There's all sorts of gradations to that scenario....and it all depends on what you value most and are willing to live with to meet your goals.

I've worked jobs that I've hated -- just for the high salary -- in the end it doesn't pay....you end up miserable. Most people don't like to go to a job they can't stand. Eventually, it eats you up inside.

 

I've never actualy had a job, but i agree with Spellbound. Having a job just for high salary is sucky. Money is so overated anyway. It's usefull, but far too many people are owned my money instead of the other way around.
Besides, if you're doing a job for money, i suppose you're telling yourself you're doing it so you'll enjoy yourself later. This later rarely happens, since you're so ensnared in the cycle you keep putting it off and keeping it a dream instead of reality. And you're surely not happy with a pile of gold you've earned.
On the other hand, you can have fun every day, not having much money, but it doesnt really matter, since you're enjoying yourself. What's money for anyway? People gather it so they'll be able to enjoy themselves. It's an ideal, rather than a tool they own.

*shrugs*
mind, i've never had to work to get money or anything, so that's most surely an idealistic way of looking at it. I prefer it that way though.

 

That's very right. By the way, why have you never had to work for money? Are your folk’s millionaires or something? Spoiled little brat!!!

 

See, here in New Zealand we're luckey (or unluckey, depending on how you look at it) as the minumin wage that you can get paid is over that. It's probably arond US$5 per hour. This of course has a lot of bad points to it, but when one is unqualified and such it's great.

 

I would say that's rather awful. $5 US dollars are about £2.50 Sterling and the minimum wage here is almost £5, which is like $9 dollars. Which is to me is still awful for a minimum wage. Definitely unlucky

 

If a dutch guy created french fries, did a french guy create double dutch?

 

Just remember people - professionals built the Titanic while an amateur built the Ark

 

However the titanic is proven to be real.

 

I wonder...what's better, "imaginary" things or real things that failed miserably?


Experience has taught me that it is indeed entirely possible to work a job that you seriously hate and which has low pay (ie minimum wage, or just above it). By that token, I figure it would be all too easy to work a job that you despise, but has good pay. Hell, I'd *love* to work a bad job that pays well!

And contrary to what some of you hippies ( ) keep saying, money is indeed important. Money pays your bills, your education, your children's education, your food, etc. Therefore, it is completely irrational to disregard money entirely.

Well in that case, my insides must be long gone... (that could explain a lot of things though... ).

I've been addicted to a DOS TBS game with ASCII graphics! It's great!

What is wrong with the ALFA site? It just won't load ...

[EDIT: of course it doesn't when I still use the old alandfaraway.net when it should be .org...silly me ]

As you say, Faerus....case in point.

 

Go, Calgary!

 

Let it be known to everybody! The cup shall return to Canada, where it rightfully belongs!

 

I'm a little bit of a geek, but not as much when I compare myself to some other individuals I know (I don't know *squat* about running Samba).

However, I outright laughed at this one:

"Wow. You've finally found a use for "tar --swap-every-third-byte --emulate-vax-post-1993 --include-hurd-source-but-backward". I've always wondered what all of those weird extra GNU options were for."

 

I went, I saw, I passed

Had two days to prepare, but still got an A. I dried two cups of coffee within the first couple of minutes of that charming conversation Administrative law final exams. Constitutional law is on Tuesday, though.

 

Anyone who knows what tar means is automatically a geek

 

I thought tar was either the stuff that city councils put on roads or one of the "bad things" in cigarettes which are slowly killing me?

Or else a slang term for a sailor.

 

Hockey tonight!
We're playing Kapiti College as well! Our college's rival college, so to speak! *laughs*
