| I definitely want kids. I'm far too intelligent not to breed. |

Thanks for the offer but I shouldn't be spending my money on travel. I've already blown far too much of it on schooling.

In short, if you want your kids to be happy, stress constantly the importance of concrete goals, including financial ones, keep them away from the liberal arts, and enroll them in some sports or at least make sure they play outside a lot and start dating in their teens.
Otherwise you'll end up with something like me. |
Bah - nonsense. We are alright guys, JBJ. :thepirate |

Talking to a liberal arts major > talking to anyone else. |

Seriously, they may be good at what they do or whatever, but have you ever tried to have an intelligent dinner conversation with an engineer or an accountant? The versatility of a liberal arts major cannot be denied. As a professor of mine put it, "the liberal arts isn't about a particular subject inasmuch as it is about teaching the mind how to think intelligently."

I can really sympathize with where Mr.JBJ is at because honestly - I've been there, and still find myself there from time to time.
For me it kind of happened like this: You see your friends start to get crazy jobs and make money, some of them don't even have college debt, realize you aren't going to see that kind of financial stability (at least any time soon), that you aren't social as you used to be, or that you just in general aren't doing as much as you should be.
Then again, maybe that's just me and I've missed the point entirely. In any event, I guess I can just sympathize most with feeling like all of that piles on at once from time to time, and it sucks.
The thing is, Jamie was right (at least based on my experience) - self analysis can be a great thing, but sometimes you just have to get out of your own ing head for a bit. You'll drive yourself nuts examining your faults, and it's quite clear you already at least have an idea of the things in your life that make you happy - so I have a good feeling that you know how, and have the ability, to at least work towards it.
I guess that's the only thing that gives me serious solace when I get locked into thoughts like that - I genuinely believe I'm capable of getting the things I want, and smart enough to know how to do it. I'm sure JBJ falls into both those categories as well, and it doesn't mean anything will happen, but belief that what you want is within your ability is at least reassuring for me.
Well , this was a tangent. If it applies, I hope it helps - if not, just disregard. :p |
