I have an alternative mindset on my career. Money-wise, my current career path will take me to a very comfortable income in the coming years so long as I stick with it. I suspect that if I’m doing what I’m doing now by the time I’m 30, I’ll be living pretty comfortably. Hell, in two years, if I play my cards right, I should be significantly better off than I currently am.
However, I always viewed work like this as a gateway into exploring other options, with potential income benefits. Making a steady income instantenously opens up options that have nothing to do with your career, and that’s always how I kind-of viewed it. A sort-of, get your foot in the door, and then begin trying things that appeal to you on a more personal basis. Whether it be through art, gambling (hehe), day-trading, etc. So I’m not too concerned in general about climbing the corporate ladder. Plus, I don’t want to lose my soul.
Orka : That’s awesome! I can understand why though, busy guy, gotta keep that rep. Also is most of the cast from the last Melty Blood in the new one? I can’t remembe the girls name I played as, but when she lost it sounded like she was saying " Ohhh can-na-duh!" She started with a breifcase in her hand, streched out as a win pose.
A good friend of mine is still going through those actuarial exams, I feel bad at how much that dude studies for that shit…and he’s had a full time job for a couple of years now at an insurance firm.
Although i can’t feel too bad, dude gets a + to his salary every time he gets through an exam. by the time he’s done he’ll easily outclass my salary
I’m going to be out that way this weekend visiting family, but they all go to bed at like 8pm so I need something to do in the evenings tonight and possibly tomorrow.
Man you guys are really set on giving GW more money when phreak is hosting a FREE gathering maybe 25 minutes away? I’m sorry, but that gets the :lame: stick.
Boris- Try the Athenian chicken with saganaki, avgolemono (soup), and your girlfriend will probably like baklava for desert.(for some reason, all the ladies love it)
Edit- Anyone available for starcraft action today? Have to leave for work around 730, and it’d be nice to switch gears now and then.
