I couldn't pass your comment without saying my opinion. Recently, I read a book about Steve Jobs. The book said that before Apple, Steve had "no money", and that was his main motive to start a company. What I am trying to say is, Steve had a place to live, and money so he can eat and drink, and money for transport and all those basic expenses. Here in my country, no money means really having no money. Recently I passed thru terrible times, without having money to even buy myself some food. It has gotten to the extend that I had to borrow shoes from friends for job interviews , and I had to walk from one edge of the city to another by foot just to get to those interviews. What I am trying to say, "no money" has different meaning to everyone. Even if Merckle could afford life thousand times better than mine or yours, it probably was very hard for him to face that failure of his. Btw, I will be having a job interview in one of construction companies this week, and one interview at US embassy. Hope this will work out for me :)
<br> I tried several web startups here, and it didn't work out well, since internet is highly regulated here, and most people think that internet=IM. My parents haven't even seen a homepage of google. My mom thinks that internet is some company that magically gives you information about anything. For now, starting a web startup is mission impossible here. You can check out www.verihasap.com, or www.tolkunfm.com to see what kind of startups I'am talking about.

- nazar 15y agoHi, thank you for advice! The problem with android apps and any other kind of online business is that we don't have proper banking system here. So it's very hard to receive money. We tried to establish a local system similar to paypall here, but couldn't convince the govt in legitimacy of the service. Business people here are considered those, who go to nearby countries, buy some stuff, come back and sell it for a greater price, benefiting from the difference. Anything more complex than that is considered dangerous/meaningless. Words like stock and investment are associated with fraud and lottery. So working for one international company here might be the right choice for now.
