Need ideas for what to tell people my occupation is?

No man the whale boats go out for too long for me to take care of my plants. Dolphins on the other hand.

I still say writing autobiographies is the best front. It gives you a reason for being home all day. You can avoid sharing details by saying the publisher had you sign a non-disclosure agreement and if you reveal anything they take their fees paid back and sue for more. Also you're not too likely to run into someone that actually does write autobiographies for a living. But even if you did they would have actually had to sign the non-disclosure agreement.

You could have just stopped at the first four words... I know I'm going to look back on this thread and laugh my ass off!

PS I never thought I'd ask this but how does one ball?

 

[bipotato]

how does one ball?

Not very carefully, obviously.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

And one would know one has achieved balling status when....?

 

[mean mr.mustard]

I suppose what I'm getting at is does the ball have to ball or can it just be ballin as a ball without having to actually ball?

 

[bipotato]

I think the term comes from the flashy and spendy behavior of "ball players", or wealthy professional athletes.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

I see. Thank you for your grasp on convention. This has been a pleasant educational interaction.

Not what I was going for.... but hell it's still pretty funny!

look at all the old people trying to bash a young guy that's trying to ball

 

[BreakingBad]

In the streets, as long as you have a nice car with rims you are "ballin", so-to-speak

In reality, if you own a $500,000 home, have multiple cars (possibly exotic) and have funds to last you decades...that is truly a baller. There are some give and takes, but it depends on what perspective you are looking at it from

I plan on making $ off our lovely plant and here's my baller priority list:

- pay off debts
- buy new car
- save for new house & property

hopefully i can make enough in 2-4 years to have all of that, paid off.

UNLESS

the dollar falls, globalization occurs, or we accept a new currency.

why tell him to go to school and get a degree if he has the chance to become a felon and then it wont matter

 

[Backward_Z]

Computer consultant/programmer is a good one. I use the programmer one often because it explains how I work from home and also because the product of labor is pretty intangible. I wouldn't want to tell someone I make say, pottery and then have them ask to see some samples of my work. The more esoteric your position, the better. You're not just a programmer, you program in some obscure scripting language that's only useful on gear made by one or two different companies worldwide.

Hogwash. A felony may keep you from being employed at a lot of places, but it won't keep you from being a success. But don't listen to me, I'm just a 2 time felon that's done very well for myself in spite of my convictions.

Well said.



But as for the topic of the thread, you're best off saying you make money of eBay, Craigslist, or something of the like. Buying and reselling goods.... Doesn't take much knowledge, just a good edge with bartering. The last thing you should do is say you're involved with stocks, or any trade that requires years of experience/education. You'll tell the wrong person who actually has experience in your false trade, and will call your bluff.

Poker is a good idea, if you're into that.

And honestly I wouldn't ask a bunch of random folks on the net for advice on a matter like this, but hey that's just me.

 

[]A[Boss]

i didnt say it makes you a failure.. i'm saying whats the point in getting a degree in something if you have a high chance of becoming a felon... therefore no jobs would hire you

put money into a business instead.

 

[chihuahuafarmer]

start buying bars of gold and put them in a saftey deposit box at the bank, get a job that you work at least 2 days a week, start living more modest/simple, if your car is new or has rims, sell that shit and buy a older model or put the stock ones back on.

you never seen that dave chapelle stand up saying how he wears and mask and drives a dump truck to go on dates. and if she dont like him he'll pull off the mask and be like IM RICH BITCH

if you live in a state like FL, drive a humvee with rims, got a house, wearing gold chains around your neck, and got no job is the key part, the cops fucking envy and hate you cause their not you,

getting a actual job is you best bet

cover job and a modest lifestyle seems to be the best way
right now you're a cops wetdream(sorry)

 

[Sandnut]

Do like me, make a happy family, buy a house, start a grow op in your basement and split the work for your basement garden with your wife and kids. That way you can actually get a real job. Noone will ever know that you "Ball" out.

For real?? ur like the father in the "Growing op" movie

 

[mdk ktm]

hahahahah because playing golf and banging strippers makes you a success?

and if you cant think of something as simple as a job, you have probably made other mistakes that require more thought.

 

[cateros]

long story short, things are working out in the game, but people are starting to wonder how such a knucklehead like myself is balling so i need to think of what to tell my family/friends that i do for a living that lets me sleep in and play golf 5 days a week.

what do you all that dont work tell people you do? I have no education and barely graduated high school. Ideas?

Uhmm why not find some legal medical cannabis patients and become there caregiver there is good money in it big time and its perfectly respectable to grow pot legaly to supply sick people and considering up here in canada a designated grower can now supply for up to 3 patients and given the average patient is allowed 5 grams per day for 3 patients that works out to $450 per week, but there are many patients who are purchasing $500+ of meds per week so find 3 patients with a heavy supply need and you can be a legit pot grower who only does it for the extra money and to help the sick who need it.
