My friend and his wife in their early 30's are living in a small studio apartment in one of these complexes in Glendale. $2000 a month. They love it. Game rooms, common areas, pool, outdoor grills and seating. The thing is, almost no one else uses any of this stuff. It is such a dorm.

80 people sharing a common room no one uses seems more efficient than the traditional American route of building 80 detached single family homes with their own extra bedroom that no one uses.

This guy seems like he had a lot of fun calling the Yale students, "Idiot children" several times.

quote:

I understand why the idiot children at Yale are so sensitive. Really, I do. I sometimes list in my mind all of the poor, suffering people who get a raw deal in this life, and Yale students are always right at the top, with the Bangladeshi orphans and women traded by sex traffickers in Vietnam. Yale isn't a safe space, Congo isn't a safe space - it all makes sense, as long as you don't expect it to make sense.

No, genocide isn't a joke. I'm sure that the women and children being raped to death by Boko Haram appreciate that the idiot children at Yale are making stern faces and pumping their fists. As for me, I think that they're clowns, and worse than that, really: They're bad citizens, and defective people from defective families. They aren't motivated by good will, but by fear: of the dawning realization that they, as people, aren't really all that important, despite having been told all their lives how important they are.

must be nice to be good enough at something you merely like to make a living-wage and career out of it and then having a separate thing that you love that you can make your hobby and have time for both.

you konw what? i thought about it some more and maybe i was wrong to criticize the advice. but can yall give some examples of the two unrelated skills yall have; one that you like and have a career in and another that you love and are a hobbyist of.

I have a few friends who brew beer as a hobby, one is a Software Architect, one delivers pizzas, and one is a pilot.

I said video games for a bit of a giggle, but I just got into scuba diving, which I guess isn't a pre-career passion that I might have otherwise turned into a job, though I will say the advice rings true; when I was in college, I got a kick out of doing Project Euler problems and just trying different ideas or solving puzzles programmatically. Now when I get home after a day of work, I'm all coded out and don't feel like doing something I used to like doing in my free time. I still do some spare time programming, but not with the same vigor.

Don't be a dumbshit.

Look at accounting. Some people can knock numbers out all day and be fine, some people find it literally soul-crushing. It's lucrative as gently caress, so some people might be tempted to do it that shouldn't. That's what I mean.

Besides, a 'career' means you are good enough at some basic thing AND you are good enough at people skills and all the other adult poo poo you need to do. That other stuff is hard enough without coming to hate the thing you're there for every day.

Ok, so couple pages back, but I definitely fit the do something you're good at for money and do what you like for fun. I love games all kinds, but I'm not super good at them. Just ok. Definitely not good enough to be a designer. So no money but plenty of fun there.

I'm really good at accounting. And surprisingly a lot of the skills cross over, like managing limited resources, choosing optimal strategies, teamwork, even bluffing, etc. The only problem is it's not always challenging, and when it's not it's pretty boring. Thank god I get paid for the non-fun/challenging part too.

So so what you love? Where I see businesses fail that were based on "do what you love" is people want to do the part they love and ignore the parts they hate, like getting in front of new people to sell, or doing paperwork. But a successful business requires doing those parts with as much determination (if not as much talent) as the parts they love. Eventually the failure stems from those parts of the business withering and dying and taking the rest down with it. So follow that passion but be committed to take the bad with the good, or it's not gonna work out.

And accounting is very lucrative as gently caress right now because there is a shortage of people with the necessary skills. For 20 years students have avoided it because it's "boring" and went with other majors like marketing and medieval history, only to wind up working jobs that are even less fulfilling and more boring to make ends meet.
