Lol nikkas LOVE to be sold dreams.

Sure, it's possible. That's not the question. The question is, is it probable? Given how many people are just scraping by in NYC, Im gonna say no. Plus just wanting to be a millionaire isn't enough. Those dudes are smart and hungry as fukk.

You my friend are the 99% :manny: There are no guarantees in life except death. Your birth wasn't probable, you had to beat like a million other sperm to reach the egg. You being born in the US is hitting the lotto, most of the world is born in poverty. I bolded what's important, that hunger, that drive. A lot of former athletes on Wall St doing better than their degreed counterparts, because they have that drive. In the end breh it's all on you if you gon' get your dough, complaining costs you nothing :manny:

There are multiple big cities. This developer is late on the game. All cash down the drain.

NYC
Manhattan is 100% capitalism b. You can be a hobo off the street and get a job as a broker's assistant and go from there. You just have to show your drive. I don't know about America, but NYC is truly the one place where anybody can make it.

:mjlol::skip:


They already have a Manhattan, btw, it's called Hong Kong.

Morgan stanley had 90,000 applications for 1000 internships this summer

Well breh, are you an application sender breh? Or you gon' get on your grind like Will Smith in "Happyness"? :myman: Again, your daddy's sperm had to beat out millions of other sperm in order for you to exist. I didn't say everybody will make it, I said ANYBODY CAN MAKE IT. Big difference. You could be a well educated doctor in Cuba and be f*cked for life just because you're not a relative of Castro. In Manhattan anybody with drive and a hard work ethic can carve his/her niche. :obama:

You talkin' about schools, I'm talkin' about makin' it. EVERYBODY HAS A SHOT. That's not true in most parts of the world. I don't what's so hard to understand. And yes you're right you could also say that about Silicon Valley or the CBOT in Chicago, casino operations in Vegas or in regards to oil in Texas, but Manhattan more so than anywhere because there is so much money flowin' through that b*sh. In Manhattan you can get cake doing bike deliveres for Christ's sake, where else do they do that at. I knew an Arab with a pita stand making about $2000-3000 a day. I'm not talking about becoming a quant analyst, if you on your grind and manage your money right in Manhattan you can be caked up for real. You may not get to be George Soros status, but you can be financially independent :yes:
