What would you do

[nyjetsfan4lif3]

If you had a 100,000 dollars and no job?

Would you go to school?

Would you start a business ?

Stocks?

Just curious on people's opinions with this economy , being 21 with no college degree makes job hunting a bit hard. So what would you do ?

 

[Last]

I'd get a job.

 

[Tractorman]

Spend some on booze and women, and the rest I would waste foolishly.

But seriously though, I'd get a trade under my belt while working part time if you could swing that. Something like welding, electrician etc. That's going to have a quicker financial return then a 4 yr college. Then after you score a decent job, 50-60k a yr. I'd knock out my degree. Jobs in the oil industry pay...Big. I just turned 30 & I made 120k this year, no degree, no bs. I'm knocking out my degree as we speak.

I would definitely invest a good portion of that, if not all of it but not on your own. I'd use a brokerage firm like fidelity, td waterhouse etc...

Best investment is in yourself, highest rate of return. Start-up business's are to risky, the stock market is way to volatile at this time, that leaves education.

You're full of excuses is the problem.

I'm 24 and don't even have a high school diploma. I have no problem working, and at 21 had no problem finding a job.

If you own 2 houses and an escalade at 21, why are you on here asking for help?

You're doing something right you would think.

Or someone is on his behalf....

You're leaving a large piece of the puzzle out here. Did u make that 100k yourself? Do you have a large inheritance or something?

Thanks for the advice

Eh an education means nothing for a job these days.

I had a 50k-60 a year job from 18 to just recently and my dad died and left me a few bucks unfortunately all good things come to an end.

Ya that's why I'm not sure If I want to spend a bunch on a degree or find a business to start or something

 

[thecrimson]

You have to look at risks here... Starting a small business in this economy is almost guaranteed to fail. Plus, 100k isn't a whole bunch when you look at what it would cost to start something like that from the ground up.

Education in one form or another is your best bet. What did you do to make 60k a year? Use that experience!

 

[GOTSVT?]

Change screen name first to patriotsfan4lif3!
Then I would find some stocks that have nice returns/dividends to invest in long term.

If I was you, I would learn a trade. Either that, or sell both the houses and move to Texas to become a rancher.
