Good luck buddy!

There aren't really "programming degrees" except those offered by for profit/shady "schools" and IT degrees are generally not related to programming. Individuals who work as programmers/software developers will most commonly have a computer science/software engineering degree (from an ABET accredited program).

Fuck it my nigga, I respect your hustle. Everybody gots to start somewhere, and your path is god damn honorable compared to these other dick nuggets around here who try/succeed to scam niggas out of some start up cash. Flip them mutha fuckin burgers with a passion, invest in your dream and one day you can dance along with Drake to this:



:thumbsup

How has anyone not suggested this might be an April's Fool prank?!?!

That ain't mikesinner's style. This kinda is.

Congrats i guess !

exactly, not to mention the fact he brings his bs to a thread that is FULL of honesty and inspiring humility otherwise. It's shameful really.

Mike, everyone here wishes you the best and if you need some guidance with anything you got running sites wise always feel free to hit me up.

How would you monetize one of the mainstream blogs you mention above?

Same way as adult, look for relevant sponsors, target your traffic to products they sell collect emails if you can. Small targeted email lists on profitable topics.. are gold.

A blog on how to clean a deep fryer, and affiliate links to the products used to do that will make you a fuck load more than any porn blog, porn now is about getting as much traffic as you can, throw shit at walls and see what sticks.

Also I find people still by books, and Amazon which I convert at 1/7 despite there fucked payouts can make you heaps more than say adsense, simply cos there brand recognition is so awesome.

Find a lil niche, sit on it, become an expert in it. shut the fuck up and make bank.

There is pride in taking whatever honest work you need to take to survive. Congrats and don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

Thanks ... I've been thinking about doing just that but man ... need more time :)

Mikesinner, I'd probably just throw out what you used to do and start on some things which are completely new. See what works and go with it. It's just not the same as the old days in the industry. You have to do things different. Sometimes what seems ridiculous actually works very well I've found.

:2 cents::2 cents:

furthermore, so much time wasted at these jobs..

how long till your stable?

Agreed, rinse and repeat isn't always the best way, we have to allocate some of her time to exploring and trying out new methods/traffic/sponsors :2 cents:

Great that everyone's supportive of Mike's initiative here.

Kudos to ya', Mike. A job's a job...gotta make ends meet and pay the bills.



Always remember - according to the hypocritical GFY rocket scientists - it could be worse.

You could be a meter maid. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Probiotics perhaps?

He's one of the more realistic and entertaining GFY-Bots, credit where it's due :thumbsup

I'm going to be working 3rd shift with a closed dining room so maybe it will be pretty laid back.

He is not a bot.

He is now!

Just worked an 8 hour shift and was told I could not have a break. The night manager fucked something up and my hours didn't show up when I punched out.

My back was hurting so bad I almost fell out on my shift.


I talked to the manager after my shift and told her I would work the hours she had scheduled through the week but that I wanted only 3 days a week from then on and she freaked out.

Everyone that works there hates it and says they only took the job because no one was hiring.

I guess I will just work my 3 days a week and keep looking for something else.

I hope it all works out for you :)

what state are you in? breaks are required by law. ill point you into getting his/her ass straightened out. pm me :)

Indiana

I think the manager was implying that she would give us breaks but didn't want to. I could have demanded a break but didn't.

We also don't get 10 minute paid breaks every 3 hours like they do in Kentucky.

You've only been working there how long and you're already complaining?

Most people that are down and out are there for a reason. They always have an excuse.

Fucking pussy. This world is falling apart. Welcome to the future... A nation ran by pathetic pussies who can't work 8 hrs to support their families without whining and complaining.

Wow.

Just .... wow.

Pretty obvious why you can't make money online. It actually takes a lot of hard work, long hours and is frustrating. You can't even wash lettuce for 8 hrs.

good idea. mcdonalds is a slum. in fact all fast food jobs are the worst value relative to work. If your gonna make under 10 bucks an hour work at a mall. half the time you'll just stand around & you get out by 10pm most months.

best job for a low wage is lifeguarding. get paid to look at bikinis all day long.

you are such an enigma. you have very bright & inciteful comments on some matters. then you pull out this garbage.

his comments about not getting breaks has merit. If IN has a law requiring breaks he should get them. That more true when he is new & his body is not used to standing 8 straight hours. Not everyone is in shape for standing all day if you been couchlocked on unemployment.

& if everyone hates the job, thats because management blows. the things he describes suggest he has shit leadership, so it would be no suprise everyone hates the place.

your problem sounds like you have high expectations that you may meet for yourself but when others dont live like you, you shit on them. you'd be better off keeping your condescending thoughts to yourself.

:2 cents:

Hey Mike,

Just save some cash and try to move to a area that is hiring, do it for a few months and save up to move, if you can, best of luck bro

It's simple. If things are so bad that as a grown man, you need to take a job at a fast food restaurant... then you do what it takes. Period. You don't blame others. You don't complain. You don't bitch and whine. You don't make a move for pity saying your back hurt so bad from wiping mayonnaise on bread that you have to cut your hours in half.


That is pure bullshit. Most people that hate their minimum wage jobs have an attitude that is the reason they have a minimum wage job to begin with. You're not supposed to love it. It's a means to an end. It's a stepping stone.... not a career and I've employed enough people to know that if someone isn't happy and they are complaining, you fire them immediately before their cancerous attitude ruins everyone. Doesn't take too many rounds of that before you have a great crew, doing their jobs and enjoying the people they do it with.

Again... you do what it takes. Period. You don't whine and bitch and moan and complain. It's not about how "i live". Its about the simple fact that you can't move forward in life with a bad attitude and a bad attitude towards hard work and sacrifice or by blaming managers as if somehow a manager is making mopping the bathroom floor and cooking fries unbearable where otherwise, it is perfectly pleasant.

The thing is... hardworking people that do what it takes, that bust their ass, that make every sacrifice and never stop working towards their goals end up supporting those who just whine and complain.... no matter what their income level. It hurts every single person in society.

It tends to happen when one doesn't take bi-polar meds in a timely fashion.

?????????????????????????????????????

Actually I am on the grill which is one of the hardest jobs there. Everything revolves around me. If I don't get the meat up I slow the whole process down. The grill guy also runs the fryer at night and does much of the food prep for the next shift. Pretty much everyone in the back works two positions at night and it's just as busy.

Remember that I have U.C. This means I have chronic fatigue and chronic joint pain in addition to diarrhea. I keep my bathroom runs under control by not eating 6-8 hours before my shift or at any time during my shift. This mean at the end of work I may have gone over 16 hours without anything to eat. On work days all my food must be taken in during a 6 hour period.

I also have noticed that I must be getting deaf because I cannot hear when other crew members are telling me to do things when they are just 10 feet away. It doesn't help when I tell some kid to speak up when asking me something and they still continue to mumble.

Soft female voices are especially hard for me to hear.

Uhm.. yeah. I get it. "One of the hardest jobs" at a fast food restaurant paying minimum wage... where you want to cut your hrs worked back to a few days a week and you have nothing but an endless litany of excuses as to why everything is difficult. Get over yourself and get your fucking life together.

Anyone who has been online for more than a few weeks can create a thread on this forum for webmaster work and writing and have 10 offers that pay better than the $150.00 a week you are going to make after taxes by working 3 days a week... but somehow you want everyone to think you're some sort of martyr and hero, rather than a total retard who is content to work for next to nothing and bitch about it every step of the way,... preying on peoples sympathy for no obvious reason other or benefit and as if there are no other alternatives to earning about what the average outsourced Indian makes for data entry.

At the end of it all... you already made it clear. You are a loser and a failure and you even said yourself, that you work shit jobs like this to "motivate" yourself.

You sound more like a self centered, manipulative sociopath wanting pity from the masses for your failures than a hard working person who is genuinely interested in finding a stable income and financial success.


edit... oh you made another followup post for more pity - Plays for pity from others is actually the only consistent feature of sociopathic behavior amongst sociopaths... So cool, you're now deaf. 101 reasons you can't work a minimum wage job to feed yourself. Nice. I look forward to supporting your children and the many years they will spend in prison at tax payers expense.

I'm all for compassion and support... for those who try and want to try. Shit happens and sometimes people need help and support. I get that.

I am absolutely not for caring about or supporting those who have no interest in trying and who find nothing but excuses.

You are essentially announcing to the world that you just can't figure out as an adult male in the United States of America, who works online,... to make more that 150.00 a week or so.

I hope for everyones sake that you are sterile.

Actually what you've posted here more accurately represents a sociopathic personality.
