Selling my company.

My family is selling one of their companies, I am slightly sad to be reaching the end of this ride. It has been long and exhausting however it has also be exciting and an experience I am glad to have been apart of.

On a different note I will now really have nothing to do, and I am looking for suggestions from you all as to what I should do with my time. I will be back in the States permanently soon and I would like to take on a new endeavor. Any suggestions to what industry?

I got really drunk the yesterday and made a couple threads that Pat didn't think were in the WSO guidelines.

Real estate development

I am in real estate now. Not really into development though. It's a possibility, but unlikely because the market is too fickle for me.

No idea. Go to Harvard and bang all the wealthy chicks (if not already done).

Else, you should take 3 weeks off in the sahara desert to reflect on your life. All the great prophets used to do that.

Get a head start investing in the commercial/industrial cannabis business... legalization is coming...

The government should legalize and tax, while letting companies keep their policies of firing if it is found in your system. This would essentially keep it illegal with out all of the headaches of the constant protesting about legalization. This would let those who think they are morally superior to keep people from using cannabis while letting those who don't care or want to use it use it with out flooding the jails. However since the pententary system is largely private in this country they have a huge reason to lobby to keep it illegal.

Solar energy is only worth it if there are government subsidies
