Quote from: Starfighter on 10/05/2010, 09:12 AMI wouldn't do any job that takes up too much of my spare time. What is the point of having money if you can't enjoy what you spend it on? I would actually love to have a part time job and just barely get by. A regular apartment, video games and some beer is all I need.
Or you could be a Wall Street trader, work 16 hour days, make $400k a year, and retire before 40.  At that point you could play games and drink beer all day and sit on a mountain of cash.

But I could die at 39. I don't like to put my life on hold, so I'm going for it. :)

I agree that time is much more than money. I wasted my entire summer working 12 hours days, as many as 16 days in a row, because I was on layoff and needed the money. The contract eventually expired, and I'm now back to my good job working 40 hours a week (some would consider 40 a lot, but in the US is pretty average), 15 minutes from home, good benefits, and the pay is the same as working 53 hours at the other job.

I passed up a lot of stuff for this stupid crappy job that almost melted my face off on multiple instances...but what's insane is that there are people there, in the same building, who have been doing it for 20 years solid.  TWENTY FUCKING YEARS. Its impossible to even comprehend. I couldn't even manage to keep my grass cut and my clothes washed and these dudes have spend almost half their life in this state. Its really tragic.

As for the Wall Street thing...that's even worse. I'd rather be dead than be one of those assholes.

You are right that 75% of them are assholes, and 15% of them want to be assholes...  but 1 in 10 of those guys are actually normal humans.

fuck yeah!



seriously though, I find alot of those like uppity business people are frigging annoying to be around.  Some kids from my highschool who were alright at the time went to college for that shit, and 4 years later now, I run into them and they're just annoying people.  When you're talking about business nonsense (marketing approaches, sale strategies, whatever horse shit), at a frigging cookout focusing on chicken wings, ribs, loud music, and boobs, YOU DONE GOOFED. 


Theyre like out of touch and can't separate work time and FUCK YEAH time.
This "max-level forum psycho" (:lol:) destroyed TWO PC Engine groups in rage: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook "Because Chris 'Shadowland' Runyon!," then the other by Aaron Nanto "Because Le NightWolve!" Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together... Both times he blamed the Aarons in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

Im talking about those retards out there where no matter what they're doing, they're talking business strategery and shit.  It doesn't matter if they're in the middle of getting humped, they'll probably still be talking about some shit they read in a trump book.

OH YEAH BABY. SUPPLY AND DEMAND. SUPPLY AND DEMAND.  OOOOO.

You ever try playing air hockey with someone who starts trying to relate the way the games played to some marketing horse shit?

its terrible.
