By the way, I was working full time during school... wasn't a great paying job, but I did make 52K per year with benefits WHILE in school working for the bank. I assume you made more than 52K per year, but even you'd have to admit getting a degree while making 52K per year would probably be the more financially sound decision.

You love to paint me as just some kid who accepts handouts, but I worked pretty damn hard. 16 hours of school per week and 40 hours of bullshit at the bank.

Go fukk yourself, pal.

so while you were doing 16 hours of school and 40 hours of full time work when were you playing division 1 baseball

Nope, I quit the baseball team sophomore year, which I've said several times. Wasn't getting any playing time anyway. Pitched very rarely.

Wait so you're assuming that I was failing out of college, and I just tell people I had a good job so I quit? And since I'm just a dipshit that failed out of college, I can't have a decent job.

So since you're guessing that's what happened...Do you wanna play a game?

Banks hire random 20 year old kids and pay them $52,000.00/year plus full benefits. Add payroll taxes and insurances to that salary and benefit package and the bank hired the 20 year old kid at a cost of approx. $75,000.00/year. I'm sure this is a common practice........just not one that I'm familiar with. Oh, and when you add that banks were in terrible shape four years ago makes this even more believable.

4 years ago? I started college in 2006 dipshit.

Some fukking unbelievable stupidity in this thread.

By the way, if you could read, you could say I said 52 cash/benefits... meaning the benefits bring it up to 52. Cash was about 46. I was still all on my dad's government insurance anyway so it was less helpful for me anyway.

So you managed to keep your grades up at undergrad and have a full time job making 52K a year?

Are you some type of superhuman, all college kids I know, never had a full time job making good money like that!

You just keep getting more and more impressive with the stories you share with us!

What you're saying is not accurate. If the success rate of small business was truly 1.9% like you are claiming, people wouldn't start them at all. It isn't that bleak and your generalities are misguided.

ok my #'s are a little over the top but you get the point. ok so its 1 out of every 20 here in ny MOST small businesses that are successful dont generate 100k in profit per year. maybe in tennessee where you live small businesses have a better success rate because the whole town is related to the family that owns the business

I know I've posted on this forum that my GPA was pretty shitty. The job and the relationships I was in had a big part of that. I skipped a lot of classes.

Knoxville handled the recession a hell of a lot better than most places. I can tell you that much from what I've read.

so with a shitty gpa regardless of your lsat score got you into a top 10 law school. if your gpa was so shitty they would have yanked your money from you

We both have different opinions of what is shitty. I think a 3.2 is shitty. You might think a 3.2 is good. See the difference? I never lost scholarships, and yes, I had to get a great score on the LSAT to even sniff a school like Northwestern. So I spent the 2 weeks before the test cramming and delivered. Most Northwestern people probably had 3.9's and 4.0's....overly ambitious bastards.

regardless you opened a business with a partner 2 years ago and are generating over a 100k in profits your first 2 years a business normally loses money the first 3-5 years of business and yours happens to be generating 100k in profits think about that

**showtiime** · 06-19-12, 04:45 PM

uh oh 2.0

Why wouldn't you keep that job and work your way up and learn the ropes as a 18 year old kid, instead of going to 8 more years of college?

That never even crossed your mind? How many of your buddies at 18 were making 52K? How many college grads with some stupid business degree were making 52K straight outta college?

Have you ever considered that maybe my business is a franchised business and won't have the costly start up costs?

That ever entered into your brain?

The money could have been pretty solid in a few years if I could advance. But I really hated my job. Hell, I had an offer after undergrad to work as a 'financial analyst' for a local mortgage company. Pretty good pay, but part of the job description was calling dead beats and threatening them to pay their mortgage. No thanks.

See, I always thought this part of your story was weird (I have no knowledge of what actually takes place)...

I always figured a high ACT gets you into a good college...Then I thought they had expectations of you at college or they pull your scholarship. Now I realize that 3.2 is decent, but I would think that if they were paying you 5-10K a year to attend their school, they'd expect you to be near the top? Unless they pay everyone 5K a year to go there....

yes i was waiting for that where did you get your initial money to invest????? and you have already paid that back and are making 100k profit???? you tell some terrible stories. you really cant find a decent franchise for less than 200-250k that will generate you 100k profit over 5 years let alone 2

whoa whoa whoa, I never said the profit was on top of the money that needed to be replenished for the initial investment. Calm down pal. You're putting words in my mouth. I'm not going to say, oh, we're in the red this year b/c we haven't received our initial investment back yet. At this pace, we will receive the full investment back by next year.

I never said I got a 3.2... but I see your point. I had 3 different scholarships and they all had different requirements. One of them you lost if you had 2 consecutive semesters with a GPA of 3.0 or below. One of them you lost if your GPA ever fell below 3.0, the other I don't even remember what the requirements were, it was the one pretty much everyone got (Lottery Scholarship).

Banks were in poor shape in 2006 and the mortgage crisis was in full effect come 2007.

Oh, and if you are 24 now..........you were 18 in 2006. Banks giving $52K packages to kiddos straight out of H.S. happens all the time. Oh Kerry..........what are we going to do with you?

**allabout the $$$** · 06-19-12, 04:55 PM

here we go again im sure you said in another thread that you just got into this business venture with your friend and i believe there was more than 1 friend and it was maybe 2-3 months ago. dont have crusty dig it up because we know he will just admit that you are telling lies here and i can go back to leaving you alone

As I said, I was making around 46K per year in cash. It isn't that hard to believe the section of the bank I worked in required you to work on CHRISTMAS, that was hell.

**hawley** · 06-19-12, 04:56 PM

What is a 3.0 Kerry, just to save me looking it up?

is a 1.0 an A+ average or something?

I'd like to see this. Because it sounds like something you're pulling out of your ass. I own 50% of a franchised restaurant. I'll let you figure out which it is. I eat my lunch there every day though, if that makes you feel better.
