Great idea to become a millionaire in less than 10 years

[Daily]

Agreed, never regretted it for a second. I love deadlines, the stress, the balancing work with school thing, the parties, the fucked up people, etc.

[Lucifereus]

Agreed with the above. If my college education is already paid for, why not go for the experience, and to meet new contacts? The degree is like an added bonus that will help get a higher paying job.

To Tacho: Nearly all high paying jobs require degrees. Doesn't mean you can't get one without it, or that you can't become wealthy without a degree, but it sure as hell helps.

[Anders Hoveland]

Whether or not to go to university is a complicated subject matter. The simple answer is that some people should go, and others should not. And some people are in the middle, they could go either way.

It depends on what you want, what you are willing to do, your abilities, and to some extent on where you live.

Remember, how you spend your money is nearly as important as how much money you earn. And earning more than 100,000 dollars per year is not going to make you any happier, according to many studies. So what is this really about? Money is only one of several factors that will effect your satisfaction in life.

Only studies i can think of about money leading to satisfaction are Money only gives you satisfaction if your earning more than those that you surround yourself with friends, colleagues etc and earning with in 10% of your partner otherwise i leads to a far higher chance of separation.

As far as earning 1 million dollars fast with or without a degree come to Western Australia and get into mining. Where low end jobs pay a minimum of 100K and if you have a degree or are skilled/experienced you can earn 200k+ with ease. It's shit hours and hard work from what i hear but if you ever want to get rich quick, spend 5 years mining and have hundreds of thousands of dollars above all the uni graduates by the time they graduate.

As for getting a degree in general the way i see it is that it's only worth getting if you actually a) want to get into a particular field and b) it's an actual requirement to be a practitioner in that area.

I think this is a really good point. I don't see why people wanting to be a musician (popular musician, not a symphony member) would get into hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debt for a music degree that really doesn't teach you anything you don't already know.

Get a job waiting tables and play on the side. Spend all of your time building your band up, getting gigs, and getting your name out there. Doing that for four years will get you farther than studying music for four years.

[JC Denton]

Lol you're an idiot.

You'll need at least 10 years just to get the credentials for a job that has a starting salary of 100k. Then at least another 20-30 years before it adds up to a million dollars (you gotta pay off your bills, loans, and tuition right?). A million dollars isn't jack shit anyway.

[Painzstake]

OMr_duckO if that post was directed at me you are sorely mistaken, because you have obviously never heard of a COB (cashed up bogan) there is a huge influx of retards and shit kickers who are close to retiring, simply because they have been in the mining industry. 100k is around the starting wage because you generally have to move out to some shit hole out in the middle of no where and work something like 16 hour days. It's legit ask any Aussie.

Lucifereus clearly has never been to college.

tl;dr: Go to college you degenerate fucks.

actually your wrong dude. working for others is no guarantee to make you a millionaire. earning 100 grand a year you will pay almost half in taxes before you even get it and then you have to live. in a job like that you wont last long or go far if you dont maintain a certain standard of living which involves cars, houses and families so you will be unlikely to ever be worth a million. maybe when you retire your house might be worth a million but thenm you'd have to become homeless to enjoy ever spending it.

the only way to be sure of becoming a millionaire is to start a business yourself. this actually requires no college degrees or actual education of any kind, anyone can do it. a lot of the most successful entrepreneurs have no or little education, they are just a certain type of person. the other way is to be a very good criminal but that is thwart with risks and more likely to fail. altho i would lay money that there are actually more rich criminals than there are rich employees. so your advice is shit.

besides, what makes you think that people think stealing is a good way to make money? the people who actually steal do so out of necessity, not as a career path. its only the authorities and media that like to put that idea out there. the whole idea of a 'career criminal' is just a phenomenon, people who constantly re-offend do so originally because its a needs must thing and then after a while the past offending puts them in a position where its the only door open to them. there isn't these sub human monsters who plan a lifetime of crime as a career path you know. those people are just dreamers who come on zoklet saying shit to look cool to anonymous strangers.

Ok, so you retire a couple decades early (IF you even survive until then) but your lifespan is shortened by over half due to the health effects of mining in a shithole, with more carbon monoxide and firedamp than oxygen, combined with the extreme amounts of stress and sleep deprivation. Sounds legit

[is all mememememe with me]

i know a guy, named quaterman, he was in the papers being called superhod years ago because he supposedly made a million doing hod carrying. the story the papers never heard was that he made most of that from selling coke, lol.

You can also get on the government teat and engage in nonnormative economic activities (selling counterfeit merchandise, fencing, drug dealing, etc), along with working under the table to supplement that income. People stack up all sorts of money that way.

As a matter of fact, a large number, if not a majority, of millionaires have never set foot in university. It's the will to make money and the people you know that allows one to become wealthy.

There is nothing wrong with going to a University to pursue a degree. As long as you somewhat have an idea of what you want. It is all about drive and willpower.

But I already have my PhD in hustlenomics.

drugs, fencing that is petty shit. all that's gonna get you is a nice prison sentence. Unless you're able to move kilos it's not worth it and know when to get out.

All the big money is in white collar crime.

True, but white collar crime is a pretty broad category that tends to require a lot of specialized knowledge. Your average guy won't do it.

Yeah, I have to say that all the people I know that committed crime for a living never really kept it up for very long. Either you end up in prison or you make enough money that you retire and go legitimate, either by having college paid for or starting up a business with the cash.

I imagine most end up in prison, though.

[Tachosomoza]

Many a successful business has been built with dirty cash. And memememe, there are career criminals out there who plan their jobs just like anyone else. They have networks that tip them off about soft targets, disposal methods, and other necessaries. Hell, some of the more organized enterprises have connections in law enforcement/justice system.

very rare breed, you'll find more in movies than real life. a cop told me once that the only people who get away with those big heist type crimes are normal people who never done anything, who then out of the blue commit a big crime. just a one off that they never do again. people who make a career of it usually always get caught from their MO.

That's why you vary the MO. Like I said, there are businesses that have been built from the ground up with money from dubious sources. Things may be different in the UK, but in the US there is such a thing as a "career criminal".

[Trix Are For Kids]

Save up a lot of money explicitly for the sole purpose of blowing it all. Keep it in a separate fund and never touch it until you have a whole bunch. Then go to a casino and bet it all on black. Seriously, I don't know why more people don't do this. If it's money meant to be blown there's no harm no foul.

[Other Side of the Pillow]

I'm about to maybe finish college in December and all I've done is fuck up my credit. Do I still get to be a millionaire in 10 years?

[Tachosomoza]

You can be whatever you want to be, do whatever you want and have whatever you want if you're smart and willing to bend/break the rules.

[Snoopy]

You can do what I do. Sell cocaine and rob east european and spic pimps.

[is all mememememe with me]

what the op doesn't get is that for some of us making a million and taking 10 years to do it just isn't good enough. i want to make 100 million and do it in less than 5. so which course do i sign up for?

Dude, you can't even make a thousand a month.

I go to USF.

1 more semester left.

EDIT:

Shit, my response was WAY off topic.

I don't know how to make a million dollars a year, but I sure as hell am trying to find out.

Getting a shit degree in Political Science soon, well, maybe I'll get a raise or some shit. I definitely regret Political Science, but I worked full time the whole time I was in school and I'm lazy.

Probably going to quit my job and start a small business in May. I don't know how much longer I can take working in an office...

Cashed Up Bogan is the gayest fucking term ever. It licks dog balls and if I hadn't have heard it years ago in the real world I'd think it was another half baked teenagers Urban Dictionary definition.

But yes, what Painztake describes exists, and quite commonly. I don't even work in the mining industry and I pull about $80k a year - and let me tell you that it's a LONG way off ever being a million dollars.

Yeah theres a fucking college conspiracy give me a fucking break. A Bachelor's degree in science with no lab or field experience will get you nowhere, I agree. Do internships and volunteer work in your field of study if you want a job out of college.

"saddle with debt" Yeah because stafford loans from the government are so hard to pay off with their 3.4% interest rate that can be paid off so easily. There's so many ways to get free grant money as well. Go to college and study something you're good at and interested in, build a resume, and you'll get a job. Don't let anyone talk you out of college if you want to go.

This. All of it. I applied to dozens and dozens of scholarships and got enough that I should end up with $10,000 or so in cash at the end of my four years that I did nothing for, other than apply.

That in addition to working throughout the school year, doing internships, and selling random stuff, I should have a nice chunk of cash and a degree. It's hard to beat that.

If you don't get that many scholarships, there is still tons of loans and grants available, on top of the fact that almost every college has tons of campus jobs available for students. $8/hour for a desk job in the library is a sweet gig. You can study the whole time, do just a little work, and get paid for it. It's nice.

[Struwwelpeter]

It should take you no longer than 10 months to become a millionaire, and you can do it straight from the comfort of your bedroom. No work and no crime necessary.

How?

[Struwwelpeter]

You'll need about $5,000 dollars and an internet connection. Take advantage of today's volatile economy by short-selling shitty securities. It should only take a few weeks for you to make a million dollars, not ten months. People on this website who aspire to become 'successful' (i.e. millionaires) by going to school or working are imbeciles. But, then again, aspiring to become 'successful' is something that only a fucking imbecile would do.
