Yeah, but only because I refuse to work for someone else once I get older.

Hopefully my boss will will me his company when he dies (He doesn't have any kids).

hell yeah... i'm a 3rd year student at ucla (20 yrs old in about 18 days) and i don't know WTF i'm going to do with my life/future. I just did a 360 and changed my major from chemistry to math-econ... i've thought about almost everything, and at this point, i haven't ruled anything out... i figure by the time i'm done with college, they'll have ruled me out, so i'm stuck with one profession or something... hopefully i can find something i'm good or decent at which i enjoy. Right now, i'm worknig at an insurance brokerage as a clerk, doing all the stupid things that don't require any knowlege, but next year, i'm looking to get an intern at an ins. company maybe as a claims rep or something...

I'm gonna get it for this one.
I work as a Life Guard with Sazzytroy. Hes the one that watches the hot girls but I'm the one who actually talks to them and gets their numbers!HEHE! I'm just messin with ya Troy. I spend as much on my car as I can but I still like buying things other than car parts. Like the swords I ordered last night. Oh I can't wait to play with those. I'm starting my own company once I can get a business loan. It'll be a parts store, with an underside and perfection on selling FC parts to my homies here. Then I'm gonna race and go to college. The college and the business and racing will be going on together. I'm gonna oduble major in business management and marketing. Then I'm gonna do a graduate on the side for comp sci, and maybe a mechanic tech too.

Glad I'm not the only one without much of a clue.
I've thought about opening a race shop that doesn't suck *** around here, but I'm definitely not a mechanic, heh. But maybe one day i'll buy BNR, heha.

i used to be, but not really anymore. i have a few places i could go to for jobs if i needed it.

right now i'm not really doing anything, the dealership i was working for (parts manager) got sold and our jobs went away, that job sucked so much i was happy when it was over.

I used to be a Service Manager for a chain of Computer Retail Stores here in Ontario, but the money was **** and after five years of bitchy freak'n people who have no business owning a computer yelling at you; I decided to pack it in. Now I'm a Service Tech. at a major power tool company (Porter-Cable/Delta/Devilbiss Air). Working at the head office here in Canada kicks ***. Really good sallary, benefits, bonuses. I put $3000 into my car within 2 months, but now that I'm buying a house I've got to sell it. I have a big morgage ahead of me (damn wife). After I'm in my house and I get an idea of my month to month I'm buying a 3rd Gen. Oh yeah baby... FD for me!

Just finished 6 years in the Air Force... damn glad to be done with that. Now I'm a poor Mechanical Engineering student. Financial Aid and the GI Bill go into my 7... I like the idea of Uncle Sam paying for my baby! MMMMMMMMM....RX-7

I do carpentry, should be starting my apprenticeship soon. Making $9.50/hr CDN at the moment. Work 40-50 hours a week.

$400 CDN a month goes towards rent and car payment, the rest pretty much goes into my rex.

Your monthly bill seems low for rent, car payment, and insurance. Do you live in a box or something? Man, I'd love to be able to live for that cheap.

I live with my parents and they try to charge me rent. but thats not going to happen, since i always have to spend my days off babysitting.

Finishing school and doing Co-ops. Get paid way to much money to do what I'm doing. Really, I shouldn't even be surfing the net at work...but if they don't give me work I need something to do Oh yeah it's vehicle development and I'm working on my mechanical engineering degree. I put about 2k aside per year and my tax refunds if I don't need the money.
