I have never described myself as a genius. But, just so you know, I worked at McDonald's for 2+ years and never messed up someone's order.
They only let you mop the floor.

You don't need a BS in Computer Science. It's not difficult to bullsh!t some idiot mid-level exec into paying out the wazoo for a whole bunch of meaningless and trivial computer training to low level employees. It's more about being a good salesman than anything else.
Either the execs are clueless and willing to pay a lot of money to the person who can drop a lot of buzz words or they already know how to get it done themselves.
There’s a McDonald’s in Moscow right near the proposed trump tower that he denies he was still developing while running for president. Trumpers will still be able to get jobs there, paid in their beloved rubles.

Ha! You know nothing.
https://www1.salary.com/Technical-Writing-Manager-Salary.html - Technical Writing Manager - $89,867-117,995
Technical writer median pay - $70,240 (as of 2015!)
PRINT journalists (which is what I was) - $50,640 (in 2012!)
Teacher in Ohio with 20 years experience - $82,000 in most public schools in Ohio
Average salary for a computer instructor is $41.43 per hour, or $82,860 if working 50 weeks a year.
Why would you say something that is so easily researched and disproved?
I know you think those are high salaries, but they really aren't.
Not everyone is a success.

You're an idiot. That's quite relevant (and apparent).

Will they hire Flagpole? I can teach him Russian.

And we are led to believe that despite barely making a living wage through a lifetime of low paying and no paying jobs, coupled with his recent revelation that his wife has only held a full-time job for at max 8 years of her life, he has been able to amass a fortune in the stock market. :)
I (my wife and I) started investing in 1989 when the Dow was at 2,700. She was in graduate school at Stanford, but she received full tuition and a stipend, so basically they paid her to be in that Ph.D. program. This is par for the course for those in a science. My full-time job then was working as a newspaper reporter and food critic during that time. We invested half our salary the first 7 years of our marriage. Student housing on Stanford's campus was cheap. We had one car and no kids. She got all of her college paid for except one year of graduate school getting her second degree, so we didn't have much student loan debt.
When we had our first kid, I was the sole bread winner beginning then and going on for 15 years. During this time we started at 5% investing but quickly got it back up to over 20% of our income as we moved back to Ohio for a lower cost of living and I made more money. We currently invest about 35% of our income (retirement and non-retirement accounts), but we could do more. When she went back to work, we threw money at the house to get it paid off, and then we had two kids in college. We actually don't need to invest at all anymore because we have more than enough for when we retire. We continue to because we don't need the extra now, and we will find fun things to do with even more money later on.
How did we do this? First of all, I was making decent money for Ohio even back in the late 90s. Second of all, we owned used cars and didn't have cable television for years (we now again don't have it because...Netflix). We didn't waste money.
If you take two professional people and invest half their income for the first 7 years of their marriage, that alone brings a decent sum at retirement, but we have done a LOT more than that.
It's not about what you make. It's about what you spend and what you invest.

https://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=164906I especially love this gem of a post.
dfdfsf,
If you take issue with that, then you are obviously insecure about your times which is a clear indication that you would have lost to me anytime anywhere. The fact of the matter is that I was in my prime a better runner than most of you. Sorry if that bugs you, but it's a fact. I'm also a better piano player than probably all of you, but also a worse artist than all of you. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Let's summarize mine:
1) I was a better runner in my prime than the great majority of those who post here.
2) I am a better keyboard (piano) player than all of you - almost assuredly.
3) I am a better writer than just about all of you.
4) I am generally smarter than just about all of you.
5) I can't draw worth a damn and therefore am probably the worst artist here.
Sorry that that bothers you. I'm willing to accept that there are better runner than me - Kevin Sullivan is better. Scott Fry is better (although he did duck me by DQing when I was in my high school prime, but I think I've told that story here before). JEH is a better marathoner than me. You then should be able to accept that there are runners better than you.
One of the problems some of you people have is that you believe me to be arrogant. Flagpole doesn't deal in arrogance. I only deal in what is or what isn't.
My favorite is this one...
1) Overweight? I guess if 5'4" and 137 pounds is overweight, then ok. I could stand to lose 5 pounds maybe, but since I'm more muscular than the average distance runner, I'm not really carying that much fat - now in 2000 when I was 181 pounds, that was a different story.
5'4" 137
This explains a lot.

Trump has certainly been porking down the McDonald’s lately; I can’t understand why trumpers are so critical of their hero’s fave nourishment.
