Isn't it something like.....the average American will have seven jobs in their life? How many have you had?
I....
farm labor
worked for the county
cannery work
navy
insurance sales
...and will never work again. So only five.

1) You can become a real estate agent (realtor). This requires about 4-6 weeks of training class and exam taking, which is pretty easy stuff and will cost you about $1,000. Not too horrible. You interview for a position in agency at a ReMax, Ebby, Keller Williams type company, you get in, but then comes the really hard part. The first 6 months of real estate agency is where 80-90% of young realtors fail and go out of business. You're not making any money the first 3 months for the most part. They make you host open houses which means going door-to-door to different houses and standing/sitting there doing nothing for 6-8 hours at a time hoping for buyers to come in and make you their "agent". You can choose not to do this or to give up each day after a few hours, but that's how you fail easily. You have to go, heat, cold, rain, shine, wind, or snow. You're miserable all the time and slaving for peanuts. The first 6 months you'll probably need to take an overnight job at a Walmart or Denny's just to survive. Which means you're not getting any sleep, but that's the nature of this beast. Eventually, after the first half-year or so, hopefully you're making enough profit to survive, then by year two if you've made it that far you can see to reaping the rewards, but you're unlikely to have made it through the first year in the first place.
2) You can become a real estate investor/mogul, which is what I want to do. However, after the stupid Obamacare law passed, things have gotten awfully tough. You can no longer make down payments on houses and flip fixer-uppers whenever you feel like it, because after the second time banks will not write you a new loan on such an investment property. The realtors who once encouraged this aggressive gaining of capital now are not so bullish on this anymore, and are telling young investors such as myself that it is better to be more conservative and buy properties to rent out for a profit (as a long-term portfolio investment, like a stock) rather than buy cheap distressed properties, fix them up, and sell for a pretty penny. Fix and flip is how yesterday's real estate moguls made millions before their 30's, but the Shitbama administration has imposed new legislation to prevent anyone young from becoming rich apart from being lucky and being some kind of Hollywood celebrity. Now, banks are forced to audit everything -- your after-tax income, your bank statements, your work history, everything... Now, in order to do this, you need to cash-buy, which means you need to have worked a good job long enough to afford to buy such properties (and their repair costs) with straight cash, which is VERY difficult...
What do I do?
this, tbh. Their karma/dharma thing states that they shouldn't expect more than they "deserve" and what is good enough to provide a living for them and their family. It's a long shot from the capitalistic "maximize profit" culture of the white American.Quote:

Educated experienced American programmers are not cheap. But you get what you pay for.Quote:
