I asked about becoming a rockstar and it said I shouldn't bother because it's too hard. Then I asked about becoming an international arms dealer and it helpfully said I should research the local job market for arms dealer jobs.

I mean... it's not wrong...

For any profession I asked it gives such generic responses that it's useless. You want to breed horses? Learn biology and apply for horse breeding jobs in your area.
OP here, that's hilarious! Thanks for the try.
You really need to search international listings, not local ones, if you are going to be an international arms dealer.

Although I would personally recommend that you start as a local arms dealer, then work your way up to interstate arms dealer, and then finally international arms dealer. It takes a while to learn to master all the paperwork involved just within the US. Dealing with importing arms to other countries, VAT, bribes, etc. gets overwhelming fast!

Once you have your foot in the door...
"What are your qualifications?"

"15 years of C++"

"Footguns, eh? That's a niche market."
