As someone originally from central Florida (and I went to UCF), I kept waiting for him to mention Full Sail. A couple of my friends went there before it was nationally known (2001ish) and it's always amusing to see it pop up everywhere now. Edit: to include BWM, they might still be paying off the loans.

Yes, all the way back in 2002-2005 I remember people calling that place Fool Sail. Then in 2009, I worked with several people who went there and had >$100k in loans making ~$11.50/hr. One of the guys drove a ford excursion 25 miles one way to work.

I need a couple of classes for my CPA license because I’m a dumb masochist.

That seems to be the go-to for IT folk (at least a with continuing education). I think their degrees include cert exams in the price? Which seems very GWM as you get something else besides the BA or whatever.

Western Governor's is good if you plan on going straight into IT/Networking/Security, and the cert costs are built into it. Overall a pretty good deal. I know there's a few good online colleges out there, like Excelsior College and Penn State World Campus. I think there's one in Maryland that a few goons in GiP went to, University of Maryland University College.

I mean on the flip side other than presumably wanting to learn the material he already has the degree, I don't think anyone is gonna ask where he took 2 college classes to hit his 150 credit hours to sit for the CPA exam.

One of the guys drove a ford excursion 25 miles one way to work. They're at least accredited now but back in 2002-2005 they weren't. I've also heard they're not well regarded in the industry either to the point where people will toss out grad's resumes but you might get to see some WWE people around campus since they film NXT there. I interviewed for a job there once and the lady interviewing me went to Phoenix University. I was pretty shocked that the scam tech school was staffed by people from a general scam school.

https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/aghf82/help_with_paypal_attempting_to_collect_debt_from/quote:(HOUSTON, Texas) My (50y M) son (currently 17y M) opened a PayPal account 3 years ago (when he was 14), as you know minors cannot legally enter into the signup contract with PayPal. My son used this account because he was very into the cryptocurrency space and wanted to buy/sell with it. Being 14 an internet scammer got a hold of him and charged back after a bitcoin sale was made legitimately, incurring a negative balance of $7500 on the PayPal account.

BEHOLD: MY CAPE posted:That's sort of odd because even Caribbean medical schools are with rare exceptions a very good career investment, and domestic medical schools in the United States have generally been unwilling or unable to educate an adequate number of physicians. I would guess that Caribbean medical school loans are overall a teeny tiny fraction of the overall student loan debt burden and an even tinier fraction of the delinquent or defaulted student loan debt. Iirc it's not the number educated, its control over the number of residency slots that artificially depresses doctors' ranks to keep wages up.

There are less medical school graduates than there are residency positions, we're importing thousands of foreign graduates a year to fill residency programs. Residency education is another issue.

It’s even dumber, the board is annoyed that my accounting ethics class was in the Humanities department rather than the Accounting department. I took the class ten years ago when accounting ethics didn’t exist in the accounting department proper. I just gotta push through. Adding the letters “CPA” after your name is p good with money, after all.

I don't think the kid intended to commit fraud. He just lied about his age, which hos do. Then he got scammed. If you open an account for a made up person orde for someone who is not of age with no docs and no verifications then maybe you deserve what you get, paypal.

Baxate posted:How does PayPal get away with not verifying identities anyway? Pretty sure there’s the whole Patriot Act Know Your Customer thing for money laundering Bingo! They're not a bank. They can eat that loss and ban the person from ever having a paypal account. The parents are morons to sign or acknowledge anything other than a dispute with the credit agencies.  Recently they sent out a "warning!!!!!" about not being able to maintain a Paypal balance unless I took action. I wonder what law(suit?) changed that. Turns out if you just don't press anything they automatically sweep money into your bank account now. Sounds like a feature to me. (I have a dedicated checking account for PayPal (plus their payment app Venmo)) If money ever lands in it I sweep it out into a real checking account. Good luck with that whole blood from a stone thing.

So PayPal is boned on the money, but Junior should probably be picking up trash every weekend for a couple of months as well. But yeah, being ‘like a bank’ doesn’t mean you get all the benefits but none of the risk.

Nirvikalpa posted:Guy on reddit loses more than $50,000 while trading options Ironically, he was so BWM that it might have been GWM. RobinHood accidentally allowed him to collateralize more options (up to a total of $250k of leverage) with the legs of other options he had sold, in a convoluted strategy (short box spread) he believed would create a risk-free method of earning $37k, no matter the outcome, from an initial account balance of 5k. Other posters warned him that this wasn't how it was going to work out, and in the aftermath, the user ended up: In real life, earning a 100% return on the 5k, since RobinHood evidently let him cash out $10k in the account before they closed his account, and liquidated him at an on-paper -$58k loss (-1800%), and caused RH to send a platform wide email disabling option box spread trades for every user, because of this one legendary idiot. But his stupidly was so great, that RobinHood might not want to sue him for the loss, because it would reveal how risk mitigation works (or doesn't work) at RobinHood.

Reading the several posts he got banned or probated for, maybe he really shouldn't have been making racist posts. Or posting in D&D repeatedly. But the circumstances of his banning were sketchy as hell because the 2020 Democratic Primary thread was moved from D&D to C-SPAM and the mods of C-SPAM probated and banned other people for posts made months before (when the thread was in another forum) because those posts broke C-SPAM rules. Posting in D&D seems to be BWAccount. Edit: RIP Bogwitch stories though, that lady scamming people with essential oils and connections to Gaia was pure choice.
