Re: Prs to be making me less broke? Financial Follies
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] This might be a good time to state preferences, as if I had the right to hold them. THINGS I HATE: Sales, customer service. I just can't [censored] deal. I like industrial / construction work okay, but hooo boy am I bad at it. I have no experience in anything else other than academia and cards. [/ QUOTE ] One of my buddies got his degree in history as well, and took a job w/ a construction company as a 'gopher' for a year. He's now part of management, making ~ 70-80k a year, and due to make 120k+ next year with opportunities of buying the business. Might be worth lookin into. [/ QUOTE ] Short-term, baby. I just want to get things under control over the next few months. The last thing I want is a career. Our objective is to make it out of this thing without somehow joining the managerial class.

[/ QUOTE ] Go to a temp agency and see about jobs in data entry. How fast can you type? I believe as long as you can type 40-50 WPM (I can do about 90 so 40-50 all that fast at all really) you can probably get in. It's boring, but it's no sales/customer service and it usually pays well relative to other low-skill entry level jobs.

Re: Prs to be making me less broke? Financial Follies
if you were a professional poker player for 2 years, i would imagine that you could make atleast $10/hr online. probably $25. id look to grind some more and pay off your debts which will improve your pysche and then try to find a real job if you want.

[/ QUOTE ] 1) I have no money with which to start. Nothing. 2) My confidence, emotional control, psychological stamina & etc. with respect to cards are completely shot. I've been playing on a near-constant state of low-level emotilt since 2006; now the instant somebody raises or floats me I start getting pissed. I think that, at the very least, I need a break.

Re: Prs to be making me less broke? Financial Follies
einstein was a genius. you're just a guy with a big vocab and no self discipline.
but i can sympathize. i'd probably be in the same spot as you if i didn't luck into a really good job at the same exact time i went busto earlier this year. bartending is your best option it seems. if you don't want to do that you could easily make $25/hour online. get 1k and start playing 50nl like your life depends on it. this is your opportunity to learn to not be lazy.

Not that that's relevant at all!

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I tried that whole 'golden moment to get tough and recommit' thing. Then I lost 16 bi at Full Tilt one night, took the rest to Prima, and lost 10 more bi. Spent the rest getting back to Texas. I have nothing.

an aside: Do you need a college degree to be placed through a temp agency? [/ QUOTE ] No, but you may end up doing back breaking labor with people who don't speak english if you don't. Best case is some warehouse or assembly line type stuff.
