Hey, BRM, remember 40 hour weeks? LOL
RF16, this is a good thing for you. Just think, your whole life you've either been in school, or waiting for school to start back up in the fall. Now, you'll be too busy to think about school until summer's over!
Next step is college, trying to hold down 16 hours a semester, working part-time, studying, and all-nighters so you can pass those tough exams.
Then comes the college graduation! Finally, some time for yourself! Nothing to do but send out resumes, go to interviews, fret over the student loan payments, and then you realize that unless you want to live in your parent's basement until you are 40, you have to get a job.
If you're lucky, maybe you can find a job working at a resturant washing dishes, and work at your uncle's campground in the office, and mowing lawns, and what not.
Just don't settle for the 'communications and liberal arts majors' job....you know what I mean, the guy at McDonalds who says "Ya want fries with that?"
After you meet the right girl, settle down, and start a family, your wife will want you to get a real job, because you will have to provide for her, and you can't do that in your basement room. So, back to the job search.
Around age 30, you'll wonder why the degree you earned doesn't translate into the money you want. It's simple economics...you don't own the company. So, to make up for the financial shortfall, you work 60-70 hour weeks, try to spend time with the wife and kids, and live on 4 hours sleep a night.
Around age 40, you are told by your doctor to slow down, you'll be overweight, have high blood pressure, and going bald fast.
THEN....you can decide that a 40-hour week is just what you want. Of course, by then, you'll be too run down to enjoy a normal life.
So, enjoy it now, RF16...life will never be this good again!
