Design is a thankless sucky job. Get out now while you can. You'll never be rich being a web monkey. Oh, wealth doesn't matter? Yeah fuggin' right! Wait til you're 30, and still sippin' Top Ramen, kid. This game will never get back to where it was in the 90's, especially now that "what's his face" is back in office. Anyone notice that the economy is suckin' lately? Gear up, suckas! The next FOUR YEARS is gonna be exactly what my nicca Kerry said - MORE OF THE SAME!!! You know who the blame falls on? Middle America (you know who you are) voting on their bullshit values and not thinking with their noggins. The result? Well now, the rest of the world is far more interested in the success of the Euro, rather than the support of the dolla (holla!!).

I live in the states... I'm a web / print monkey... and I make lots of money.

Fool, I aint talking about chump change. I'm talking about MILLIONS - and your trust fund don't count.
- abizzyman0
who's trustfund?
making millions is a waste of time in america... the millionaires and above handle 60% of all the taxes paid.
Keep me in the lower bracket so I can buy what I need... and some of the things I desire - and I'm happy.
btw, cyberthug - how much did your jeans cost... or your shoes? :)

I'm talkin' MTV cribs, two BM's, College tuition for 3, and a gang of cash left over.THINKABOUTIT.
- abizzyman0
stop watching MTV... that's your first problem...
2nd... if you want more money... get off your ass and make it and stop bitching.

baseball players and meteorologists. only 30% of the time they're right, and everyone thinks they're heroes.
- cyberthug0
Ha ha, it's all in good fun, tho. Oh, you noticed the designer jeans did you? Ha ha, yeah, I can't resist. But you know, I've never heard a millionaire complain that they wish they made LESS money. I feel you tho...

Good point Bizzy. I guess I need to stop blaming Bush for all of my problems and move to AZ where I could live like a king on what I make in Hollywood.

sounds like you're doing ok for yourself by the looks of your website... even though the design is looking a wee bit dated
- cyberthug0
Yeah, for a web designer, I'm doin' aight, but I'm thinking BIG money, youwhutimean? Damn, you didn't have to diss my site, that's cold blooded.

- cyberthug0
thanks pope. yeah, that's what I'm thinking - I'm in the wrong bizznatch. Fame isn't important, really.... HA! I got you!
- abizzyman0
are you dissing my state now?
:)
get into real estate... you'll make money.
... and leave Hollywood - no sense paying out the ass for a 200 sq. ft. apartment that you can barely stretch out in.
- cyberthug0
No I would never diss the state that fought to kill MLK Jr. Day.
;) I'm sure that doesn't represent all the peeps, and I must say, alot of good skaters come from there. Real Estate! Now we're getting somewhere, me likes that idea. What about Private Investigation? Seriously. I'm a big fan of Philp Marlowe and books like "The Long Kiss Goodbye." I actually used to live in the Asbury, which is where Marlowe lived in the book, if I remember correctly.

LA real estate is a surething money maker.. invest in one of those new loft spaces downtown... 10yrs from now you'll be sittin pretty
- abizzyman0
hmmm... don't know much about becoming a P.I. - other than the fact that my old boss just got busted by one.
His soon to be ex-wife took pictures of him taking pictures of the cleaning-lady... NAKED! I'm sure the 'soon-to-be' paid dearly for those images. :)
As far as real estate goes - there are two ways I know that people have literally raked in the cash (and I'm in a possible situation like one of them w/my father right now)...
1.) the 'this-old-house' routine of buying the garbage as an investment home via a bank... and fixing it up and selling it.
2.) Find an Investor w/funds specific for either new development of a 'good idea' or is in the market to redevelop.
For number 2 to occur - you need to have a good idea. :) My Pop's is near complete w/some big deal going down in Ireland that involves funding the Irish Gov. w/a number of housing projects via a private investor. Of course, I guess you need to know people to make this work.
