Is youtube down?

Everyone goes to Zumiez

@Deleted User you should introduce the business owner to Amazon FBA and Faceboom marketing. Charge them $1,000+ per month to run that side of the business, maybe a percentage of the ownership as well.

@machtyn nope

the whole skate apparel and equipment industry has little or no margin....so if you do have a shop....you have gotta have a location, a good rep (someone quasi famous running it) or be Zumnis or a Vans shop. The indy shops are dying fast

I am getting a 500 on my phone and desktop but I am on 2 separate connections.

Seems to be down for me.

Wait really?

@machtynnvm it is down

The reckoning is upon us.

The feminists got to them

They are getting backstabbed

so anyway......stoner skater shop owner is "mad" at me calling me "corporate" for telling him the truth.....I said "at this rate you're going to be broke in about six months"

Maybe they traced all MGTOW IPs and blocked them.

Hopefully not

@Deleted User people hate hearing bad news, especially when they were anticipating it.

Yeah truth hurts

@Deleted User Let them. You got paid for an audit. You did it. Now it's their problem unless they want your help.

I've never actually seen a 500 on youtube before.. this isn't cool.

My intial price was 2,000.00 to put his books in line, call the creditors, buy some time......he's now "refusing" to pay me because I didn't fix the problem. This is also why his shop is going under. He has zero business, running a business

So you're trying to do what exactly of you don't mind telling me?

so I DO have a signed contracty, I'll give him 30 days........he doesn't pay up, will begin the process of going to court

You should be having people pay you up front.

I was a skater when he wasn't even a twinklw in his daddy's pants

Daddy's boy I see

They can order your services from your website with a PayPal order.

Most business's don't run like that. You pay partial, or they contract, and after the service is rendered, they pay when you invoice them

@Deleted User Hit him with the lawsuit if he doesn't pay for services rendered.

I had to have an oeverview as well, because my fees are different for every situation, I just don't have A plan, B plan or C plan

Some of my folks do pay right when I finish, most say "can you send me the bill?"

Most pay within 30 days

How many hours of work for 2k?

ANyway....I don't like being yelled at by a punk 30 year old whiner. Entitled jerk. I of course, being the "adult" had to sit there and listen to him

About 5

hours

Damn son, that's a nice hourly rate.

Not bad

$400/hr is "not bad?"

I wish I made $400/hr 😄

I'm joking lol

I'm just being that cunt

I'm under $50/hr still 😦

I need to become an accountant apparently.

I'm on 17$ an hour

Welp I literally only have twitch to watch now, lol.

Now, if I am just doing a weekly payroll.......takes me an hour, and IF we have a good working realtionship, and you're giving me steady work every few weeks???? Pay me 50.00.......75.00

Wow, that's amazing.

Did you move out of IT because accounting is way better pay?

No. I wanted steady work

Do you have to deal with people bitching and not wanting to pay full price often?

someone has ALWAYS got to count the money ALWAYS

sometimes. I don't work for a firm or company, I'm freelance....so I do get that a bit more

What does the future look like with software solutions ramping up?

@Deleted User Wait. You didn't have steady work in IT? It's a normal boring 9-5 whereas you're making bank as an accountant. Now are you CPA or have any specific licenses?

I am CPA

I won't hate that shit

@MufflePuff For accounting?

Yeah

@Deleted User Ah! That is why you can command $400+/hr

Now.....when I was at IBM, I was pulling about 90K a year right before I retired

@MufflePuff Honestly, I think software can automate most of what @Deleted User does but you'll always WANT a human to double check it. You disagree @Deleted User?

@Deleted User Yeah, that sounds about right in tech.

I'll be getting 90k in 1-2 years.

Seems like if it's a small business they can use software, but if the business is large, they'd have in-house accountants.

But accounting would be 150+k with your rate 😄

@MufflePuff Yeah, it depends really.

People still don't want a machine to handle THEIR money when it comes to the books....sure, some basic debit and credit.....but when it comes time to "account" and see where its going and how, and rolling monthly....you will still need a person at this point and into the forseable future

In 1989, I was making 28K when I started, and that was an okay wage

at IBM

@Deleted User That's interesting. So from what you've seen, the software can replace what % of what you do? Not accounting for human emotion but just actual ability to do it?

@Deleted User I'd say 65-70k is an OK wage now but I WANT MOAR.

It's coming, and in the future there won't be a need for as many accountants.......but there will still have to be someone who "counts the money" and balances the books

Yeah, totally agree. Same with HR and other human facing/sensitive tasks.

I'll be rtired at that point

HR is a cancer on any company

Yeah....true that Rhune

Seems to me that accountants will be like many trades. Automation will take over, but the average business will not trust the robots completely for many years. They'll be phased in completely within like 100 years.

Someone will still have to know HOW the computer programming WORKS for accounting, or fast changing state / fed regulations

Youtube is down on my end

anyone else?

Same with IT, engineering. Maybe one person on-site to run the robots.

not as many will be needed, and of course....the pay will go down

A lot of fields will see a great deal of automation, but never full automation

That's asinine and improper future thinking

@niquill Yeah it's down.

But not for a looong time. Depending on the business. Most wont be able to afford it. The robot solutions will take years to be cheap enough for all businesses to get it, like all tech is when it's launched.

Anyway, I have a business, am a one man shop......and go by REFERRAL only

@MufflePuff I disagree 100% on the engineering.

Yes, actual technicians... it will be reduced workforce but engineering/science/mathematics/etc will never be replaced.

I think engineering will definitely be hit hard, but not for a long time.

You need people correcting the algos running the world at that point.

The chief engineer will be human, the plebes will be a robot workforce.

I don't think any one profession will be hit less than engineering honestly.

Harder, better, faster, stronger.

Name of my sex tape.

well, AI could teach math in a HS.....math is used in accounting.......a lot of it........and computers do a lot of my work

I think engineering will be last to get hit.

Agreed.

Construction too.
