Secretly A Pony

I am so excited and proud right now! I first went to college 5 1/2 years ago (Sept 2013), right after I finished high school. Didn't succeed. Dropped out after one semester. I was burned out from school and only went because my family wouldn't stop bugging me about it. Do I really need to say why that's never a good reason to go to college? I did want to go to college. Just not on their schedule. Floated around for some years, trying to figure out what to do with my life and how adulthood works (LOL; it never stops feeling unnatural, but you get better at it). Got a job in retail. After two years, going on three, of that, I finally went back to school, but I chose a trade school versus traditional college because I didn't want to spend four years getting a degree. No offense to those who take that route. I just didn't want it. I struggled toward the end of the program, but I got a 91 on my final exam and a 95 on my research project, both of which I finished quickly (exam was 100 questions I answered in 30 minutes; research paper was 4 pages I did in 2 hours by regurgitating text from my textbook, though not verbatim). In the end, I passed the program with a 3.41 GPA, which is an 89% (so B+). So I am good at school... when I like the subject! Eh, no surprise. I've been that way since I was a kid, but I paid my own way, so family can't complain. I have been over the moon since I found out the grades! What I have next is an internship. I'm nervous about it because it'll be my first non-retail job if I'm accepted (they're trying to have me start this week), but I'm also excited because I'll be working in a public school (or more than one; I'm uncertain). Which means weekends off! Retail has made hate the weekend! I want to love them again!

Ugh! I cannot do restocking! I get some small good deals, but I continually miss the big ones, even in the "beginner" shops, and waiting around for the shop(s) I want to restock so I can try again is causing me more frustration than profit. I know anything that's not games requires patience. It's that I have to wait around, doing little things while minding the clock that's wearing my patience thin. I make more profit finding deals (snipes?) on the Super Shop Wizard (by the way, that is the best perk of premium, hands down!). I've heard of people making several thousands or making millions from the stock market, but it seems my skills don't lie there either. Anything from the battledome is out because my pet is too weak at the moment. I seem to do well with the food club because I've won so far on the few bets I've made. I already play the mobile app, but that caps out at 50K. Yes, that's a lot on its own (to me anyway), but I don't want to stop there. So, what's everyone's big profit maker and how do you do it?
