So recently I have given serious thought to leaving my job and doing one of the following:

1.  Becoming a teacher (serious income drop)
2.  Moving to the Derivatives desk  

Needless to say the first option is a serious drop in income.  Like 40% of what I make now.  And I thought I would be happier but would not be able to sneak out @ lunch to fuck and the income drop would damn near make it impossible to fuck hookers.

My wife has arranged for me to interview with a colleague of hers to become a long term substitute until I qualify for my teachers license.

And I really don't want to stay in Finance.  I fucking hate these people and they probably hate my Black ass 2 but so the fuck what.  Like my man in the White House I want negotiate motherfuckers!!!!!!!!

What would you do?

Thoughts, opinions, help a brother out!

Frankly teaching (with tenure) will increase your income.  What do you plan on teaching?

I would suggest that you set up some Hooker 101 and Advanced Hooker classes.  Maybe plan on using your wit and charm to teach them how to properly reply to inquiries...making sure to BCC?  And in advanced Hooker 201 I would love to see you teach them how to write an ad...accurately reflecting their ages.

Forget the derivatives desk...not going to happen unless you are planning on entry level shit where you're the lackey that gets coffee and lunch for the smart dudes.  Kind of demeaning...but you could find fuck time when you are supposed to be getting lunch for those making money.

How about asking your wife to be her PA.  Plenty of time then to fuck hookers....and I doubt the wife would really give a shit.  But didn't you say she's some kind of PhD?  Maybe introduce her to the many hookers here who are either done with their PhD's or working on them.  Might be fun.

No charge on my initial consult.

affected by my year in bonus.  Not to be some kind of shithead but it puts me into the six figures.  The teaching thing is most likely coming in around 40 to 50 depending on the school district. (city vs. suburban).  More gigs in Cleveland than in the suburbs.

And the position on the Derivatives desk is more of a risk management position due to my quant background.  Wouldn't actually trade derivatives but would monitor the porfolio and create modeling scenarios specifically watching for fat tail distributions events (i.e, Black Swans).  Again, it's what I am trained for but I am just sick of this shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know how to explain mathematical concepts and teaching would probably be a better fit.  But then most likely the Ridgetucky persona would cease to exist.  WTF do I do then?

You are probably the one guy on this board who gets where I am coming from and I appreciate the humor thrown in.

And many teachers supplement their income with other gigs.  For example....how about coaching the girls tennis team.  Just think...all that young pussy running around in those little tennis skirts.  And you could also coach the soccer team...same gig as those shorts can be kind of hot as well.

But if you don't want to go that route set up some summer college classes teaching the wannabe hookers how to set this up properly.  Too many have no fucking clue and end up with the agencies and make no money.  

Just with those two agendas you could easily be in the low 100's in short order. The entry level of 50k seems right...but with your background you should quickly earn more.  Heck...the entry level for suburban schools (North Shore in particular) here is near 90k.  

Honestly, the happier anyone is doing whatever it is they're doing...the more money they seem to make.

And FWIW there is a serious shortage of good math teachers.  It would be even better if you were a woman...many schools will pay some serious premiums for women math teachers.  Maybe time to think about a sex change?  LOL

Income affects everything, not just the ability to pay to play.  So unless you are ready to go back to monogamy or you have a trust fund or a wife who will pay the way, take the job on the derivatives desk.  They call it work for a reason.  But in the long run money is why you do it.  And you can try to get by on the teacher track and get your summers off (good luck sitting on the beach with your wife looking at all that hot young ass and not having the cash to play) and hope the pension system will carry your late arriving ass to a happy ending (and it won't because people like me who pay the taxes and have no pensions have had it with that bullshit so the gig is up and the current deadbeats in the teaching profession will do what all good union people do and set up a dual class system and throw the newbies under the bus).  But if you really want to teach and give up the hobby, then go for it. But no raiding the kids piggy bank for some hot pussy when you are struggling to pay the bills.

Dear Ms. Rayne:
I was just wondering if you were to run for congress, would you co-sponsor the ACA,also known as the American Companionship Act. It would be for subsidizing hobbyist that see well review and certified adult companionship professionals. It would be predicated on income and the compensation could be in a monthly voucher form. The question would be is how would you have to change the composition of the congress, and what arguments would you make to the judicial branch to uphold this law. Also what new arguments would you make concerning, companionship and how it can positively effect the economy as well as how much revenue they probably would be losing by not taxing and subsidizing the hobby? You could also use reviews and other biological material to veirfy if one is a legitimate hobbyist. You are such an articulate and cerebral young women , as several of us here would concur that it is time for a change with general composition of congress. Also you would be doing the condom companies a favor because they would stand to gain a lot with respect to the possibility of this law going through.

Were I you, I would consider how long I could actually manage to teach high school before I ended up fired and on trial for statutory rape.  

And then, I would consider how long it will take for my extraordinarily pissed-off wife who, (very naively) recommended me for a teaching position in the first place and is now paying the majority of the bills since I make less than half my previous salary, to send a very expensive and aggressive divorce attorney to strip me of any remaining humanity I have left in my prison cell (since--I'm guessing--she 'aint gonna pay the bail)

Yep. That's what I would do.

I do share TOO MUCH info on this damn board.  

Well let's look at it from a mathematical point of view shall we?  

DAMN I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!!!

Feel free to play at home.  It's fun for ages 8 to 80.

Very rough model/estimates

*  About 10MM people in OH
*  About 25% are Black  
*  Most of that 25% centered in the six major urban areas
*  Ownership of BMW'S (let's estimate less than 5% of the general population)
*  Less than 1% of that group would be Black women
*  Less than 0.005% of that group would be Black women with a PhD.
*  Will not estimate how many of the aforementioned group are arranging interviews at this very moment because the data set is too small to be statistically significant for purposes of this analysis.

Now what does the above scenario mean?  

NOT JACK SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why?  I spent thousands of dollars and several years of my life studying this phenomenon and YOU GET IT FOR FREE.  Read the following CAREFULLY PLEASE.

"We failed to anticipate Pearl Harbor not for want of the relevant materials, but because of a plethora of irrelevant ones"  - Title of Book:  Pearl Harbor: Warning and Decision

What does that mean?  There is so much noise you can't hear the signal.  

Guys (I assume women aren't paying for sex) are surrounded by so much amplified noise (i.e., being horny, looking for specific sex acts, etc.) on this board that even my next door neighbor would have a hard time connecting my real life to Ridgetucky (the signal).  

OK you can go to bed now.

Much like the government I just do what I want and run up huge tabs and hope I can sell the debt to investors to help me finance the next spending spree.   Don't worry though I have a predetermined debt ceiling to keep my spending under control.  Of course when I reach the debt ceiling I also reserve the right to raise it arbitrarily to finance my desires.  I modeled myself after the sound budgeting skills of our leaders in congress and the white house.  I mean after all they handle it so well, why not.

Now, as to your question of should you change jobs to one that would result in a 40% pay cut.  I say go for it cupcake.   I mean taking huge pay cuts in today's economy is a can't miss.  Couple that with the plethora of job openings in education and your set.  

Now on a more serious note I would think that if you were serious with your question you would be working on your teaching license while working.  Why leave one job till you at least qualify for the field of the next job.

Becoming a teacher is serious income drop, and please don't mess around in school - that is asking for trouble.

Sell-side is getting the squeeze these days, and moving to the derivative desk (or is it a buy side shop?) can be equally risky unless you go in cheap and replace one of the more costly senior guys.

Why not consider moving to the buy side?  You do take a pay-cut, but you can generally meet less aggressive people and face less competition (just don't mention hobby - most shops take personal conduct very seriously)

Thanks for the entertaining anecdotes and statistics lessons Ridgetucky. Had a lot of fun reading this thread.

If you're going to be a teacher shoot for a state school at one of those forever beyond the point of no return union controlled states like California. They make a bucketload and score good tenure as well as new home incentives and tax loopholed advantaged credit unions. California schools have some of the hottest girls, white, or latina in the nation.  

Heck , at least Obama is cool ; just that as a socialist he's fully come out of his closet. But I couldn't stand Romney. the GOP snobs did everything to stop Ron Paul

So, you're saying it would be a good idea for all of us to out ourselves because you don't believe anyone you know will EVER be doing the very same thing you're doing here? Great. Be right back with that. With the information you have posted on this board, and with what you have under your handle, would not take much to find out your real identity, but hey...you don't care. There was a girl here who is banned now, who was famous for doing that. In 2 minutes she could tell you what type of car/truck you drive, and without you ever saying it on here. I just hope Inicky's theory is the correct one. I give you a lot of shit, but I would really not want anything to happen to you personally.

There was a fellow monger in Atlanta who frequented one of the same bar/restaurants as me. I barely knew him in "real" life, but knew who he was on the boards. One day I got a PM from him desribing me in real life and asking if GaGambler and _____ were the same person. Yep, he pegged me from my posts on the boards where I shared a bit too much truthful information about myself.

The difference here of course, is that number one, I am not married and didn't mind at all that he had figured out my "true" identity, we got drunk and laughed about it the next day in person. and number two, I am too lazy to lie or spin fake stories like I suspect, or at least hope Ridgetucky does. I don't beleive for a minute that RT is not completely full of shit, nor do I really care to tell the truth. He is mildly amusing at times, a boring troll the rest of the time.

The point remains for the rest of you though, it is not only possible for people to figure out who you are in "real" life, it has already happened to me.

Ridgetucky, I don't know if you fully thought through what you said here:

*  About 10MM people in OH
*  About 25% are Black  
*  Most of that 25% centered in the six major urban areas
*  Ownership of BMW'S (let's estimate less than 5% of the general population)
*  Less than 1% of that group would be Black women
*  Less than 0.005% of that group would be Black women with a PhD.
*  Will not estimate how many of the aforementioned group are arranging interviews at this very moment because the data set is too small to be statistically significant for purposes of this analysis.
What you've described is this: a group blacks of ~2.5 million out of a general population of 10 million, with about 625,000 centered in six major urban areas. 500,000 of the general population owning BMW's. About 100,000 of the general population would be black women. 50,000 of the general population would have PhD's.

So, we're looking at the smallest and most visible subset first: If we find a black person with a BMW, he or she is one of about 125,000 of the general population. If it's a black woman with a BMW, she's one of a group of 1250 people. If she has a PhD, she's part of a group of 50,000 people. If all of these numbers are linear, we're looking at 6.25 black women who have PhD's and own BMW's. If I know my neighbor next door has a PhD, and she's a black woman driving a BMW, the odds are one in six that her husband is a whore monger.
