    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    drug dealer obv.

    it really depends. some people try to argue that you cant make a living doing that, and the rest are really surprised, but think its really cool.

    Nice, high stakes job hunting.

    Depends on the people, some I say I play poker, others I say I invest.

    Most people's reaction is sort of "oh cool". I only have two friends that look down on it. Which is weird because they're both very smart, but will not be convinced that I'm doing anything other than gambling and running hot.

    My closest (who are kinda the smartest) friends understand my situation. I feel comfortable with telling them the general area of the money I make but strangers I just say I invest. Then people never ask your earnings.
