Nah nah nah, you can’t ASK for advice in this trend, it has to be given freely.

The same friend had previously recommended that I learn Hadoop. I didn’t because I didn’t have the proper setup to host it and when was it going to be relevant to my job? Incidentally my current job relies - and my previous job relied - heavily on HDFS.
I’m extremely sleep deprived and can’t remember the third thing, but there was a third thing that would have been extremely lucrative if I had followed his advice.
Once I recognized the trend I asked him for the next suggestion. He said I should start my own business. I didn’t because I don’t have any ideas.
Maybe I should start a business.

Given the nature of his proclivities, I wouldn’t be surprised if he showed up here unprompted and dropped the next nugget of financial wisdom.

That sounds like a good business plan, but I’m not sure I could convince Ryan Reynolds (or Guy) to work with me.
