Psh. If that's pocket change I'd be driving a 458.

I'd be all, "Oh nos, my tire has 1 psi less than all the others, better take it to the dealership."

"That will be $50 sir."

"Here, take my $100, I have too much pocket change in my wallet today."

Are you going to school UD? If you want nice things in life, you need to take the right steps. There are no shortcuts. Some have done well without a degree but that percentage is very small and they still educated themselves and used their experience to make it. If you work for a company, your growth will without a doubt be stunted without a degree. It's competitive out there. Education is your foundation.

My boy Rick is doing very well. He studied his ass off and worked very hard to get where he is. He lives in one of the most expensive neighborhoods on Oahu. He went from a 997 to a Cali. Bought his girl a 5 series. Travels every year around the world as well as the usual spots like Tahoe, Vegas, etc. He's young too.. and his MD buddies are doing just as well. Of course you see one with a 458, another has a sweet GT-R.. his parking garage at work is ridiculous.

It's never to late to get on the path, but you're at the prime age to start.

I'll be registering in July (I think the 5th), it's marked on my computer at home.

I'd really love to drive cars like that but the schooling is just insane. I dread school

I still have no idea what I want to do for a living and I still have time to decide so we'll see. Most of the things I like to do are considered hobbies, I can't really think of a field of work I can see myself in that makes a generous amount of money.

What are your hobbies?

I'm an engineer. I bit early.. I knew what I wanted to do and I'm doing it. I'm not at my true goal but I'm working at it. I'm still pursuing higher education, someday PhD, definitely Exec MBA. I pinch my pennies. I don't have cable, house phone, or bronze te37's.. and it's not that I can't afford them. It's just a hindrance to the end goal.

If making big money is the goal, find out where the money is and contemplate if that's something you might be interested in.. definitely don't do something only for the money though. Your success is your passion. If you love doing it and you're good at it, there's a way to make good money from it. Sometimes it's a challenge making it work, but I promise you, you'll burn out if you chase the money and don't have a passion for it.

Do you like math? science? computers? helping people?.. figure out what you like, make a list.

I wasn't so good with higher Algebra but for the most part I was good at it. Graphing I cannot stand I do love computers, idk if you guys can tell Cars, guns, motorcycles and probably most of all, video games. Some medical fields aren't too bad either, I'm not interested in operating but like x-ray or something like that instead.

My BIL obtained his degree in Ultrasonography at UNLV. He's making 6 figures. Medical sales can easily net 6 figures but it's fickle. Radiology techs can make 60k to 100k as well, but it's less specialized and many people in that field.

Do you have any programming experience? IT experience?

Something tells me IT might be a good fit.

Career path and opportunities are much bigger if you have an EE degree and all your certs. Certs are expensive but some employers will pay for you to get certified. I have CCNA cert. Didn't pursue it further.

Like Majofo I have no boundaries. Because I am not sure who she is. Either the black chic I kissed before I left or some other white chic.

Getting ready to go to Midland/Odessa for my boys b-day so prolly gonna be another wild night most likely involving a strip club.

I'm a mutual fund analyst. I did my undergrad at U of Hartford and got an internship going into my junior year. Internship turned into a job offer on the table before graduation in 2007. I want to move up the corporate ladder so MBA is in the game plan sooner than later.
