ok so most of the users on here are pretty young......... how much of a priority is moneyin your life? do you know yet? is it a goal of yours to be rich? do you care? im talking long run, career stuff i notice a lot of people want to do more idealistic stuff when they're younger...... and as they actually go to university/college, a lot of them end up changing programs or going into a field they weren't really interested before because of money i think thats pretty stupid cus its not like its making you "RICH".... these people work at somethign they dont like as mcuh, and dont CARE about as much, so they can make only marginally more money ....i definitely wouldn't mind being rich, but i never want to do something i dont enjoy for a living just to get there but if i can do it with something i enjoy.. hey, that woudl be nice so basically money isn't a main goal on its own, but, and i hate to admit it, its definitely on my mind |

money, it's a crime. share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie. money, so they say, is the root of all evil today. but if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're giving none away. |

im 20 i've know what i've wanted to do since I was ~ 8. I narrowed that down to my career path, and am currently employed in the exact path I want to go down. Money is in this direction, as having my career job at 20 at a large corporation is a feat i've worked hard for. Money is a big priority in my life, but I'm pretty smart with my money, and dont feel that I need more money than the next person, to be better than him. I would probably not work a job I hate even if it pays good, but whatever - I cannot make that decision now; only when the chance is right in front of me. I love my work, my job, and everything about it. But I defintely do see a lot of people 'aiming' towards a certain field just because of money. I'm pretty confident in myself, knownig myself, and what I really want deep down inside. A shitty job that pays awesome isn't one of them. I watch my own friends change majors, this, that, and other directions as they learn these things. It's hard to pick a career path when you're young and don't really 'know yourself.' It's a phase I think everyone goes through, and just works out a lot better if you discover it a wee bit sooner than college. |

I'm 19, and I still don't know what I want to do as a "career." I'm with you though, I'd rather have a job I love and earn like $20k a year than a job I hate and earn $100k. |

I don't know yet. I remember being taught bipolarly in high school that you can A) go to college or B) become a bum. I had to learn on my own about the possible living situation of living with a room mate thus being able to survive while having a nearly minimum wage job. roommates.com is the first ranked at toptenlinks.com. All I want is a computer, some books, the internet and some small living quarters. They even make portable burners so you don't need a kitchen. I'm still figuring it out. As far as learning for my own interests, college did little for me. It's end purpose is employment. I'd rather concentrate on what interests me and choosing my own books. |

Money is no object. Well I guess it is if you took things literally.... |

I feel like I'd hate any job that comes my way. |

However much you have, you always "need" more. It's a fallacy as far as i can see, money just gives you comfort, and comfort is the enemy of creativity. Mind you, short of theft, i need cash to buy paint and canvas, but i don't really like gettin caught in the trap of thinking about money because it tends to take over your thoughts. |

Yeah, having money doesn't solve money problems; you just have more to manage. |

how do you spell... "array" It depends on how your algorithm works. Perhaps the double r in the correctly spelled "array" is already converted to your "r code", ... or... each individual r requires a double regardless of it's pairing with itself in the original word... |

It would be spelled 'arrrray' |

hehe, we all need some escape, right? actually i don't really paint from life too often so i try not to let this shithole influence me too much. and you're probably getting a slightly false impression, i tend to swing between periods of really dark inky stuff and brighter stuff as well, it's just i've got no photos of the darker stuff. thanks fer noticin tho :) |

I don't like the idea that society is based on money. But that is off topic. I will however spend my life only doing things I love. I've been a paperboy but I thought it was kinda fun, and I was young and needed the cash. But in the future, when I've graduated, I will spend my time this life, doing stuff I love - if there is no job for it, I will find a way to be doing something and earn money from it. Life is too short to be spend doing things you don't like, and if you have spend time thinking about it, you will realize society as it exists today must be abandoned: cause you are not free when you have to take jobs you don't like to "survive". Fuck it. Only do things you love, you have no use spending time on things you don't like. It's just that - a waste of time. |

i just want enough to support myself, meet my basic needs, and have a little bit of money to play with on the side. nothing fancy. and i'm not so sure i need to do university/college to get that. we'll see, though. things get silly sometimes. |

Ummmm. Methinks one should seriously consider school... cause otherwise you might end up with some shitty minimum wage job that doesn't offer enough hours, and end up squating/couch surfing cause you can't make rent. |

I've always figured you're NEVER safe as long as you're working for someone else - Doesn't matter what job you've got, you could always be made redundant at 38 or something and be utterly screwed! Like they say, you can never get rich working for money, you have to make money work for you... I could never work a regular job again, there are too many other possibilities! |
