I’ve made that much when I was unemployed flipping cars on craigslist back in the day. If I was gonna go to college id make sure when I got out I’d make at least $100k a year… Then again im from down state in a city where if you make under $65k a year your considered poor. ---

Get my company to pay for my Masters, make even more bank, get some crazy close to the top executive position with BALLER perks and I’ll feel like I did it right.

Flipping cars was the easiest thing I have ever done in my life and NO, it didnt take much time at ALL, DEF no effort and no, not a whole lot of stress… Half the time when I bought a car I made the person drive it to me, I’d then take 4 pictures of the car, spend about 7 minutes listing in online and wait for phone calls… Again, no time, no effort, no stress… ---

If you have to even doubt that for a second then, well, I don’t know what to really tell you. I am just giving my 2 cents based on what I SEE, every day, all day. I did the college thing and got a degree in computer science. I got a job instantly, and worked in my field (still, its my day job) for the last 8 years or so, non stop. But in that time my company laid me off because of loss of contract twice, and NONE of the places I worked at were solid enough, made me like my job enough, and made me feel comfortable enough to think “Yeah i could retire from here.” Not to mention I “know it all” becasue I have a very diverse network of contacts; lawyers, cops, business owners, business managers, aunt is a head hunter for high end employment, family in the school system, on and on. I have always been a sponge for knowledge so I tend to know alot, if you feel that way, becasue I pay attention to everything around me very well. Come by and meet me/us, dont be a stranger and your outlook for Shift might change a bit. > [@JRubino"](#): > > Krazykid is the resident know it all. Glad I could be of assistance.
