3. You know very little about the value of linguists if you are trying to say I'm worthless. There's a reason I get a dozen 6 figure job offers the day after I post my resume.
4. Chinese is one of the most if not the most valuable language right now
5. It's extremely unlikely you could ever learn Chinese as well as I have
6. I speak the truth

A six figure salary does not a Bill Gates make, now does it? We hire entry level folks at six after bonus. You're a piker who thinks he's a great big fish.
I will give one concession: fluency in Mandarin has real value for people involved in business around PRC, although the "lingua franca" remains English if you're representing a US concern.

You should be careful. That might happen to you. You know ex-military make up a huge percentage of the homeless population.

I have dozens of job offers from dozens of companies saved in my mail for 6 figure starting base pay. There's a reason I'm not working one of those positions now. The pay:work ratio is too low. I'm not going to kill myself doing a job I dislike to make $200k a year.

You are a fucking disgrace. I cannot tell if you are just so oblivious and full of yourself that you cannot sense the sarcasm in his post, or if you just actually take joy out of the fact that there are homeless and impoverished people in our country. Moreover, the fact that fromer military veterans make up a large portion of the homeless population is something this country should feel absolutely ashamed of, and it isn't something to use as a rip against someone who has served our country to protect the freedom that allows you to come on the internet and spout off about how fucking fanatstic and valuable your life is.

There's at least half a dozen ways to say Chinese in Chinese.

No, that just reinforces my claim about the type of people that serve in the military.

dozens! Oh my! Usually the "offer letters" don't go out until someone has interviewed and been given a verbal offer, accepted basic terms and the like. This is true for MBA, PhD and undergraduate level openings in industries ranging from Management Consulting to Corporate Finance to Private Equity to Venture Capital to Media. I think it's likely you're lying again. The reason for all of this? Because beyond your skillset and credentials, you need to be able to get along with people and work on a team.
Anyway...fuck Blackstone or Goldman right? You're the big time entrepreneur kicking it on Sherdog. Specie flies out of your ass like diarrhea.
