What are your goals and what are you doing to achieve them?

Do you live for your kids? Do you live for your career? Are you just working on your degree and trying to get laid?

Are you on SA for a few laughs every now and then or do you use it to while away the hours because it's all you have?

I'm not trying to get you to join a cult or anything.

Going back to school. In the fall. Hopefully sooner if fasa gets back at me

E: not that anyone cares, but I'm selling my car, paying off my credit cards in full and working a minimum wage job so I can afford something to drive to my new directional state school.

I quit working EMS so that I could do corporate training and make way more money instead. Saving up giant stacks of cash because having a pile of cash pleases me even though I know I should be putting more into investments. Dating. Being a regular person. Working out because I'm in my 30's and I'd be a giant lardass otherwise. My life isn't amazing, but it's way better than most of the world and that's what I cling to.

OP I decided night shift at the hospital wasn't my bag so I'm hoping to get on evening or day shift later this year, but other than that I really like my job. Good money and I enjoy the work. Also I am gonna take some elementary programming classes in the fall because it looks fun and my work pays for most of it. I mostly browse SA at work which is why I usually post in the middle of the night.

Got laid off of my sweet job mining and rode the unemployement train for a couple months before I took up siding with a friend of mine. He's horrible at paying me, and I need a new job. I still bounce at my neighborhood bar, but it's enough to cover some of my alcoholism because life sux lol

i dunno i'm at that point where I hate my job but the money is too good to turn down and I am in debt 350k with a mortgage so i'm kinda stuck unless I can somehow move into management which is p unlikely.

so yeah, maybe I just have to subscribe to that work to live ideal and give no shits about anything career wise and switch off as soon as I walk out the door

bad phrasing, my debt is my mortgage, which is 350k.

I mean I could sell the house and get out of debt but I can service the payments comfortably and in the next 6 months it'll be paying for itself via rental income ... but it's still debt.

I get paid a lot to do a job I'm bored with, so I do a half assed job, but it's good enough to get by. I do this so that my wife and daughter have a roof over their head. I have enough disposable income leftover to keep me sane and entertained. Most of the time it's pretty alright, but sometimes it's awesome and sometimes it's poo poo.

I'm gonna do this for the next 25 years and then retire, and hopefully by that point there will be something I'm passionate about that I can do for fun until I die or am too senile to know any better.

I teach kids science. Hopefully, they learn science, and maybe grow up to enjoy it, and maybe even will become scientists. (I have one former student who has become an actual rocket scientist and worked on both the Curiosity rover and the SMAP satellite.)

In down times I have loads of art projects, I travel with Mrs. Genesplicer, and I read lots and lots of books. I also build models (plastic and paper) and do woodworking from time to time. I write occasionally, and am currently working on an art project that will end up being like a Grail diary. Plus I drink alcohol and sleep in a nice bed.

I'm doing 2 graduate degrees concurrently and watching the best years of my life slip away because of a presumption that working like this now will make the future more tolerable. The irony is that I've been telling myself this for 14 years and the future never seems to come.

What are you doing graduate degree wise? That poo poo takes a long rear end time to pay off even in the best of scenarios if you are doing research.

I'm trying to figure out whether a standard MBA or a masters in public health is a better choice right now.

I'm doing a PhD and an MD. It's not even a combined program, it's a PhD at one university and the MD at another.

Cost isn't an issue, I'm not American; PhD is free and MD is about $9,000 per year.
