If you don't mind me asking..........

what jobs do alot of the people on these boards have? as you all seem to have sweet rides and I was wondering in which direction I should lead my life to live like a lot of the people on these boards do!!

I would especially like to know what the people with the new SL's do.

Thanking You

Zishan

I would be willing to bet that the folks who frequent this forum and who own MBs do not necessarily have "occupations" in common. What I hope and think most of us have in common is a pursuit of excellence in whatever we do (not that we always achieve it!!). If you pursue excellence using all the talents with which you are blessed and care for those around you and yourself, you will be happy, the most important goal I know. While the rest (owning an MB, wealth, etc.) is not really important comparatively, it is a byproduct of the effort at excellence and caring. Go for it!!!

i'll second that.

follow your heart. Find what you like /love to do and go for it with abandon. There may be those that can grind away in a job they don't like but I can't imagine a worse hell.

there is no MB in the world worth being miserable for.


and BTW take care of getting a good solid diverse education. to quote my alma mater Learn to Learn. your career may change many times during your life and your education shouldn't end when you get the slip of paper.

good luck

Here's a small bit of advice:

Do NOT go into project management in the telecomm industry. It's a sure way to become a Kia lover!
