What do you do for a living?

Signed up to say that I'm an accountant (tax accountant) and have an '01 Turbo

If I were you I would save up for med school tbh. At 45g+ a year it's no joke. Unless you can manage a 40 or higher on your mcats at which point you can get a free ride pretty much anywhere. Good for you if you plan on doing heme/onc or rad/onc but you will have to love what you do. Most oncology attendings I know basically live at the hospital. It's a very fulfilling and rewarding job but will suck up all your time. My first day on oncology rotations involved telling 2 people they had less than a year to live. Talk about putting your life in perspective.

We all know too dry is not good but that's lubricant overloaded. Very nice picture, wish I was there.

I have recently become inspired to volunteer to help oil spill clean-up. Suddenly, just contributing money doesn't seem to do it for me. I have had enough of sitting back in my comfortable home and throwing money at the problem. It's time to step up and get my hands dirty.

Initially, accounting was my major (2 years), ended up graduating with a degree in "Recreation and Leisure Studies" and a minor in Philosophy! No jobs in those fields, so I went to work as an accountant for an oil company. Moved over to a defense company (finance), finished two masters programs (Pubic Administration and Management) and finally got a job in government. Now...15 years later.... I'm a City Manager in one of those poor cities in California....By far, the most challenging, demanding and rewarding adventure so far (not counting parenting). Get your degrees, keep an eye on the where you want to go, not where you are and make your turbo the second car (they're special).

Believe it or not, i photograph weddings all over the world for a living. I spend 6 months of the year 'working' (more like partying at weddings) and the other 6 months, I am on vacation. That's the weekends. During the weekdays, I shuttle my 3 little boys to pre-school/kindergarten, cook, clean and everything else...while my wife is at work.

i have to agree with not having a degree to have what you want.. i made all my $ being a sales person before i went back to school for my MFT in my 30's.. the most important thing to attaining what we want in life boil down to a few factors IMO. 1) having goals and setting aside money to achieve whatever that is. 2). no being dependent on substances and not tracking their $$. i have seen many people that complain they don't have much. when i ask certain questions, there is always a few common factors. substance and no planed goal are two that stand out.. i will say this however, having a degree today is way more helpful then back in the day.. school is good, positive behaviors are what move you along no matter what education one has... i have lawyer friends that are always broke. they make 200k a year..WTF...
