Title: tired of work
Post by: ktrim on August 10, 2005, 11:38:03 AM
So its like this,  I reliezed this morning that I have 35 years until retirement.  I don't want to wait.  I m tired of work, not the job, but wrk in general.  I want to stay home with the kids and watch cartoons, play in the rain, walk in the woods, go fisihing everyday etc.  By the time I can afford to hang out with my family they'll be grown up, passed away, or want nothing to do with me.  So,  I'm looking for ideas,  Legal Ideas.  If every one on the internet sends me $1 I could quit my job today and spend the rest of my life happy with my children, family and friends.  thats about all I can come up with right now so HELP I DONT WANT TO WORK ANYMORE!!!!!!!!

you could sell your least favorite child and use the money to retire and hang out with the ones you love more.

if you sell her and she comes back, then you can sell her again.

How can she say,"No"? Does she work? Does she pay the bills? You'd best pimp that lady out and let her know who's boss! Put her to work! She gave birth to your kids, she's done, she can go work now!

i like in the movie Office Space where there's a career counselor who asks everybody what they'd be doing if they had a million dollars (your answer is supposed to be your ideal career), and the main character says "nothing."

Because she bitched a lot when he tried to sell a kid... he he...  What about the opposite, take family at work, let them involve with your activities, so you'll be a happy family working together...

That's not where the money is.  MD is where the money is.  If you can stand it.

MD is not as lucrative as it used to be.  Get a JD  :thumb:

MD is definitely not what it used to be. Nurse Anesthetist. Theres' cash for 6 years of school. starting salaries between 100k-150k and no malpractice

JD is where the money is, MD's first 10 years are spent paying off their med school loans, and malpractice insurance is over 1/3 the cost of having your own practice.  Unless you go into cosmetic surgery, it'd be relatively hard to make the big bucks as a starting doctor.

PhD's do OK in the right fields, if you do  of consulting or work for corporations.  Just don't plan on making a lot of bank in the academic world.

jake42 is right on the money - getting into nursing school can be a Buddha Loves You though, most of them have huge waiting lists. part of the reason that there's a major need for nurses is that they can't get enough of them into schools, or graduated once they're in the classes.

But you ALWAYS around sick people... What a drag!

Want to know a secret?

There are 2 paths to take in life...

Want to know?

Ok...

1.  Get a job that makes a boatload of money really fast.  Investment banker, pimp, thief, whatever.  Then "retire" early and do what you REALLY love.  Nothing if that is it (like me).

2.  Do what you REALLY love and find a way to survive doing it.

DON'T be like the masses who go every day to some meaningless job that they hate to simply pay the bills and survive.  That is NOT the way to be happy.  You spend 1/3 of your life working, shouldn't you ENJOY it...a little?

You're nucking futs ...
I am an engineer ... I hate people ... Anasthetist, Doctor ... WTF I'd install a set of handle bars in their waist and have their wives/GF's ... use that to hold on when riding ...
I am talking about getting a PHD in computer science ... encryption ... or digital data security ... Really cool field IMHO, I oddly think I have the brains to do it, and it has to get better from where we are standing ... I think I can make a difference - Yea how's that for scary ... We're talking theft proof data, theft proof cars, houses that cannot be broken into ... its all comming and its all data and its all going to have to be secured. Identity theft is just the tip of the iceberg in what lurks in the shadows ... 10 years from now, we'll have much much bigger theft ... committed by people that dont even live in your country, and dont even leave their house ... (yea like that's not happening now). we need to recognise it and stop it hopefully before it happens or as it happens.
Cool.

Nursing is really competitive right now.  We have over 600 applicants this year for 90 seats.  The biggest problem at our school is that we can't handle that many more students per year because of lack of clinical sites and clinical instructors.  In a BSN program like Pitt our students start clinical rotations in their sophomore year and in clinical there are only 6-7 students per instructor, so you can imagine what would happen if we admitted 250 students.  I'm working on my PhD now, but have actually considered going back and getting a BSN.  The salaries and benefits just keep climbing and the shortage is not getting any better.

I think every job sucks at some point in time. Last I heard, the average american changes careers seven times in their lives.




How much for the Mrs.?
