Travel Vlog - Taking Friends to My Favorite City in Vietnam
People always say: “If you want to be happy, spend your money on experiences rather than material goods.” But experiences are so fleeting, it sometimes feels like I’m throwing my money down the drain. How can I maximize the happiness that I get from my spending?
By abusing the power of the US dollar vacationing in a developing country, of course. 🙃

    • @Lambyyy
      @Lambyyy 11 місяців тому

      1st. Because profitable trading strategies are not just a few lines of code, plus even if that were possible, you would be imprisoned and then sued by the company, as has happened in many cases. See Bloomberg articles on this. 2nd. Many trading companies run HFT strategies - it's just not possible to run these on your own PC. 3rd. You're risking your own capital, and a specific strategy usually is not profitable for such a long time. 4th. Lack of infrastructure. Similar to 2nd point. Overall it's just better to pick stocks for long-term investment in personal accounts.

    Its like saying: How I became a Surgeon or a Civil Engineer without a Degree. Please, lets make a distinction between a Software Developer, and a Software Engineer. A Software Engineer is a protected title in countries like Canada and the US. To become a Software Engineer in Canada, you have to: 1. Earn a 4 year accredited BEng in Software Engineering. 2. Join a Professional Society. 3. Acquire 4 years of supervised experience. 4. Pass a Certification Exam. 4. And finally, be Licensed to practice as a PROFESSIONAL Software Engineer. What this means is that when I make a software update to a critical system, for e.g. a Rail Terminal Management Software System, I Endorse that update with my Official Stamp: So that in case my update screwed up, they come after me and screw me. Thats how serious it is to call yourself a Software Engineer. You are a Programmer(or a Software Developer at the very best).

What u will learn in 4 years from college after spending thousands someone can learn more than that within 1.5 year from online either for free or just a fraction of cost I mean the practical job oriented knowledge. Yes the college will give opportunity to networking and many soft skills . In my country CS grads have to do extra courses before applying for their jobs . There are only few handful of CS related courses they are taught . Like 2 programming languages, DBMS, Networking, OS , Graphic Design, DSA , Etc . And they can't even complete them properly because they have to study 8 subjects per semester. So i think a self taught programer can outweight many CS grads of he is dedicated enough
