congrats! yeah, most of my "jobs" were "kid jobs", I've had 2 "real jobs". Been at my current for 12 years. I wish I woke up loving what I do, or was passionate about what I do - I mean, I don't hate it, it's a good job - but to think about having to work for 18 more years...uggghhhh...it's depressing.

I'm hoping to help my 4 year old find something he's passionate about doing, support the cause and guide him to be the best he can be at what he's passionate about - that way he can actually enjoy what he does, something I figure about 1% of us get to experience.

I kind of put it this way, if i won the powerball and took home at least 1Mil after taxes, I'd probably quit that day. Those who love what they do would simply keep doing what they do.

I have done a relatively small way in terms of work, so I see no point in describing my work places. In addition, there were only three of them and it was not long. I just want to say that now I work as a freelancer and write various articles for buyessay.org/college-essay.html. And I don't regret that I decided not to continue working full-time, as this opened up various possibilities for me.

About the same for me.

Isn't it amazing how the youth of today are so lazy? That combined with their feeling of entitlement...it's just terrible.
