Now, to recap.. She is barely not a student. She hasn't aced her boards yet. And she got a job making about three times as much as I do at my suck ass job..
I think this college thing may be worth a shot..
Anyway, I am HAPPY. Her working and making good money, shall allow me to go back to school, and learn to do something useful, and be a contributing member of society. It also means moving to north Georgia is definate.
Now, what shall I go to school to learn?

But I think i wanna do something that makes money too.
If you don't love the idea of nursing, you'd hate it.

Bah, teachers don't get paid very well. I have heard that Nurses get paid to move and live in areas of high demand.
Be PT nurse then.

Yeah.. I thought about this.. but then I realized.. i'm not an 18 year old who has time to waste in life anymore. I'm almost 30, and need to pick a direction. Business is no longer a viable major course of study, because so many people study it alongside thier main course.
Remember what happened when IT was what everybody went to school for? Thats what happened to business back in the late 80's. So nowadays, if you dont have some business and computer skills, you cant get a job paying shit outside of the military. (No offense to the military folks we have here.)

Teaching is like what Pved said about Nursing: If you don't love the idea of it, you'll hate it. It's got some good perks sometimes, (I can get into Museums for free, and have a permanent 10% discount off any bookstore!) but the world's got enough teachers who don't like teaching.

The main thing about university, is you don't necessarily go for something that will make money--you can make money as a shoe salesman.

That's sort of almost true, but there are certainly courses of study that doom one to fairly mediocre standards of living. Try majoring in art history, for example, and tell me what your starting salary is with only a BA in the field.
As with anything, it's a tradeoff for most folks between the ideal of loving every minute of something, and putting food on the table. Some people would rather work in a given field even if it means a frugal existence; some people prefer a given standard of living even if it means a career that isn't particularly fulfilling.
So, yeah, you can be an archaeologist. . .just don't expect the same opportunities as if you'd majored in something in demand in the corporate world.

I think it's a matter of fulfillment in life, really. Eight hours a day in an office doing something you hate is just not worth it. There are a great many people doing just that, too, and they are desperately unhappy.
The art history major would probably still make more money than someone without a proper education, I might add. Even philosophers can get philosophy jobs in various corporations, making the lives of others a misery, though my guess is that those aren't entry level.

Ah, but one has to consider the scheduling breakdown of one's day. So what if you're fulfilled at work, if you spend the other 16 hours of every day staring at the bare walls of your studio apartment because you can't afford to do anything else? On the other hand, who cares if you spend your day frustrated or bored, if you have the resources to spend the other 16 hours doing whatever you want? Additionally, there's the consideration that, by making some sacrifices early, one can save enough to take up a dream career in comfort at a later date.
Trust me: don't underestimate the soothing properties of living well and not worrying about paying the rent.

Something else to keep in mind, however, is that the careers people pursue out of love tend to occupy a lot more of each day than the standard 8-hour white-collar shift.
Either way, I think the person with resources has more options for happiness and fulfillment.

Well, considering that another eight of those hours is generally spent sleeping, the eight hours at work is half of one's lucid moments, which is not an insignificant amount of time. As for who cares, I'd say the onus lies on the one actually being frustrated by the shitty job in question. Not to mention there're plenty of activities which are either free, cheap, or subsidized, and one can always find the money for one's vices. But I do agree, money can definitely buy comfort.
Though, to put things into perspective, this is indeed the later date, and is also his opportunity to take up a dream career.

ACES! Another post by Bloodsage:
8 hours is more of a blue-collar thing, but that's fine, too. So using your example, we'd have someone spending time at a job they love but living frugally, or someone spending their copious free time doing what they want, because they have a boring 9-5 job.Either way, I think the person with resources has more options for happiness and fulfillment.
That's why the rich are generally unhappy, while the poor are generally much unhappier.
