Affiliate marketers and school

For you guys in school - Do you plan to work for others in the future? Why not use "am" as leverage for entrepreneurship? Whats your reason for job training? Job security? Something stable?

I don't have a problem with anyone going that route, I just find peoples answers interesting.

You make it sound so bad. I enjoy scientific research, but I'm using this as my chance to get good with AM as side income, or maybe one day to do the whole quit my day job thing. I also like having health insurance, and research labs usually have awesome benefits.
 


I'm 4 classes away from a BS in Accounting. I'm taking two of them now over the summer. One is online.

I hated high school. I used to literally sleep all day, never do homework, and ace the tests. Ended up with a 2.3. After high school I went to CC and worked in an office doing random bullshit. Then I got another office job working for some overbearing douche bag who only wants people to do as he says- and I've been working and going to school at night ever since. Transferred to 4 year school and I'm almost done.

I don't even know if I want to do accounting. I'll finish my BS but I don't know if I'll do grad school and get the credits I'd need to be a CPA. I've had enough office culture and I know that it's not something I want to do. But I've been living on my own 100% financially independent since I was 19 years old, and I don't really know what else to do to pay bills.

I have always wanted to own/operate my own business. Hopefully this IM stuff works out. One of the beautiful things is the low barrier to entry.
 
I'm racking up money from IM while i still can. Will go back to school this summer or next next semester.

IM is great, but education can't be valued with money. I don't go to school just to work under other people.
 
So do you wish you hadn't gone? The problem with this kind of question using WF members as a control group is that there seems to be a false dichotomy in many people's head of "entrepreneurship" vs. "school".

No I'm still glad I had my college years. Because even though they didn't teach me things I finally ended up doing (this business / marketing, etc.) it still gave me good experience in working methodically, collaborating with others to achieve project goals, etc. And of course - college days were also a lot of fun when you're not in class..... ;)

Of course I know I am talking to a Norwegian so your friends who have sambos probably don't get that logic (is sambo a norwegian word, eller??)

Lol yeah the word is "samboer" and means, as knukk pointed out, a person who is a live-in boyfriend/girlfriend. Unmarried people living together in a relationship. Dunno if the word stems from Norway or Denmark originally.

Steps to success:

1. Become CPA
2. Consult specifically for affiliate marketers
3. ???
4. Profit. (Oh..and run your own campaigns)

See where I'm going here
 
made the most of it and took extra classes completely unrelated to my degree ... partied my ass off and still managed 18-21 credit hours *shrug*

I got my work ethic from my father .. school didn't really do much.
 
1. Look at syllabus.
2. Determine what % of what you have to complete. IE: Tests worth 60%, HW/Attendance worth 20%, Project worth 20%
3. Do 70% and talk to the Prof.

easy 80

if its only tests its an easy A, if its subjective... mostly essays easy C+ or B

Edit: Talking to the Prof. makes them remember you. More likely to bump your grade a notch

except the one professor who put it in the syllabus any students attempting to brown nose me will automatically receive a 5pt reduction in their grade

... I found it funny.
