I am getting a real job
Ray Kroc and Colonel Sanders founded McDonalds and KFC (respectively) after the age of 50. I don't think age is a factor either way. There are plenty of younger successful entrepreneurs, and plenty of older successful entrepreneurs. Likewise, I don't know what kinds of responses you were...- SBS.95

Is there a vacuum created by Radio Shack locations closing?
I was just pointing out something along the lines of what OP described. I have no idea what type of store Fry's is or how it's similar/different. We don't have those anywhere on the east coast.- SBS.95

Is there a vacuum created by Radio Shack locations closing?
http://www.microcenter.com/ is sort of what you are describing. They aren't really widespread though. I agree with MJ--I just don't see a B&M brand spreading that specializes in items like that. A lot of it has to do with the consumer society nowadays. When something breaks, you don't fix...- SBS.95

how to get rich by Felix Dennis
MINDSETMy heart jumped, for a second I forgot that Felix Dennis passed away and thought he was actually here doing an AMA. Then I realized the man would probably capitalize his own name. Non-capitalized names bug me.- SBS.95

Do you really need to read 52 books this year? And other media consumption.
MINDSET RANTAnd on the podcast thing, I agree that EoF gets very repetitive. You're much better off cherry picking specific episodes. Listening to them all is a waste, especially because several of the guests don't seem all that successful. Many of them just work jobs that they created for themselves...- SBS.95

Do you really need to read 52 books this year? And other media consumption.
MINDSET RANT99% of those books are exactly the same. I surely can't name 52 of them that are each unique/different. There are a handful of great ones, but at some point you're not taking away anything new. Reading a book a week is a good goal. To actually achieve a goal like that, you have to prioritize...- SBS.95

This guy used an insane get-rich-quick scheme to become a start-up millionaire in three weeks
Exactly. The guy spent $18,000 on a gamble and people are acting like him (potentially) succeeding is somehow bad for "the man". Even the possibility of someone getting the one-up is offensive.- SBS.95

Interesting story. The guy's from York PA which is about 90 minutes from my hometown. EDIT: Wow, there are some real butthurt people in the comments section. It's much easier to be happy for other peoples success but it looks like everyone just acts jealous and "Holier than thou."- SBS.95

Learning C++
EXECUTIONI had a college C++ class. Day 1: professor states how C++ really isn't the best choice for programming in most modern designs. Which goes to show how applicable college Computer Science classes are to real-world applications, but that's besides the point. What's your reason for needing to...- SBS.95

My employers new stance on cell phones.....its YOUR responsibility
This. I don't get these people that look at cell phones as a big expense. I pay $35/month for my prepaid phone. Unlimited everything- talk, text, data. And when I'm at home I use Wifi so fast speeds and constant connection for the majority of the time I use it. These people with $120...- SBS.95

Can forum's make a lot of money?
Key word is historically here. As someone that used to read a lot of car forums, they are a dying breed in favor of Facebook groups. Personally I prefer forums, but that's just the way things are going now.- SBS.95

Why can't I get a job (Slightly NSFW-Language)?
MINDSETWhen you give people the choice of how to spend money, they spend it stupidly. I don't know if you've ever worked a retail job, but when I did I would see people use their food stamp cards for steak, lobster, heck even one got away with a damn fondue kit. Taxpayer money goes to this shit. If...- SBS.95

Why can't I get a job (Slightly NSFW-Language)?
MINDSETI've never understood this, especially on Reddit where 90% of the users are college students that are just looking for some $9/hour job.

My Guide: The Top 150 Best Books For Men – What Successful Businessmen And Entrepreneurs Read
BOOKSIf it's a good list that helps people, I don't see why it can't a) add value, and b) make him a few bucks.

Getting paid to go to college/Help me decide on a major.
I agree with you to an extent, and like I said there will always be some need stateside for them. Just pointing out that it's not the high-demand field it once was.

Getting paid to go to college/Help me decide on a major.
