You have a degree, and a difficult one at that. If an employer can't see that you have the skills regardless to your "proper" degree, you likely don't want to work there. Talk to recruiters as well, they can sometimes sk

I've worked in and out of the Bay Area. The Bay Area had by far the most diversity of anywhere I've been around this country as an employee and consultant. So they may not be perfectly diverse, it's a hell of a lot better tha

I always wanted an Aeron. Finally got one and it's terrible. The bottom "breathable" fabric has to be so tight it's like sitting on a noncushioned chair. It might keep your ass cooler but at the expense of comfort. I fou

Build more reservoirs to handle the flooding stages and to slowly feed the downstream (or upstream via piping). It's what they did here in Oklahoma and it's worked extraordinarily well in my opinion over the last 60 or so years wh

Build a side project demonstrating use of all the skills you have obtained. That's the easiest way. I've worked with about 5-6 people with Chemistry degress (Undergrad, Master's, & PhD) that ended up in software developme

I've had tornadoes destroy my brother's house twice and my father's once. My grandmother's house was also damaged. Prepping for me is more fun than anything. Although, I'm far less prepared here in Tornado Alley tha

I don't know a single person that doesn't have plenty of food/water stores and power generation among most other necessities for natural disasters. Having lived in SF myself, I had all these things. In the event of a 7+ earth

Social Security also averages over 35 years of work as well. It's a decent backup for extra income after 67-70 if you live that long, but it can also be a benefit for your spouse.

Put your assets in a trust, if you go bankrupt personally, it's irrelevant. Once my companies valuations + my net assets hit my magic number, I'll use my estate tax exemption and move 100% of it into a trust. I will agree though,

Exactly, where'd that 5 billion in loans go? Poof!

Depends on the area. Wealthy in SF/LA/NYC is very different than wealthy in KC/OKC/DFW. Mostly it's how far your dollar goes (can you live off your investments alone).

Most all of them bought houses leveraged and with inflation and 10-20% down, being paid off by renters, they have millions in property. My neighbor lives in Europe most the year, just comes back a few times to check on houses. Has 2 homes i

I bought my first house in 1999. It costs less for the remaining mortgage than renting a 1br apartment in my city and has for about a decade. The interest is so low now I don't even get the write off and just use the standard deduction

Everyone I know that's wealthy owns lots of real estate. That's the difference between stocks and properties, at least property is real . Why do drug dealers, foreign nationals, and the ultra wealthy park their money in big cit

I'm 44. Ideas are a dime a dozen (if you can come up with them). The hardest part is the implementation and having necessary capital. Comparing today to the mid 90s when I was doing my first college startup, capital is relatively easy

I started my first "company" at 12. I've done 8 "real" startups since college. It's probably because I come from a family of entrepreneurs. Capital is the key, experience is secondary. It costs more to learn on

Lmfao, nothing cost about the same living in San Francisco. Not to mention taxes are significantly higher as you earn more (progressive) and there are tons of things that nickel and dime you every day. For example, a bottle of 200 ibuprofen

TSA makes me drive exponentially more than I would otherwise. Dealing with the airport is terrible now. I flew probably 80+ times a year as a consultant in the 90s. My wife would drop me off 30 minutes before my flight (DFW), I'd curb

I wouldn't have ever guessed I'd love the 3:2 of my Surface but I agree with this article. I'd still probably choose 16:10 because it's close enough, but 16:9 bugs me to no end (LENOVO) when there's a huge bezel abo

Hahahaha This is how the fucking government gets around the Bill of Rights, primarily the 4th. When it's outsourced, you have no rights. Parallel construction needs to be the next addition to the 4th or it's own amendment.

Capital helps. Being in the right place at the right time helps (along with connections). Being brilliant, having a vision, and working hard for decades helps significantly more than all of the above.

I filed early, this is the first time I've ever done it electronically. It took my forms and send me a success update within 15 minutes (did about a week ago since I owed a small Kia). The even nicer part was scheduling my payment to a

This is the state average. Typically the western part of the state (west of the 100th Meridian) is dry as a bone and in constant drought, while the eastern side is flush with water. Along the 100th we get both extremes. This summarizes it p

You can do it either way. The risk threshold from my perspective is how much you charge in rent, with how large your deposit is, along with how often you inspect your properties. Also, you have to be prepared to sue, file liens, and use she
