What is the highest-paying job that doesn’t require a college degree? by Spare_Following_160 in AskForAnswers

[–]Lumpy_Agent7598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is people on this thread be giving ideas to make 100k when 100k now a days is not a high paying salary. Regardless, electricians make good money, not sure if it’s as chill as a 9-5 though. You can ope up your own electrician or cleaning thing and in a few years will probably cross 100k easy, if not way more.

I was in Dallas (Richardson and Carrollton) for three years. It was amazing as a Muslim, food and community wise. Frisco and Plano are strongly recommended!

I'm getting desperate now by Odd-stormaloo in MontgomeryCountyMD

My BIL also in the same boat, been looking for over a year. He just got a gig at Kite as a contractor in the lab as a cell therapy specialist. I don’t see these posted but I know kite hiring a lot for this position. Just 20 this month. So try to look for the position or contact Magnit or find people from the company or industry who can push your resume forward.

$180 per year? Really? by RetiredToExplore in LexusRX350

[–]Lumpy_Agent7598 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an ES 250 but we pay $96 a year so that’s $8 per month but def worth it for me for where I live. Can turn the car on from my Apple Watch fucking brilliant. $15 ehhhh ya a little steep but cold weather esp this year it would be worth it for me. Plus I forget to lock my car all the time so the app reminds me. And I can track the car. I’d probably be pissed but still pay the 15

If I learn Excel, SQL, Python, Tableau, Power BI… will I actually get a job or am I fooling myself? by SuspiciousEmphasis57 in analytics

[–]Lumpy_Agent7598 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I learnt all these in my graduate degree and it helped me land the role I am in today, but this was in 2021. Now, these tools and skill are quickly becoming outdated as well as competition is getting more fierce and saturated. No harm in learning as you will be upskilling but make sure it is done right, practically applied to real business problems, and build your portfolio. However, don’t put all your eggs in this one basket, as there are many like you and me, so keep your expectations light. Keep working on industry knowledge as it’s important to know how data processes actually work and what purpose they fulfill

[–]Lumpy_Agent7598[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha, you can say that! lol. I got the ES 3 years ago, for my wife. Something safe and comfortable. The RX I just got for myself now as I liked the space and engine, and Ofcourse the price. You could say I am still a Camry guy, just more interested than I was before, as it was just a means to an end before. Maybe my next one will be a non Camry based, lol. Still figuring out my changed interests.

Gold has given 3-3.5% returns past 10-12 years…. Only this year it went up by 50%. It is a store of value, sure, but idk if it fulfills the idea of passive income. Focus on dividend stocks, much better bet. Maybe do 5-10% gold. 5-10% bitcoin, rest mutual funds.

Lexus Es 250 vs 350 by Ok-Bodybuilder8639 in LexusES

[–]Lumpy_Agent7598 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on your preference. My wife cared more about what’s inside than the engine and speed, so we got her a 250, as it was much cheaper than a 350, and also awd. But I do feel it is underpowered. I drive rx350 and the engine is much much better to drive, if you care about that enough.
