God Bless America And God Bless Capitalism!!! Just made a 100 dollars for 2.5 hours Increase the size of your Attachments

GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS CAPITALISM AND GOD BLESS PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE COMPUTERS!


A WEEK from the day I started this thread....

http://apolyton.net/forums/showthre...threadid=134673

I got paid for my first computer support job. Two and a half hours of work, I got paid a hundred dollars... they want me back several times to do more work for them and some for their friends......

I am taking the hundred dollars and investing in a few tools I need, a few local ads, and several hundred flyers and buisness cards(which I am going to put under windshield wipers in commercial parkinglots afluent areas).



A lifetime of computer gaming has given me the skills for buisness, i.e. a lifetime of playing video games means knowing almost everything I need to, to keep a computer in top shape-and how to find out what I do not know.

I see no reason I can not expand this into a buisness when I get back to school after the summer and pay most of my way through the rest of college.

This is also, LESS then a week after I quit my crappy job in an electronics store-a job I hated. I made more in two and a half hours today then I would have in 9 hours at my job-doing work I did not enjoy... I enjoyed the technical work.

*waves a small flag*

That's funny, I had a completely different perspective two weeks ago, when I spent the afternoon helping someone with his conmputer (I made his internet work, taught him a few tricks, made the local mnetwork work, things like that).

I considered that I spent the afternoon while sitting and doing something I enjoyed. This is why I considered the job had obviously less worth than when I was washing the dishes (what a crap job ). The guy eventually paid me twoce the price I set

MarkG, how does this make me a greedy capitalist? I would not buy it before because it was not worth it to me . The amount of money I had was never the issue towards buying Apolyton membership . I love Apolyton but all my $$$ goes towards my college fees lol.

I'm not comparing, I just thought this was a thread where people could talk about their financial good fortune. Makes for better reading than the usual sob stories, imho.

My mistake.

Of course, we're all earnings pikers compared to Sophie who got paid $10 to perform a 45-second test. That translates into a nice $800/hour.
