This is why I don't look down on drug dealers like most people do


Its better than doing this sh1t

not really. they probably make less than a fast food worker does just standing on the corner. plus they don't get benefits or free food like said fast food worker. not to mention, u ain't gonna get shot or go to jail workin the grill like u would on the corner.

no, dumb nikkas stay talking about shyt they dont know about.
Every cat sellin work aint making that much money. These cats are employees just like Calvin. Just cuz someone flashes you reup money doesnt mean he's taking that home.
Its already been proved the avg drug dealer aint making all that much money.


And people who keep making excuses for the Calvin types need to stop. Its his own dam fault he still working there and making minimum wage...all this time, and he hasnt tried to gain any skills? You dont have to go to school to gain skills either.

Ill post this link again cuz it was slept on...there are a million ways to make money...you just have to be ready to work, and not have thousands of excuses.

This cat pulled in crazy bank just off of hustling Craigslist.

nikka stfu how has it been proven:why:

Have you ever sold before?

If the answer is no then stop talking about it because you dont know what you talking about homie.

In texas minimum wage full time is only like 15Gs a year, thats before taxes.

All a nikka need is one pound of some good and you already made 5 figs. Sure some of that money goes to yo re up, but you keeping a large bundle of it, and that shyt sells fast as hell.

Aint no way the average nikka sellin some good making less than 15Gs a year :russ:

yall clearly have no idea how retail/fast food works. there are tons of people who have worked these jobs for 15+ years and still haven't hit a salaried position (altho some don't want to and/or don't have the work ethic to), it's both a numbers and politics games. like i said, i just got done working closely with retail workers for the past 5 months, there aren't enough spots to move everyone up, especially when you count lateral hires and in the case of fast food, managers who oversee multiple shops.

i didn't read the whole thing, so i don't know what else was going on in his life, but it's not that simple. and when you're in that position, what you gonna do? quit and go get the same bullshyt pay at another company doing the same thing? ok

I don't get the concept of paying someone $15 to do a menial job. These jobs aren't meant to be long term/ made into careers. They are supposed to be stepping stones. You get your foot in the door, gain some skills and move on. I'm sorry but I can't feel bad for him.
WORD!!!!! Fast food joints should be a place where you work, whilst tryna find a better job.
It isn't that simple. It's mathematically impossible for everyone to just "move on" from working a low-wage job, meaning someone has to work these types of jobs. Not everyone has the opportunity to go to college and find a better-paying career. Hell, even people who do earn college degrees are struggling right now.

Plus, most people I see working fast-food jobs are older women who probably have families to feed. You think they're working there out of laziness? Most fast-food and retail jobs are physically taxing and the work is stressful. Why would someone supporting a family work there if they could just move on? Not everyone has options. These jobs aren't supposed to be long-term careers, but some people really have no choice.

Not to mention, according to Forbes, McDonald's brought in about $27 billion in revenue last year. They can afford to at least pay their low-level workers a livable wage. Of course their greed would get in the way of that. These corporations/CEOs are running people into the ground and paying them embarrassingly low wages, all while trying to convince us that they can't afford to pay higher salaries.

It's easy to say people should just leave and find better jobs, but we are still in a recession, brehs. Sometimes you have to take what you can get.

Stop trying to educate these fools. They don't have any idea how the system they :bow: works.

"Well gosh, if he just pulled him up by the bootstraps he'd be swimming in money."

That's just now how this system works, idiots. If everyone's a chief, where are the Indians?

nikka you dumb as hell. the question is have you been on the streets? You quick to say some dumb shyt. I was out there for a long time.
you sound young and dumb. I never did sour hour but cats that I knew who did that never was "the man." I was on the browns and the calrissa explains it all. I had to grind to get right and the sht took a long time. what people fail to realize is just cuz you have work dont mean it sell itself ( if your smart about it) I never sold to feind i didnt know, i had to build a client base ( took damn near 6 months), I took shorts, got played, lost work, help my mans out, got bad work etc. after all the dumb shyt, I probably made 20k a year but it wasnt worth it because I had to deal with the " hood politics" that come with it. everbody that hustle doesnt live the life that ross portray, the shyt is hard work. constant setbacks, haters, police, etc shyt was a everyday struggle. stay in school lil nikka, that life is not for you
