You can live off of working 2 McDonald's full-time. Am I Right? (Please read before answering)?
So I plan to get an apartment in Tampa Florida in about 80 days from now. I plan to prove everyone that said that education is required to survive in this bad economy without dying from succumbing to financial difficulties wrong. Everyone says education is a must but the truth is they don't f*cking know that it's not required at all. It's just a waste of an ENORMOUS amount of time. They never tried my plan. I'm a mathematical genius and I have done the math. I challenge someone to prove me wrong here...
The apartment I will be renting will be a 1 bedroom apartment for $600 a month. I will be making $2,120 a month from working the 2 McDonald's I have already done the math and calculated the price with tax deduction.($2,120 a month) So here's my cost deductions and the money I'll have left when I'm done spending. I didn't leave any necessities out...
Water:$10(A one time buy)
Food:$40 a month since I don't eat much...
Gas:$50 a month
Clothes:$70 a month
Internet:$80 a month
Electricity:$220 a month
Cable:$0 because I don't watch TV
Transportation:$40 biweekly
Deodorant:$10 biweekly
Apartment:$550-600 monthly
I'm still left with about $1040 dollars. That's way more than enough for me to live my life comfortably. I'm not a dreamer, I'm a Realist. I've had actual experience in this situation. I'm not imagining this in my head. I'm a very hard worker so I don't mind working 400 hours a week. I challenge ANYONE to prove me wrong in detail. The point I'm trying to make is that no one has to waste over 8 years of their life going to high-school then college. It's possible, though very difficult, to live life financially without a GED, High-School Diploma, or College Degree, and that's exactly what I plan to do. So F*ck school. Its not required and it shall NEVER EVER BE!!! Its just a COLOSSAL, EXTRAVAGANT WASTE OF TIME!!! Think about it, you waste 13 years of your time(from Kindergarten to High-School, then you waste 4 or more years in college, amounting to a total of over 17 years of your life wasted job to get a good job, when the shocking truth is, education, for the most part is just a waste of FAR TOO MUCH TIME!!! If you want to go to Stupid college to look fancy getting that stupid College Degree, then do so. Not my F*cking time getting wasted. I dropped out of High-School at 17, you should too. I have never regretted it. I'm just as intelligent as a man who didn't finish High-School. So do you agree with me in saying education is a waste of a lot of time? It's the government's fault and E-Commerce/(money). So F*ck them both. It took me a while to write this so constructive comments will be well valued... I'm going to prove the government and everyone else that said that education is a must to survive life financially wrong. I know it's tiresome and its a bit unhealthy to work all those hours, but in my PERSONAL opinion, its far better than going to school. Can someone please post this on a forum to have this open for discussion. Thank You. I'm very smart and I wish bad on no one. Wish me luck on my journey to working real hard. And remember to ignore all those who say take your education seriously,unless of course, you want to be someone special like a scientist, doctor,etc. If you have read this, Thank You for taking the time to do so. And I'm not ignorant. My journey will begin soon. I've come this far for a reason. Wish me luck everyone. I know this was really long but its worth it to me. Bye, and once again(F*ck School)! Have a great day everyone!!!
This is kind of irrelevant, but I would also like to add that school also sucks because it makes some people kill themselves. Watch this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2enaoFrEE9s
Bullying does not really happen in the work world. Its extremely rare. Its sad when these things happen but like I said school sucks so F*ck it...
I meant working 80 hours a week, sorry. I said water is a 1 time experience because I will buy a couple bottles of water once then use the tap water to refill the bottle once its done. Thanks for the answers!!! They sound really good so far. And for food, its free at the McDonald's in Tampa. That's what my sister said. So I don't really have to worry about that...

If that place generates a $220 a month electric bill.... then there is something very wrong with that picture. Since you will never be home and working 2 jobs why do you think you will spend $220 a month on utilities?
Turn the A/C off when you leave the house and leave it at 72 when you get home.
McDonald's entry level jobs? Why bother with 2 entry level jobs when you could instead try and move up into management? There is money to be made in retail and fast food... but it isn't at the bottom of the job scale. If you are intelligent, hard working and have management skills (those things you don't learn in school) then by all means don't waste your time with 2 menial jobs when you could be in charge telling others what needs to be done and make no less than twice what they make an hour.
Your list of necessities is a bit off.... but I am sure real life will soon teach you how much you end up spending on things. For starters you could easily get away with less than $100 in utilities per month but will need to move the extra money towards your food bill. $40 isn't going to cut it. Just go shopping to fill up your refrigerator with the basics.... lol... there goes $100 a trip and you only get a couple of bags of groceries. You don't intend to live off the $1 Menu, do you?
The rant was not necessary. There is plenty of people out there that opted to learn a trade or simply start working at a place and move up the ladder. Happens every day and none of these people run around screaming and yelling about it. It is not that big of a deal and you will survive. Get yourself a roommate... it will make things easier in the beginning and remember... you can move up the job ladder... even at McDonald's.

No one said it's impossible to survive in the work-force without a tertiary education. I think it's more difficult, but not impossible. At the end of the day, it's your choice to go the college or not. I think you may find it inspiring that Richard Branson (of the Virgin empire), Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were college drop-outs, and I think Donald Trump might have been too. School gives you a very specific channel of education which isn't necessarily for everyone. I do believe in the saying that 'jobs are for people who didn't go to college, careers are for people who did' because despite what you may think, college education trains you well for specialised (and often high ranking) positions. College graduates can earn more by working less hours.
If you're happy working full-time (you wrote 400 hours a week, I think you meant 40?) then I wish you the best of luck and you seem like a very intelligent person. I think because of your intelligence, you would be great in some sort of corporate position where you could be earning a lot, versus a job at McDonald's.

I didn't read your entire question, the only reason being that I think you are correct, but why on earth would you need to prove you are right by working at a McDonal'ds of all places!!? You'd make minimum wage and while yes, you can technically survive if you work at least 30-40 hours per week, why would you want to? You don't need a fancy education, but you're still capable of making a lot more than $8 or $9 an hour without one. Even if you became a server or a bartender at a high end restaurant, you'd make way more than that. Or better yet, start a business. I started one. I clean houses and offices. I make $30 to $40 an hour doing so. I dropped out of high school and only attended college for one short semester. Finally gave up and accepted that I've never liked school and have never been a classroom style learner and that it was time to embrace who I was, not try to fit the mold of what society expects from everyone. You know--graduate high school, graduate college, get married, have kids, blah blah blah BORING!
I plan on someday opening a dog sled tour ranch with a bed and breakfast. Why would I need a college education for this? I simply need to make enough money to be able to save up for it. It'll take a few years, but I'll get there.
[edit] by the way, some of the brightest people I know didn't finish college and some of the ones that did didn't even utilize their degree. The majority of those that are attending college or did attend college and believe all the propaganda are nothing more than sheeple.

Even if "you don't eat very much", your food bill will be quite a bit more than $40/mo, but you've overestimated how much deodorant costs and how much you need ($10 biweekly? More like $5 every two months [antiperspirant doesn't cost much], unless you put it on 5 times a day. Things you didn't account for was INSURANCE for the car, contingencies, and how do you think water will be a one-time expense??? But no, you don't NEED to go to college. However, working 40 hours a week at McDonald's sounds like a pretty awful trade-off. You could do much better than that in a more congenial environment.

You see penny stocks are high velocity, fast move, fast paced investments that you don’t typically hang onto for a long period of time. Understand how simple it is to make money with penny stocks https://tr.im/c7Ge0
There are exceptions of course. Sometimes you will find some long-term trades that pay off big! Other times you will get into what are known as swing trades and those can really pay off as well. Most of the time though, profitable penny stock trading is all about the short game.
In most cases you will buy and sell the same stock within a week. I’m not talking about day-trading which you may have heard about before. That’s a completely different game with a different set of rules. (It’s also a bit more risky.)

Theres no real other way to put it. You HAVE to trust him. Trust issues leave a relationship to be really rough. He's feeling crowded by you, and you're being a little clingy wondering what he's doing all the time. I know its hard to learn to trust again, because I was cheated on in the past and know what its like, but you gotta break those walls down. Talk to him, let him know how you feel and what you've been through and work through it together.

I'm making good profit with penny stock
Check here http://trade-pennystock.checkhere.info/
Many new investors are lured to the appeal of a penny stock due to the low price and potential for rapid growth which may be as high as several hundred percent in a few days. Similarly, severe loss can occur and many penny stocks lose all of their value in the long term. Accordingly, the SEC warns that penny stocks are high risk investments and new investors should be aware of the risks involved but you can even make very big money. These risks include limited liquidity, lack of financial reporting, and fraud. A penny stock is a common stock that trades for less than $5 a share. While penny stocks generally are quoted over-the-counter, such as on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the Pink Sheets, they may also trade on securities exchanges, including foreign securities exchanges. In addition, penny stocks include the securities of certain private companies with no active trading market. Although a penny stock is said to be "thinly traded," share volumes traded daily can be in the hundreds of millions for a sub-penny stock. Legitimate information on penny stock companies can be difficult to find and a stock can be easily manipulated.

Actually you could exist with just one job but you might have to do without a car, cable TV, or new clothes.
I agree that most of education is a waste of time. Also it should not be necessary to go to school 17 years (counting kindergarten) to get a decent job. That's totally insane.
