if a sales guy lives like he makes 500k, he probably makes 250 and has a mountain of debt.
if a sales guy lives like he makes 200k, he probably makes 100 and has a mountain of debt.
if a sales guy lives like he makes 100k, he probably makes 50 and has a mountain of debt.

so yes it's fake image and yes they also make a lot more money than their tech counterparts

also, if a sales guy tells you he makes 200k, it means he made 151k, one year, and rounds up to the nearest hundred. this year he probably made 85.

social media marketing is a fantastic job to have currently because the pay is good and the job is entirely based on companies thinking they need a social media presence because other companies do

to be honest i would not be making fun of this if he built the stand in tuscaloosa. i'm sure there are people in alabama who would buy and appreciate these hotdogs tailored to whatever the local preferences are

but it's insane to try and build a fast food joint in the outskirts of a depressed one-horse town twenty miles away from the nearest commercial strip, especially when there are already several national franchises in town (wikipedia says Jacks and Subway at least)

sounds like we have the makings of a good underdog movie!

there are a couple important differences

in 1999 if you were over 20 and knew how to spell "internet" you could easily find a high salary position at a startup that didn't know it was doomed yet

now if you're coming out of college you can easily find a job in social media management but either you're an unpaid intern or the twitter thing is secondary to your mop duties

so i guess if you're a super nerd there's your dating pool, served on a plate. pretend to care about "flat design" for an hour, meet a ton of employed under-30 women

i would think that furniture would work much better. the profit margin is higher, its hard for competition to spring up, and its the kind of product that has a high dollar value so if someone only comes in every 2-3 years, theyre still dropping a lot of money each time
