Clue
#1.

The
person has a college degree beyond that of a B.S.

Look, college doesn't teach anyone how to make money.
In fact, from that point-of-view, a college education has a negative
value. And, of course, a smart student will learn this long
before four years are up. However, a "voyeur,"
someone who wants to hide-out from life, can escape reality
for years by going after a master's or a doctorate degree.

But wait. You've always heard college-educated people
earn more money than non-college-educated people, right? Sure,
that is true in general but, for that observation to be
correct, it should be stated thusly:

A Non-Player With A

College Degree Will Usually

Make More Money Than

Another Non-Player Without One

Of course, players often make 100 times or 1,000
times or 10,000 times more than non-players with or without
degrees! You know, once upon a time, a salt-of-the-earth
businessman (not me) was at a society cocktail party when the
hostess found out he didn't have a college degree and
expressed her condolences.

"Oh, don't worry," replied the businessman,
"it's really OK. You see, I've got about 150 guys with
degrees working for me!"

Clue
#2:

The
person knows how to operate a personal computer.

I'll admit there are a few exceptions but, for the most
part, anyone who knows how to run a PC is a clerk.
Usually, this is such a person that likes to bury himself in
technological effluvium in order to avoid the exhilarating,
exciting and terrifying real work of a player which is,
of course... SELLING!

You know, whenever someone starts bragging to me about
how well his operation is computerized, I groan inwardly
because it is almost certain that person has totally neglected
the truly important aspects of his business.
