Gyroscopic Investing

Since Harry Browne said our career is the most important generator of wealth, this information is very good to have.  I've often believed that optimizing your career path early in life could mean the difference between working until 70 or retiring before you are 50, all other factors (percentage of income saved) being the same.

Infographic from the article:

I like how mathematician is the number 2 best job.

How did they come up with that?  Not that I disagree, it just seems odd. 

Is that "internet affiliate" for real?  I have always assumed it was a scam.  I clicked on the link in the article and it lead to one of those shady "look at how much money I made in a few hours" websites.  

I may be willing to believe in cold fusion low-energy-nuclear-reactions, but I'm highly sceptical of that "internet affiliate". And if this truly is the best job in the US (posting ads online) then that's a little depressing.  

Also, why doesn't Google, Yahoo!, etc just pay for cheap labour from India or China do it, rather than paying someone a $100,000 salary...in fact maybe I should get these contracts from Google, then hire cheap labour to do the work for me, and then I can retire!

What's with this URL?  It looks a little funny to me.  The domain appears to be "com-jobs-2012.us" but it seems to be masquerading as if it's from MSNBC.

That seems fishy to me.  Keep your adblockers on if you visit, just in case.

Update:Yeah, I'd advise staying away from the link.  I checked the whois and this domain was registered only a few days ago.  Apparently some kind of weird scam.

It is probably a George Soros offshoot site intended to make us vote for Obama. Make sure you check for subliminal messages.

Guys, my apologies - it turns out this is a site masquerading as MSNBC that wants to trick people into getting into the #1 job in America, Online Worker!  LOL  I'm sure this guy makes a click fee if you sign up for whatever scam is listed as the #1 opportunity.

The interesting thing is that the infographic looks very professional, which is what threw me off.

I googled the name of the company.  Apparently it's to set up an online business selling Herbalife.

That's funny.

I have been wondering about that all day.

That's a relief.  My B.S. meter was redlining.  I thought I was going to have to give up trading to become an online employee!  Chaa right.
