Couldn't you find a nikka working the midnight shift at the Costco warehouse or something? These are some nice upper (real upper) middle class jobs


I do want to know what happens to all the nikkas that end up broke, I'm sure they make an ok life for themselves afterwards and at the end of the day they got to live the lifestyle for a couple of years

So a Business Development Rep and Telemarketing team lead are real upper class jobs? :wtf: I did Business Development when I was 21 straight out of college. :wtf: I agree with Craig AND Detlef though.

Y'all doing too much, I definitely understood TS meant these dudes have regular "business" jobs, not that they're working shytty 9-5's. You always think dudes would either be in sports, media, or some other sexy job afterward when most of them are in the same day to day corporate grind as the average person

Investing, running foundations, motivational speaking. :ld:
a few of those that you linked state that they are doing some of those things.

I think it said Alex Brown was working for CSN Chicago. Not that many people can do TV or media work, tbh.

I just dont know what dude expected them to be doing.

It depends on what you invest in.

Also, sometimes people wanna work just to work, knowing that they have income coming in from somewhere. Nothing wrong with that.

Even if someone makes 9 figures, that person's gonna wake up one day bored as fukk. Sure that person has more options as to how to kill time, but if you live a regimented lifestyle and are used to it, it's hard to break from that.

Hell, people take jobs straight outta retirement to broadcasting because that boredom is something you wanna avoid.

I cannot imagine going to a business meeting and seeing Detlef Schrempf.

I imagine I would react as follows: :wtf: :ehh: :bow: :birdman:

Yeah that's true but I don't know if I would work in corporate america if I really didn't have too. I hate having a boss and would want to be out there on my own. A lot of these athletes start their own companies and that's prolly what I would do if I could.

most jobs period are 9 to 5, actually most of the high stress ones that pay a boatload are more like 8 to 7.

its just that 9 to 5 is a term to describe a regular joe job

Im not sure what exactly you expected....to sit on their ass and not work 8 hours a day ? thats unemployment or not doing anything.

or did you expect them to have some crazy kind of job where they fukk bytches and drink henny all day long ?

I definitely wonder this, but for actual guys not working that business half-cushy job stuff.

I wanted to see the guys that made enough to last 10 years, not 50.

People you wouldn't even think about searching.

Naw, but to own their own company, investing, speaking, camps, etc. These are guys who made millions of dollars and were popular, not the practice squad player who lasted 3 seasons. But that's just me. :manny: I hate working for someone.

Dog, you trippin, these dudes probably got a lot of different outside investments like most people I know. You sounded like a the typical coli poster right now. Most of these folks in executive position. They might be working for others but their stress level isn't going to be as high as middle management.
