You'll make more money in two weeks working at McDonald's than you'll earn in a year from an MLM. Also Payless sells non-slip black shoes for like, $10.  That would not be my first choice of emoji for this post

About four years ago, someone I knew tangentially was in the same situation. They just suddenly inherited about sixty trained race horses with decent records that they had zero interest keeping and just wanted to give away. My mom was living on a farm a few states over and wanted horses anyway, but said it was too much of a pain to rent a trailer. I'm still a little mad over not getting a free horse. We could have at least sold it, my friend trains race horses and said they were worth about 20k each. Anyway, on a different note, I had a conversation the other day with a co-worker that reminded me of this thread. He said his wife wanted a dog and even though he really didn't want one he went out and got one for her. Via lease. For 1800$. On a dog that doesn't have any shots or been neutered. I told him he was an idiot and he just kept saying he got a crate in the bargain so it was totally worth it. When I mentioned that dog repo men are a thing he just ignored it and kept saying it was a good deal and he wasn't going to miss a payment.

Does he know they give dogs away at the shelter? Also, holy poo poo, how on earth could it possibly be too much of a hassle to get a few horses to sell for potentially 6 figures?

I mean, shelter pets aren't free, but they're still a hell of a lot cheaper than $1800. Although with that price tag I'm assumign he got a purebred dog.

It is a real stretch to imply buying non-slip shoes to work some 9-5 job is some kind of burden. Hell, for most people the peace of mind of having a job where they know exactly how much they'll take home every two weeks+benefits far exceeds the nebulous concept of 'working from home'. They also conveniently take for granted the fact that there are decent jobs out there that give you a uniform allowance, designating money every year to cover your uniform, shoes, and other necessary safety equipment. Mechanics in a lot of places get an annualTool Allowance to buy whatever tools they might need.

I haven't seen a tool allowance on someone's check that comes close to touching what those guys (and sometimes gals) spend on tools but it also pays better than minimum wage. Decent factories around where live have a shoe allowance each year and usually Reswing or someone sends a van out to the shop to get people kitted out when the new allowance money is coming out. And yeah, usually people need a decent set of shoes anyway and it is only a little more for non slip.

All those tiny little yappers look the same to me, and he just showed me a picture. Still, to go from not wanting a dog to 1800$ in debt (not including vet stuff) is just insane for me.

goddamn 575 a month is living the dream around here. Glendale can be sketchy af but could be worse. I know a guy who moved out here for voice acting and he was telling me that he is living with a customer he met while bartending elsewhere (place that's stealing his tips!!!) who is putting him up in his shared room and also the dude is seeing 2 girls on the side who don't know about each other. Yeah Forget what he pays but it's more than 575 that's for sure

I wouldn't suggest anyone move to Reno or Vegas but maybe he has family in the area or something. Why not move to some burned down rust belt city, rent a room for dirt cheap, and try to find work there?

It might be doable if you're in a line of work you can do remotely, but a)that OP isn't(and their current gig economy stuff is something that scales down horribly once you're outside of a big city & its suburbs), and b)jobs that you can do remotely generally pay enough that you don't have to live in a dying rust belt town. But realistically, that OP getting out of SoCal and into any area with a sane rental/housing market would do wonders. Haifisch fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Jan 11, 2018 |

From one of that guy's replies:quote:Problem is, the area I'm trying to find work - namely game shows - is such a small niche nowadays that the few shows that are out there hire up before I ever catch wind of it. I've been told that I'm at "back of the Rolodex" status for one particular show, and just learned that it's been renewed for multiple seasons, so if there's ever going to be an opportunity here then that's probably it. Otherwise, it might be best for me to just move on and go somewhere else. Better to give it up than hold on to false hope. ...game shows?

Drunk Tomato posted:Lol I bet he just wants to go on Jeopardy and be the next Ken Jennings Yet the way to get into any role is to be available for anything. He should have been networking by helping on as many film projects as possible, not trying to avoid having anything to do with film or TV. There's a bit prior to the quote above. quote:That's the thing: I know I'm right at the cusp of getting work. I've been doing a lot of the things you've suggested: going to tapings, meeting people in the business and getting friendly with them, stressing a desire to break into the industry. He's not doing anything except trying to get in front of the camera. If he really wanted to get in there are a lot of positions that aren't in front of the camera that would give valuable connections and opportunities. I've seen a lot of people make the same mistake.

He's like those people who want to be a top chef, but don't want to endure the gruntwork of working at someone else's restaurant(especially if they have to do non-cooking work at first). Sorry, it doesn't work that way unless you're a savant and have family willing and able to bankroll you indefinitely.
