  • 15 terrible students who became wildly successful The report card doesn't matter much in the real world.

    Spending time in the education system is not a guarantee of success, and for some it even turns out to be an impediment. You are already familiar with classic ‘dropout’ stories like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, but there are many more inspirational stories worth a look. Barry Charles Diller (1942) Barry Diller first found a way into business by working at the mail room of the William Morris Agency, a job he found worthy enough to drop out of UCLA after only three weeks of attendance. While working there, Diller learned the inside scoop on the entertainment industry by reading the mail of everyone of importance in the agency.…

  • The 15 red flags that reveal you’re about to get fired It's better to have quit than having been fired. Look out for these signs that definitely mean your company wants you gone.

    People can get fired for any number of reasons – for the way they look, the things they say, not “voluntarily” doing those lame social events, and approximately 1,692 other excuses. If you’ve ever been kicked to the curb you know the feeling of embarrassment and anger that can come with it. If you’ve never experienced it, we salute you and hope your lucky streak continues. Sometimes the best (and most satisfying) scenario for the employee is to extravagantly quit before getting fired, and the rest of the time it’s better to just get ahead of an official dismissal any way. Whether or not you’re brave enough to carry out…

  • Things school doesn’t teach you about money—but should Students are more ignorant than ever when it comes to real-world stuff like financial literacy.

    Students today are being churned out of college more ignorant than ever before, at least when it comes to real-world stuff like financial literacy. A study in the Journal of Consumer Marketing reveals that the majority of college students now don’t even know the interest rates on their credit cards. That’s because behind the veneer of high tech gadgets, the whole education system is a relic from simpler times. Your grandparents could go to college for the few hundred dollars they earned in their spare time and come out set for life, but students today are taking out hundreds of thousands of dollars in crippling life-long loans to learn a…

    Many people fantasize about creative ways to quit their jobs in a way that humiliate their horrible workplace and/or boss, and the theme has been the subject of great cult classic movies like Office Space. It doesn’t hurt that surveys now show most people’s dream job is to be a YouTube content creator, and petty revenge we can all relate to is truly the stuff of a million clicks. Still, you know as well as I do they won’t ever actually take that fantasy to real life. You want to keep that reference as clean as possible after all.

  • LEGO bricks are a better investment than gold, study says Don't open that LEGO set.

    You can build anything out of LEGO—from a working difference engine to a full-scale giraffe to a diversified investment portfolio. It turns out that LEGO Hogwarts Castle kit could one day put your kids through college. The plastic construction sets demonstrated stronger returns than large stocks, bonds, and gold over the three decades ending in 2015, according to a study titled LEGO – The Toy of Smart Investors, by Victoria Dobrynskaya and Julia Kishilova of Russia’s Higher School of Economics. It seems absurd that a 7,541-piece Millennium Falcon model could yield enough money for the downpayment on a house. But, thanks to supply and demand in the collector’s market, a…

  • The (many) unsexy reasons you would never want to be a male porn star Getting paid to have sex on camera with hot girls is wildly overrated, and we’ll tell you why.

    Quick question: how many male porn stars can you name off the top of your head? Don’t say John Holmes. He’s dead—doesn’t count. Don’t say Ron Jeremy, either. He’s a fat, hairy, old guy with a mustache. He’s still a ‘star’ the same way Chaz Bono is still a women. Take away those two, and who ya got? Nobody? Nothing? Well, don’t feel bad, because you’re not the only one. The term “male porn star” is kind of an oxymoron anymore, anyway. This is because being a guy in the porn business isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. That’s right, we said it—getting paid to have sex on camera…
