the population. We are truly one of the last generations of humans, at least until we become cyborgs and robots. And I fully intend on keeping the arts alive as best as i can. Fuck anyone who talks shit on them, even if you "waste" your time studying them in college.

[–]flukey52 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I started off doing analytical support testing for a pharmaceutical company (checking that the products meet quality standards for human consumption) but I've since moved on to designing and modelling tablets.
Currently I use CAD software to make 3d models of tablets that are ideal for manufacturing efficiency as well as patient preferences (I.e trying to make larger tablets appear and feel easier to swallow). I then use consumer preference data to select the ideal colour for the target demographics. Finally I'll 3D print the tablets for marketing purposes and packaging design.
Ultimately I think there are quite a few roles that are good for a scientific background since it's the skills that you learn (problem solving, analytical etc) that employers find useful.

Overrated comment.
You cannot, beyond all doubt, be successful in several fields without attending a university. There's no way around it.you can, however, become successful. But if you intent to go to med school, become a farmer, chemist, psychologist, mathematician, engineer, etc. it won't work out for you without uni. We get massive funding for high tech equipment and faculty with lots of connections. I'd like to see you learn how to use a GC-MS at your public library or in a trade school. Equipment is expensive and even if they teach you at a trade school, few have the equipment you need to pursue the majority of STEM careers.
If you want to become a plumber, electrician, mechanic, registered nurse, EMT, pharmacy tech, etc. trade school is great. There are high school kids on this sub, don't lead them astray

Legit humanities are awesome but just study it, if you want, on your own because you can’t have true genuine discussion in academia anymore. What we talk of here is very much under the umbrella of the humanities more so the sciences. We can use data to back up many of our claims but ultimately we make those claims from a philosophical standpoint. Classics is riddled with red pill shit and the data really is just a bonus to our conclusions and way to get normies attention.

and you can still pick good ones. I was a double major so had twice the humanities and for them I took every single class my university offered about working out ie Weight Training & Exercise 1000 etc. I took classes on sleep psychology and even one called Intimate Relationships that examined studies on relationships and sex. There was a surprising amount of info in that class that if you believe everyone in these comments, they wouldn’t have taught (women way more likely to cheat etc). And this was in a humanities class called Intimate Relationships. If you go to a DECENT school and take good classes/be a STEM major, school is absolutely worth it (not for everyone, everyone’s situation is different.) I had as many professors that openly brought up how horrible Hillary is in class during the run up to the election as I had professors that were super liberal.

I wish that were true. Graduated with stem degree and I can tell you with 100% certainty and honesty that every semester I had to take an online course which I could boil down to "dont rape. Also women are oppressed and its mens fault". And the amount of times a stem professor, during class time, stopped talking about the subject of the class to discuss "more important social matters" I couldn't count on my hands if I had 50 hands. My sociology course, which I think was a chosen elective considered as a humanity requirement, was not only blatant propaganda against Trump and normal SJW stuff. But we also had 3 straight days of him explaining tower 11 and 9/11 being fake. Teachers from all around would also regularly recommend lectures on 'social matters' and also give credit for you attending them.

Many have already entered with this perspective. I live in a liberal area, and remember the most of the USA population actually live in liberal areas. The influence from the liberal college educated teachers filter down to the children while the conservative father(most men still vote more conservatively no matter the race) spends his days away working not nearly getting enough time to influence their children. What is amazing to me is how much effort and indoctrination it actually takes to push children into the liberal mindset. It starts in Kindergarten and by the time they're in high school it's a full on push by the admin and the liberal few who push their agenda and the rest fall into line. College is just the final push off the cliff they've been leading them up to. I have two sons and this shit is just killing me, I'm spending an enormous amount of effort making sure they think for themselves because fighting against education isn't easy, when the teacher has the label of authority and knowledge base they are supposed to learn from. I can only hope that I can lead them to think for themselves and always question the status quo.

Sure you can also get "rich" in that department but it's harder and the chance is lower. Jobs in the video gaming business normally aren#t well paid and 'crunch time' is the norm.

Argued all throughout my time in school (graduated past 2 years) that it's a waste of time and money. I was on the tail end of the new wave of ridiculous material – psych classes where we'd sit there and watch youtube videos of VHS tapes from the 80's, required feminist philosophy (under different 'course titles', but at its core the same), biology courses that straight-up want to re-write who did what and when. Art history was totally focused on women in art because "oh no, we never mention them". Had a rad-fem art instructor that wanted to fail me more than once for wrong think; luckily things weren't totally in the shitter yet, ya know? Made away, robbed half-blind, but not a commie mess anymore. Saving grace was it's a Catholic University, only slightly guarded against a full degradation. Ended up in really bad place throughout it all (and for all the brainwashing stayed away from STEM.... unfortunately.) Better now that I'm out of it. Still feel shell shocked.

Are you an engineer? No. You’re in school. What credibility do you have?
The hardest course you ever take, x10, is true engineering. Do that on a daily basis. That’s without the pressures of delivering & having billions of dollars on your shoulders almost every day.
The best part of my career is keeping up to date with new technologies. Though it’s a requirement, it’s my favorite part. To engineers who think they can get a degree and sit on their ass, you’re going to be outdated in 5-10 years.
Engineering for passion is cute, enjoy it.
Engineering for business isn’t the same. Instead of covering up the truth, maybe you should let people know what they’re getting into.

In addition to shop space, you need space to store parts, space to store customer cars waiting on repairs or to be picked up, space for the office, space for customers to hang out while waiting... On top of space, you need equipment: parts cleaners, bead blasters, compressors, lifts, specialty tools, electronic diagnostic equipment, marque specific tools if you're specializing...
The days of being able to "start small and cheap" were pretty much dead with the advent of OBD II compliant cars in 1996.
2) labor cost. If you're a one-man shop, ta-da, done. But that's leaving a lot of money on the table. If you're under a car, you can't answer the phone; if you can't answer the phone, you can't get customers in the door; if you can't get customers in the door, you shortly no longer have a door... So you're looking for at least some minimal help, up front. And as the business expands, you'll need more techs (see Jon's comment on that)
3) marketing costs. People don't just see an open bay with cars parked out front and drop in to see what you do. You need to spend significant amounts of time and money to build brand awareness and get people into your shop. One of my friends spent nearly all his non-work time on-line, answering questions on three marque-specific forums, giving free advice, building a reputation as a guy who knew his stuff for THREE YEARS before opening his shop. When he did, people knew who he was, and he had no problem with customer flow. You can do that, or you can pay to have your business brought to the attention of potential customers, i.e. traditional advertising, or even on-line marketing.
4) unexpected events. At one point in the early 2000s, the name-brand parts cleaner company was assessed a hefty penalty by the EPA for improperly disposing of used solvent. Their response was to seek payment from ALL OF THE SHOPS WHO USED THEM. And the claim was iron-clad, language in the contract obligated the users to pay up. No one had that in the budget. Far fetched? Yeah, that's what those guys thought too...
5) insurance costs, including self-insurance. It's expensive to insure a business which has a historically high claim rate, but you can't really afford to operate otherwise. Downside: if you actually do make claims, your rates go through the roof because statistically speaking, you're one of the "problem cases". So many times, if something happens, like you accidentally set fire to a customer car while welding underneath it (happened to my car once), you pay out of pocket rather than letting insurance handle it. Can seriously cut into your profits.
Two cases:
One of my friends in Houston had a Porsche-only shop. He had a robust mail-order parts business, was involved in the Porsche community, advertised, sponsored events, had a massive facility with a full time parts guy, service writer and four techs other than himself. He did about $2mm a year top-line. He worked from early morning through mid-evening, and was usually in the shop on weekends, if he wasn't at a race. His net take-home was about $75k after everyone else got taken care of. "But I'm doing what I love"
Another friend in Houston had a Porsche/Mercedes/VW shop. He was a one-man show in about 1500 sq ft. Specialized in older cars, and unusual problems and was the guy other shops sent stuff to that they couldn't figure out or that was "too old". Strictly a word-of-mouth place. He kept regular shop hours, but was often idle, and used that time to rebuild engines and transmissions which he sold to other shops and his customers who raced for good profit (but had to front the money for parts and machine work himself). If he didn't like you for some reason, he wouldn't work on your car for any amount of money. If you were an attractive female, he might suggest "alternative payment strategies". His net take home was about the same.
Damn bro. You know some shit! That is some serious detail.
Yeah, I studied accounting a bit myself. A lot of folks who have no experience with accounting see a big number and get excited. Me? I think of all the fuckin costs that will eat that revenue into jack shit.
Fuck dude-- $2mm and take home less than 5% of that. Goddamn.
Yeah, since I studied both business and software engineering, I think more along the lines of scaleable business models. I am especially interested in creating self-serving products & services-- Ones which involve zero human intervention for a customer to serve their own needs. And ones which can be re-sold infinite times-- Such as when you sell a phone app or other software. That's what I am interested in producing myself.
At the same time, some of my ideas do involve humans doing work. In which case, they're managed as much as possible by software, and software integrations (accounting, online advertising, customer relationship management) so I can be as lazy as possible :)

I’m at a community college for criminal justice so it can help me get hired as a cop. I plan on joining the Marine Corp reserves and majoring in Psych at a state school which if I just grind my ass off I can be done in a year, is it a risk? Perhaps, but I live in the DMV (Dc, Maryland & Virginia) there’s a lot of police departments in my area that will start out making 60-70k a year. If you want to work in the criminal justice field or be a military officer, get a degree it will help in the long run, but if you are a raging feminist that majored in art history and has over 200k in debt (like my sister) then you are a idiot!
[–]HmoobMikah1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Wow 60-70k a year as a cop starting out? What's the cost of living there? I'm currently a junior, majoring in psychology too. The starting salary for cops in Oklahoma is 40k~. Granted it is low, but the cost of living here is pretty cheap. Also my brother's cop friend said not to major in criminal justice, its a waste of time. What happens if you don't like being a cop, or can't do it anymore? You're tied into that degree that you can't use anymore.
[–]yeeetgod1570 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I agree with that criminal justice degree! But yeah D.C starts at 65k a year, my county will give a pay raise to start if you have a bachelors and military experience. It's crazy to think I live in the 59th wealthiest county in the country, It makes me grateful to live in the area I do. But the cost of living isn't cheap either

College education has been taken over and turned into a money making vehicle.
Kids are also told from an early age to go to college no matter what. So now kids who have no business stepping foot in college are getting huge loans to do so.
Now the quality of schooling has gone down significantly.
However the above image was probably the beginning of a slideshow that was meant to get a rise out of people so they will tune into the fact that certain products are more expensive for woman than for men.
The reason for that is not because of some conspiracy to put woman down, but because woman will pay more for goods.

I wish someone would compile a “return on investment” chart for higher education studies showing cost to complete education vs. say an annual salary averaged over first ten years of expected employment.
You would think data like that would be super useful for making your education path decision.
[–]SocialCupcake5 points6 points7 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
First 10 years? It'd be a loss for doctors, lawyers, engineers for sure.
I did the military after college, the first 5 years of employment paid off college debt slowly.
One has to choose leveraging youth, health and ability to study vs time, age, income and opportunity.
Sometimes it's better to get a degree and debt when you can physically do it. Vs later in life when you can afford to buy physically can't.
Either way, the first 10 is nice but the next 10-20 is the most valuable.
[–]Supersonic_staples1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Sure, I’ll buy that. The overall point I was trying to get at is it would be nice to have easily accessible stats available so a future student can compare cost of education to future payoff. The reason for sticking to a closer time frame is the longer removed from school the more an individual can diverge from a typical career path, which could lead to some insane ranges depending on the career
[–]Holdoooo2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
There are countries where education is free. Actually they paid me some small amount to support my college accommodation while I was studying Computer Science. I didn't have any debt out of college but the funny thing is I lost a lot of my initial earnings on shitcoins.

I'm finishing up my second year and I have all my non major related courses. My classes ran by immigrant professors in any subject didn't have any Marxist bias. But the white liberals who were born and raised in the USA did, including my chemistry professor. She only asked that people respect pronouns but didn't get into it passed that. She stuck to the subject of chemistry.

This makes me sad because there is tremendous benefits to higher education -- real higher education, not the gender studies/SJW bullshit. I went to college. It was worth learning subjects regardless of whether I used them later in my career. Astronomy, biology, chemistry, history, literature -- all that stuff was worth knowing about. One day I'll make a more in-depth post about higher education, but for now I'll say this. I don't want this to be stolen from young men. I'm sick and tired of the feminist terrorists hijacking education. Boys' education should be considered every bit as important as girls'.
Another thing: I get that it's not for everyone, and that trade schools are a viable alternative. I would add that it's not either/or. It's possible to do some form of college education where you learn various subjects like I've mentioned and then go on to trade education. Some people get the more affordable associates degree, then to a trade school. Some even get a bachelors and then do a trade school. My main point is that no part of education should belong to feminist terrorists or be controlled by them. We need to take education back. Let every young man decide what kind of education he wants to do, whether it be college, trade school, or a combination of both.

YES...I dropped out after just a first few months of college because it was disgusting to me...back then (like 4 years ago) I was a sort of a liberal/sjw in most of my beliefs, coming out of early school years being bullied and such...but my god when I got to Uni, even way before my red pill/conservative mindset was formed I knew the shit I was hearing was beyond insane and that I wouldn't be able to tolerate (at least) 4 years in that setting at all...
One of the very first red flags (and I was studying political science) was the number of women who were there openly proclaiming they are going to "topple the patriarchy" and "do a better job than men" and I had these pussy-whipped professors who basically applauded this insane attitude...
Universities have become places where people with a certain far-left agenda are promoting extremist ideas to young adults masking them as noble.
It's like "You wanna bring down capitalism as a woman? You're aware that if it weren't for capitalism you'd never have the so called freedoms you claim to have obtained through femenism, which are actually a result of the free market economy...in other words if it wasn't for capitalism women would never enter the workforce" and then you're met with the age old women shaming tactic of "no, no, no, you're wrong!" with no explination and white-knights are all over you by the first "no"...
