Building GPS and missile systems for the NAVY.



HORSE💩

or

BULL💩



But definitely full of 💩

First thing I was thinking is an NDA for that kind of work. So posting it is at least very strange..

But, I sure hope BK will succeed in whatever.

I've worked in aviation as a pilot, flight instructor, and along side others who worked in the A&P/Avionics side of the industry and with BK's background idk what's so surprising that he can't land a job as described. I mean really dude, you should start looking at your own life before trying to troll others.

Good question. My thinking is that talent, introspection, skill, and temperament are absolutely baseline minimum requirements just to get in the door. It is shaped like a pyramid and at each level the % of individuals that meet all of those requirements is smaller and smaller. Also the differences between each level become more and more subtle and harder to define/discern. You see that concept born out in a number of fields (musician, movie star, professional athlete, etc); and putting your finger on precisely the difference is almost impossible.

Personally I think that alternative career options could also be a factor. For example, if your option is to be a minimum wage bus-boy, then trying your hand at being a professional poker player is an easier decision than if you have a job option in the 70k+ range.

Perhaps it is what a recent posted said on page 36: "I'm pretty sure his dream involves living out of a subcompact car while playing 10 hrs of poker a week just to cover his costs so he can dick around the rest of the time."

Page 36??

More more more

Then on his early vlog he said he “binked” an online score and forgot he claimed he won an inheritance. Then some mystery western union thief stole 45k he had just supposedly sitting in a checking account.

Now he is claiming to make weapons for the government.

Draw your own conclusions.

Trooper and BikeKing both failed because they lacked the work ethic necessary.

Agree, damn BikeKing wanted to be a professional liar but was too lazy to make it look good. No pride in his craftsmanship.

It's post 899 (Dream Crusher). On my computer at the top and bottom right side of the page I see page numbers and the post that I was referring to was on page 36.

You can set the number of posts per page in preferences. For me, this currently is page 19 since I have 50 posts per page. If you have it set for 25 posts per page, it should be page 37. Yadda, yadda, yadda.

I know, that's why we should never refer by page number, but by post number instead.

Trooper has work ethic he just lacks talent and he doesn't focus his work into the right places. He would rather put out 5-6 mediocre vlogs a week that get 10k views each than to put out one good vlog a week that gets 200k views.

BikeKing is a compulsive liar, someone who lies by habit even when he doesn't need to. That "$45K stolen" with bank statements that don't line up correctly was LOL.

As to him "building GPSs and missiles for the navy", maybe he is putting them in boxes etc and there is a grain of truth somewhere. Who knows? Whatever it is he is certainly not designing or doing high tech work with GPSs and missiles like his tweet implied.

He also seems very confused, repeatedly trying to lie to somehow impress viewers/readers when, let's be honest, I can't think of anything worse or less impressive than living in a broken down Prius and playing subsistence poker. Okay except the tunnels, that would be worse.

I'm not saying he has never told a lie but you guys don't understand how government contractor jobs work.

These companies make millions from the DoD by supplying talent like BikeKing to do highly specialized jobs. Whatever company he works for has a contract with the Navy and he is doing some job that helps fulfill that contract. It might be something simple like welding missiles launchers onto planes, who knows?

But he has an aviation-related degree, certifications, and experience, so think of him as similar to someone who has an IT degree/certification, there will always be companies looking to hire someone with that degree.

You're using the word degree real loosely. I have not seen one point ITT that Bike King has claimed to have a degree. He received certifications to be an Avionics Technician. This is generally a 2 year program. He supposedly graduated suma cum laude holding all the certs. I just hope he didn't graduate from Hamburgler University with certs for working the fry station, the burger station, and even the drive-thru.

His linkedin says he has an A.A., so you're right, it's a two-year degree, but it's good enough to make good money.

I wonder when living in a car will finally get old for him. He's definitely a trooper.

This thread was an interesting read

He has some updates on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bikeking19/?hl=en

I was reading about qigong and came across this book excerpt: http://www.chinaforjesus.com/resources/qigong/chap2.htm. I would be interested to hear your opinions about this. The scary part is the idea that you can have initial success which is actually caused by evil spirits, and their ultimate purpose is to destroy your life. It reminded me of poker (if you replaced the qigong references with poker) and all the smart young men like BikeKing and Rich Checkmaker who have been led to believe it's worth pursuing poker as a career instead of a hobby, and the amount of time and money (opportunity cost) and delay in starting relationships/families that has cost them, among other bad things.

So he put professional poker player on his resume?

Unless you're applying for a job to be a poker instructor or something poker related this is terrible.

Only clueless people who have never had a real job would think to put this on their resume. It's so cringe. No one will see that and have positive thoughts about it.

You might as well put homeless gambling addict because that's how people will basically view it.

Having several years gap of nothing would be just as bad.

Depending on the industry and the skill set the applicant brings to the table, poker player could be a plus or maybe a way for the applicant to filter who they want to work for.

I could see it being a plus for software developers for example

I can confirm that several years of resume gap is definitely worse. Having poker on your resume will polarize it, which is what you want if you have a weak resume and need to stand out. Whoever's looking at it will either think you're a degen or think it's very interesting and that you are smart if you lasted a long time.

During my last interview, my main interviewer was super interested about my poker experience and asked me about that right away before talking about technical stuff. I was hired a week later. I even asked them to delay my start date a few months so I can go to Vegas for an extended trip one last time and play poker. They were 100% ok with it.

Well I am glad to see that he is still around.
