Ranjas you may agree, but I think you may have misunderstood me. Working in a restaurant is not what I had in mind either. I work in a restaurant at the moment to, part time during school, and if I ended up like the older guys there I wouldn't be happy either.

What I meant was you need to find the happy medium between making money and being satisfied with your life. I was in my third year of commerce this year, and halfway through the term I realized I hated every class that I was in. It dawned on me one day in the middle of Financial Accounting that, "Hey.. I really do not want to make sure balance sheets add up for the rest of my life.. I'll go crazy". And if there's any accountants here, sorry to bash your profession but I'd rather stay in the restaurant.

This term I transfered into Phys Ed, and in 2.5 years from now I'll have a Bachelor of Phys Ed, and I can play basketball with high school kids for a living. That is my ideal perfect job.. stay in the gym all day and get paid for it. I'll coach football, soccer and hockey too. Maybe start a wilderness club and do a few weekend camping trips. Not to mention June, July and August..

That is my happy medium. What's yours?
