The only IQ test that matters is whether you're smart enough to find a way out of waging, whether it's building and selling a business, investing in the right assets, or getting rich from online content.Everything else is irrelevant.

having a job again would be pretty comfy though
I would even go into the office
>>
pretty much, yea

Got a call for a job for which I have the certs about remote management. But they called 6 hours ago, I was going to call first thing in the morning so lol they probably won't even asnwer.

But in the 1% chance I get them on the line, force the recruiter to TALK ABOUT THAT JOB and refuse to send over my resume unless considered for that specific job and can get that job, the first step in my plan to work 3 remote jobs will be complete.
>>
What if you're smart enough to find a job that you enjoy. Or even just smart enough to gaslight yourself into enjoying waging. Ulyimately, the goal is enjoying life, it doesn't really matter how you get there.

the problem is that labor is one of the most expensive parts of running a business. so when tough times come and the company needs to cut costs, labor is the first to go. to minimize your chance of being let go you have to bring value to the company and stay at the top of your field. this applies or the rest of the labor force. the top 10% of any field are the ones that get offers. so unless you are in a field you dominate in, being in the labor force will always have an element of uncertainty. not to mention the fed itself likes a certain potion of the population unemployed to cool off inflation. employers also benefit from having people desperate because they can be picky. all this to say that i agree with OP. fuck these jobs. the moment i make it i will never work a job again.

Einstein was a genius and rich (like $12MM net worth today) but he did what he loved and worked till he died. So that kind of throws what you're saying out the window, doesn't it

I 100% agree with this. The internet and technology has made this the easiest time to become rich ever just by virtue of the wealth of information at everybody's fingertips but the idiots use it just to complain about how hard they have it instead of trying literally anything to improve their situation.
I have offered to teach family members about how I made it (with stocks and option spreads) but they would not even try to learn. They just wanted to give me money and have me invest it for them.
I lost the last shred of sympathy I had for normies it would have been so easy to scam them out of all their hard wagied life-savings and they would have absolutely deserved it.

being a tenured professor with his reputation wasn't really a job but more of a playground for him to do whatever he wanted.

assuming youre really successful and not LARPing, your family and friends are right to prefer you do it for them. it requires skills and a mentality that cant be taught. you must know theres many people that know more than you that have failed in the markets
>>
>>62205005
I partially agree and disagree. I concur that while there are a myriad ways to make it like OP said there is a sort of "emotional detachment" mentality that will be immensely beneficial in all of them. While this may come easier to some people than others I absolutely refuse to believe that this state of mind and the associated skills cannot be taught. I see it merely as a matter of developing a habit, similar to regular working out or learning an instrument.
The most fundamental of all these habits if one of continuous learning. I tried pennystocks, daytrading, TA and various unlawful enterprises in order to make it before I found a niche in which I could consistently beat the market and I am still studying new strategies in an effort to diversify.
They however did not even want to start. It would have been perfectly fine if my investment strategies would have been too stressful or risky for their tastes but they never even engaged. They just expect someone else to do things while they watch TV and bitch about the current thing.

In one of the MITs courses they put on youtube about the service itself the professor stated that when universities started putting their lectures online for free they expected that underachieving/underprivileged students would get a leg up from them but instead the only ones who used them at all where already the top students/overachievers.
I have started to see the K-shape everywhere.

I can think of a lot of really smart engineers who would never be able to run a business to save their lives. I don't think of them as idiots.
Though they could probably hack it as quant traders if they felt like it, go independent that way.

>have to work to do any of that shit
can't escape
even investing in the right assets has psychological work. reassuring yourself you picked correctly...

being an elite college professor isn't a real job. you aren't expected to teach, unless you want to. you're given grants gibs left and right to investigate whatever ideas you want. it's like being nobility.
>>
>>62204980
>Just do something you don't want to do bro!!

It's as hard for me to invest in stocks or do YouTube or any of that boring shit as it would be to stack shelves or whatever. Arguably setting up a business or anything is 100x more boring and difficult than just stacking shelves
>>
>>62204400
agree too. I managed to get my NW up to about $2 million,I only made it so far because of crypto, I never treated it like real money until I cashed out. I need around 2.8 to comfortably retire but I am such a pussy, I cannot take big risks, I am just too afraid. My plan is to put about 500k into some triple leveraged ETF the next time we get a bigger pullback. pls halp me make it as fast as possible I cannot tolerate waging anymore.

The #1 answer to this is experience of the Divine. This being the highest state of Knowing Thyself.

A distant #2 is being able to order one's obligation & success in the material world.

Ah shit my post didn't go through so I'll try again

Look up these terms first:
>Calls
>Puts
>Nakes/Covered
>Assignment
>Premium
>The greeks
>IV
>Maximum Pain
>Calender Spreads
>Rolling (the Wheel)

Stay within the risk you are comfortable with. Don't chase Premiums, it will get you burnt. Buy to close options you sold instead of letting them expire. Even if they expire worthless you will give up the time in the weekend if you don't roll them over.
Ex-Dividend Dates and earnings will greatly increase the chances of assignment, plan accordingly.

NEVER EVER SELL NAKED SHORTS!!! YOU WILL END UP LIKE MELVIN CAPITAL!

If you sell calls above your cost basis and puts below you will always make (some) money. If one end goes in the money you can roll them up or down to the nearest higher/lower price that will give you more premium than the buy to close price. This will give you more money and allow you to catch a potential move back to the mean, while rolling to the nearest out of the money price might leave you dry for months.

you guys hate waging because you have shitty entry level nigger tier humiliating jobs

>>62205271
I got a good job and after a couple of years even that becomes tedious. I do think it makes you appreciate time off more though
>>
>>62205271
If you can't quit this job that you love tomorrow if you wanted to then you're still entry level at being in control of your life.

I got full WFH engineering job, I can do whatever I want I still hate it.

No they are not right. Investing for friends and family is a one way ticket to bitterness, resentment, and possibly even murder. If things don’t go as they expect, they will resent you. They need to be the ones taking responsibility for their financial decisions. It’s not something you can do for them. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink.
