Where's the thread we made for you gone?

[austinoutloud]

Anything in computers, if you can get that. But then again you can go to college and still get payed shit if you want to be a teacher. I'm going to be poor for the rest of my life.

You can buy coke, then boil it with baking soda and water to create a more potent product (crack), maximizing your product for top notch earnings.

Worse comes to worse, I know a guy that sells heat for a decent price. Take about $200 and invest in a Glock 19 and some extra rounds. Rhino hollow points work well. Be a stick-up-kid for a little while.

Just because you're not doing well in school doesn't mean you can't try harder, and is not an excuse for you to settle for a low-end job.

Gosh, doesn't anyone panhandle anymore?

[LoveToMySilas]

I hear the waiters/waitresses at Applebee's make big bucks from the tips and hosting and all of that. I mean, I don't think you need to go to college to do that. Hopefully...haha. Expensive american restuarants, ftw. If not Applebee's, try Sizzlers.

I was just talking to Trish about this last night, lol.

Join the military and go to war. If you live, you just might be able to spend the money you get from dodging snipers and maneuvering around IEDs.
