In high school, a friend of mine used to sell candy bars for $1 during “study hall” to raise money for his academic team's trip to Switzerland. He did pretty well until I found out that Big Lots sold name brand candy bars for 25 cents, and I started coming to study hall with a backpack full of them for only 50 cents. They never made it to Switzerland, and I made approximately $10/week. I still wear a scarlett letter to this day for that shameful piece of capitalism.
On the bright side, since investing my profits in ExPL0 Sm@11 C@p ST0CK$ during that sophomore year in high school, I have earned enough money to take a trip to Europe. Swiss Alps here we come!
