Title: What does the community do for a living?
Post by: asqwt on May 12, 2022, 01:55:17 am
Hey y'all

Longtime lurker at SCD, and just wanted to say hello. I noticed there's little to no non-starcraft chat here and I just want to get to know the community a bit.

What do you guys do for a living?

I'm a physical therapist waiting to start my first job in June

Hey that's cool to hear!
I did the first year of Physiotherapy here but I wasn't comfortable sacrificing personal space as much as the job would require.

Work two jobs. Manage my family's small business during the day and deliver pizza at night.

I am also an investor in stocks/R.E and plan to retire in 7 - 8 years. Will give me more time to game once i'm retired :D

Cool man! I've read that it happens to a lot of people. Good thing you didn't pull through. I don't know how much school costs out of america, but in America, you would've been in A LOT of debt with a job you probably won't be happy with.

There are two books I would recommend for starting: Psychology of money (Morgan Housel) and Along for the Ride (Owen Bigland).

The way I learn to invest from my mentor is by being a passive and long term buyer. This is probably the best way for most people so you can enjoy life and focus on your main career. Might take a good 10 hours to learn the basics but after you will be set for life.
