casino dealer


Less and less casinos are training people in-house and instead requiring people to get paid training themselves, which can be anywhere from 4 weeks to 4 months depending on how many games/such you train in. And then they also often require customer relations training courses on top of that, which can be another several weeks. So while it's certainly not a college degree, it's still going to take several months of training, potentially out of pocket, especially if you want to make good money.

ah okay I guess that's fair. I had 8 weeks of in house training, unpaid, to get myself started but that was still an investment.

Any sort of tech job, the more technical the easier it is to get a job with just a portfolio. But businessy kind of jobs are doable too.

Get a job at Amazon, don't be a lazy pos, get promoted to Process Assistant (around $18-20 per hour), work 2 years, get promoted to Area Manager (55k a year) then keep going up the ranks until you are a GM (six figures depending on post)

I've met two GMs without college degrees so I know it's possible, but it's VERY difficult and might take like a decade or so and a ton of hard work and networking

If you have the personality for it, apparently being a real estate/nyc apartment broker can pay pretty well

At least, according to my friend. He needed about a month of training

I imagine a number of commission based sales roles can fit

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
