I’m getting to the point where most people have a career in mind. I’ve looked at jobs that pay tons of money, I’ve looked at jobs that pay less but are more enjoyable, I’ve looked at government jobs, military, etc. I don’t have passions for any of them. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a soulless dude who hates everything. I have things I enjoy, but I think making them into a career would be more painful than choosing a career I have no interest in. I was looking at dentistry, but the majority of people saying you need more than the motivation of money to become a dentist, and to generally not go into healthcare unless you’re passionate about it, so I think I’m shifting away from it. All I really want right now is to make money. The way I see it, the more money you make, the earlier you can retire, the earlier you retire the more time you have to pick up those things you enjoy again. Dentistry for example: you make insane money, but it’s stressful work with one of the highest suicide rates out of all professions. Is the money enough to keep you going through the years of schooling, debt, and stress? Most likely not. Has anyone else felt this way? Sort of adrift with no real plan besides a vague idea? On that note, people who have taken gap year(s) to travel, would you recommend it?

Let me start off by saying im still in highschool. This decision is not looming in front of me. I have been wanting to become a dentist for a year or so now, and im taking all the correct high school courses. Let me be clear - I am in no way interested or passionate about dentistry. I am passionate about getting $300-500k per year. With that being said, I am not the type to get burned out because its hard. But i've been seeing a lot of mixed opinions. my first question is A) how much did the schooling cost? I've seen some of the best schools as high as $600k. My second question is how much do you make? My entire (yes very bad haha) plan is to get rich as hell and retire. I've seen posts saying OP doesnt recommend it, its not fun work, etc. So yea. for those of you that werent interested in it, how did it go? Would you recommend it? will dentists even get paid as much in like 2036?

Thinking about buying some ray ban metas, but I cant decide on the gen 1's or the gen 2's. I can get a pair of the gen 2's for $350, so decently cheap. Battery between the two isnt a huge deal for me because ill probably charge them every night. I was wondering if you guys think I should get the 1's or 2's? Also wondering if you guys think they are going to add live streaming to the 2's? Thanks!

So two things. A) the entire job is cold calling businesses asking if we can put a candy machine in their location. Already a useless and extremely hated job. But you take what you can get. Anyways, I recently got hired, and they set up this meeting to give me my contract and make it official. They want to meet in a McDonald’s. Ok kind of weird but sure, if you don’t have an office or whatever sure. The meeting was scheduled at 11:00. I’m posting this just past 11:45. I messaged at 11:00 saying I was here. At 11:30 they respond saying 10 more minutes. It’s been 15 minutes since that and they haven’t provided an update. At what point do I call it a day and leave? Not to mention, when I did the interview on the phone they said it was a $100 commission per location I get. I have that in writing as well. Within my first two days I land a location. Upon telling them they say because it’s a smaller location they are only giving $50 commission. They haven’t even seen the location yet. Smh I’ve been hired for a week and already hate this bullshit job. When do I call jt quits on this interview and just go home.

So I don’t actually have the machine yet, but I can at any time. I am talking and confirming a location first. One thing I wanted to know was what should I do. I am putting it in a high traffic thrift store that is mainly middle aged people, but a good amount of people with family’s and children come in. The candy machine (sorry if this is the wrong sub to do it in as it isn’t a vending machine), has two heads for different things. My options are candy, gumballs, and one inch toy capsules. If any of you have had experience with these and know which’s ones tend to move best, please let me know! Currently the machine has $0.25 on both slots, but it can be changed to $1. What’s the correct option to charge people? I think it would be $1 for the toys but would you guys do $0.25 or $1 for a gumball or hand full of candy? Thanks!

Hello!

Im looking to start getting into vending machines! I have ideas for places but I havent reached out to ask anyone for 1 main reason. I dont have a vending machine! The places I was thinking would be A) My local gym, B) A extremely high traffic thrift store I work at, and C) A hockey rink or sports stadium somewhere. Each of these locations has problems though. the gym already has a cafe, the thrift store is right beside a safeway and dollarama, and the hockey rinks and stadiums already have machines. Just prelim ideas but any other thoughts on good locations would be MUCH appreciated! and then onto my second problem. I have no clue what machine to get! I would prefer cash (bills and coins) and card reader. Hopefully it would have drinks and snacks. I would prefer it look modern as opposed to old and musty haha. my budget is unfortunately only $700-1000 CAD. because of my lowish budget im willing to compromise on some of my wishes. if anyone knows any good machines to buy or good locations in general I would have a lot of gratitude!

So I’ve got an iPod touch 6th gen and 4th gen. I primarily use the 6th gen for music and stuff. I’ve heard a lot about jailbreaking and that type of stuff but I never really knew what it was about and what it did. So yea I guess my question is what is it and what does it do?

hey yall! so essentially I've been playing for around 8 months on a used squier affinity strat. It's served me well but i've been looking to upgrade. just wanted to know your guys opinions on good guitars! This would be my second electric guitar, and ive been looking at a used PRS SE custom 24, charvel pro mod DK24, and then a fender strat. id be getting them off of marketplace, so not new. the budget would ideally be around $500-1,500 (CAD). I know I could probably use google, but I just thought id ask some people who may have been in this situation, or have used/still have these guitars and if you like them and if they are worth the money to buy new or used. or any other brands/models that where outstanding! and then my last question was how can I tell if im ready for an upgrade? I've never played anything better than my squier so I dont know what a higher quality guitar would feel like and how the change would be. Was there any techniques or songs I should know or be able to play before upgrading, a certain skill level to be at, or do you just feel when your ready? I've heard this might sway a decision, but my amp right now is a boss katana Mk50. thanks in advance! if you guys have any questions I'll do my best to answer them! preciate it!

EDIT: Thanks for all the advice from everyone! It really helped and I think I have a better idea of what I’m going to do!

My iPod touch 6th gen battery has been acting up. Last night it was at 78%, and now at 5:30pm it was down to 20% without me using it at all. After charging for around five minutes it was back up to 56%, and two minutes later up to 80%. Is the battery decayed, or the reader faulty, and is this fixable? Thanks in advance!

I cant upload a photo at the moment, but basically I just bought an ipod touch gen 4. when I restarted it, it wouldnt let me finish the activation due to the activating servers not being reachable. I tried plugging it into my computer but nothing popped up.
