They invested thousands of dollars in my education and I make less than 3k a year.

Failed to get an interview for GSW production assistant.

Regardless, I was hired by the Warriors, in another role.

Failed to stay employed at HipHopforChange, Whole Foods, US Census, and Nordstrom.

I quit HipHopforChange for my mental health.

I quit Whole Foods because I wanted to #StayHome, flatten the curve, and slow the spread.

I quit the US Census because it’s not important to me.

I quit computer technologies training.

I quit Nordstrom because they didn’t want to see me eat.

Failed at selling call options when they were up.

I tried to grow my money, in the quickest way possible. I went for it.

I could have profited, but I held out for a higher gain.

Could have sold here and profited (01/22/2021)
Sold here at a loss (08/30/2021)
Could have sold here and profited (01/07/2021)

Failed at making money every day (work).

I don’t shop for people’s groceries every day.

16 weeks, intensive. I quit this too.

Can I be successful in things I’m disinterested in?

Overwhelmed by terms on powerpoints, falling asleep during it videos

I don’t think I could do this. It’s challenging, overwhelming, boring.

I don’t see the point of it. IT.

I checked out after the quiz. I was DONE.

Sometimes I feel I failed my parents because with all my education (private school + college degree) I make less than 40k a year.
