  • High paying computer jobs?

    So after roughly 5 minutes of research it seems computer IT guys make about 30-50k salary.

    Not to appealing to me. I wanna know what else is out there with a higher salary but where i dont have to be like "one of the best" and a boarderline genius to get a good job like at apple or google or just any job fixing computers or coding.

    I have only played with xcode a couple days and teaching myself code is exhausting.

    I havent done any schooling YET on computers as im not sure of a career path yet. All i know is i want to be involved with computers and technical problems.

    So i dont know my true potential with code yet but im realistic enough to know that i wont be in apple coorporate anytime soon.

    So yes, what are some decent paying careers that involve computers or work at a big corporation like google etc preferably but anything else will be considered.

    Thanks!

  • bluetooth car cassette adapter?

    what would be FANTASTIC is a wireless bluetooth cassette adapter that i don't have to plug my iphone into every time i get in my car. one where it automatically connects and plays music through or my voice guided GPS app.

    is there anything like this that exists thats reasonably priced? I've been look all over amazon and can't find anything.

    even like a little airplay box that plugs into a car outlet or SOMETHING! I'm sick of wires!

  • legs sore form running. pain won't go away!?

    so my first time out for a jog in months and i went 5 five miles.

    since then my legs have been incredibly sore. i understand theres like lactic acid that builds up and is what makes the muscles so sore.

    also whenever i sit down and get off my feet, whenever i get up my leg muscles are super stiff and tightened up and hurt like hell.

    what i don't get though is why my legs have been sore and tightening up like that so much for the last 4 days. their not getting better at all. any muscle soreness i get from snowboarding or running before last into the next day but went away quickly.

    any explanation or cure?

  • i need to sound proof a room! for cheap! help!?

    heres the thing, i moved from a huge house with a large basement out in the country with just about no one around and no sound ordinance. now i live with my dad in a housing complex with neighbors about 10 feet from my house. Im a drummer that can't drum anymore! i set up my kit and tried it once and within 10 minutes had two neighbors at my door complaining. my next option was to sell my kit and get an electric one to plug headphones in. but i LOVE my kit and am having trouble parting with it.

    so how can i sound proof the room so that no one outside can hear it for a very low cost!? its a pretty small room. i wanna say i remember my dad saying the dimensions were like 10 by12 or something.

    I've heard of egg cartons... but i doubt my dad will let me tack egg cartons all over the walls in his new house.

    any kind of cheap black foam? and really.. i need this to be SUPER quiet! i play loudly.

  • help with a bank loan!?!?

    i have no idea where to start with loans and banks and taxes and all that crap. I'm 20. unfortunately no ones taught me to much about this stuff.

    here's the deal, my ford taurus is about to roll over to 240,000 miles. breaks are about to go, bearings are about to go, the muffler shakes and rattles. i NEED a new car asap. and i don't want to put anymore money into the ford. right down the road is a small auto shop and their selling a year 2000 BMW (idk the model i forgot) but its like a car. standard shift with 50k miles on it for 8,500. I WANT IT. yes i know BMW's are expensive to fix and all that. thats besides the point right now. i need a car fast but currently have only 300 bucks.

    i work under the table too...

    BUT can easily be put on the book if i ask.

    so, if i got put on the books would the bank spot me a loan so i could get this car?

    how much would payments be to the bank? i make 250-350 a week depending on the hours i get. sometimes more like 500 a week when i work open to close.

    is it possible? idk what to do. and I'm pretty sure neither of my parents will help out TO much. maybe a little... but it would mostly be advice.

    so what are some tips and opinions?

  • is this a fair price?

    http://rochester.craigslist.org/ele/2537761420.htm...

    i found these v drums online for sale. he said they haven't been used that much and their also 5 years old.

    to me any electronic thats 5 years old should be pretty low in value cause its really outdated.

    i would think more like 5 or 600 for these instead. but idk.

    whats everyone think? (link to pictures and posting at the top)
