rec1978 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I'd just like to park this post here. It's from the original thread the OP posted soliciting commissions. If people haven't read it, perhaps they should. There's some genuinely good advice in this thread, but also a lot of making fun of the OP that perhaps should be reconsidered. *sigh* I think a lot of boardies didn't realize there was simply something off about this kid. I reached out to him on facebook, where he had been posting a similar ad in a comic book group. He has a learning disability and perhaps other ailments that he didn't feel comfortable disclosing. My own brother has autism, and I realized Gabriel was acting quite similar to how my brother may act in certain situations. Word to the wise, take a step back and think about what we're saying. The poor kid was in pretty rough shape when I did reach out to him over this situation. Good Post, BF. Gabriel, You seem like a good kid who has ambition; however, you are directing that ambition blindly. "Drive" is great, as long as you have an idea of where you are going...no one can "give" you a map, as your destination is not going to be the same as mine, or Person A, or Person B. Stick with what you know, what you feel comfortable with, and what you are good at...until that (Voice Acting) takes off, find a "sure thing" to supplement your income. Once your Voice Acting career takes off (and I hope that it does), you can leave the supplemental income behind. Lastly, if making profit, on comics, were as easy as buying a $100 book and selling it for $1,000, EVERYONE WOULD BE DOING IT. Ron P.S. ALWAYS take the Red Pill. thanks for the kind words but one of my goals in life is to not work a min wag job for the rest of my life and find something that I can learn to do and I decided on three main things comic books, coins and video games I may not know comic books right now but that's what I'm here to learn because having a min wage job for the rest of my life isn't my dream ! Not wanting to work a minimum wage job is a great goal; however, a goal, without a plan, is just a wish. My plan was college...I had to go to a community college, initially, but I was able to work my way up to a university, eventually (some employers will share the cost of tuition with you). You seem to be looking for the easy way out...there is no easy way out. You also seem to be VERY selective on the posts that you read, and answer. Some of these guys, with a LOT more experience than I could every claim to have, have graciously taken their time to try and help you; you should be gracious and receptive, but you have just chosen to ignore everything they have said. Good luck to you, and finding that easy way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababooey Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 A min. wage job that give you opportunity, experience or assistance with education can lead to better things so don't judge all jobs by what they pay.

Walt_Flanagan-migration Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 hey guys I decided to make this thread because of the previous posts I made with consignments wanted, x-men 1 for sale and so on so I will take the best advice that someone gave me on this forum. I will prove myself to be trustworthy by making transactions with people and also since people don't really know who I am or anything about me so I decided that you can ask me anything to get to know me better!
