    And you can too if you.... no just kidding. Well I mean maybe you could. But this isn't spam, I'm not telling you how to make money.

    Its just that I don't talk about money with friends so this is a confession.

    I work for an investment fund, helping them choose investments.

    Its not really technical, I just have a Bachelor of Arts degree and not from a top school. I was out of college for seven years and still doing crap temp jobs before I really got into the business.

    Last year was a good year though at a different job though, this year I will probably only get a little over half that.

    That's pretty damn good if you just have a BA.

    it is easy as all hell to make a lot of money even for a high school drop out.
    my father was a salesman of pharmaceuticals. he was great at doing sales but, he was not worth a shit at, handling the management end of things; i was the only one in my family who had any great deal of management ablity.
    growing up i learn about the pharmaceuticals industry. at around 14 years of age, i started to handle the management end of things from home for my father.
    as time went on, i ment more and more people in the financial areas of the industry; i listen and learned from them. i made two major financial killings, first, with prozac back in the 1980's and, in the late 1990's from viagria. by about 1993 i had made enough money off of prozac that, i could have retired from work for the rest of my life.
    i still work because, just laying around on my ass day in and day out, is just boring as all hell!

    that is one way to get rich.
    there are other ways to do it too.
    i would warn anyone, not to listen to the infocommercials or spammers!
    get off your asses and, get out there and, start meeting people who know how to make money and learn for them.

    Amen to Black Cat....

    work for yourself...do your own business...that's the best way to get some level of freedom from the work a day ratrace world and not have to live under a bridge.

    and anyone with half a brain can do it...you would be surprised how easy it is.....I knew a guy that started a little donut shop and he is making a killing....

    :cheers2:
