To extend the good times we have with school friends for as long as possible before we afflict ourselves with too many responsibilities and become slaves to the system and surrender to the slow and inevitable march to the grave.

god yeah.. It's got to the point where i'm wanting to work at a universiry to give the illusion of being forever youthful lol

^ It stops working after your mid-20s.

For me, it was because I could and because I love learning shit and I'm good at it.

As for the subject: I didn't get into Med School, which at that point was what I loved, and then chose something that had some overlapping subjects.

Money has been important and is still important. If I want to do what I love, I can be sure that I won't be making a lot of money. I will be able to live comfortably, though.

Experience has taught me that I can't be happy in a good-paying job if I hate the actual work. I'm too...sensitive for that. I really do need to love what I do.

The future is full of thrilling possibilities.

I've been working for the same University since I was (counts on fingers) 24. I think I'm qualified to pronounce on the former, but not the latter
