Hardly. Just because I'm 24 doesn't mean I have zero life experience. That's a huge problem of mine with older folks. They think that you can't possibly know anything until you reach their age. :roll:
We also remember what it was like to be your age. I am 31 but I moved out of mommy's house when I was 18, I have been married for 9 1/2 years and I have two kids. I am currently the Service manager for the largest builder of audiology equiptment. Trust me I have seen more than you.
Working IT for the military is not a great sucess (I was in the Navy and both the CIV and NAV guys were hit or miss) and while you say that makes you happy It does not mean that it would make me happy. Nothing wrong with that. We all define our own goals and work towards them however misguided you may think they are. I have put alot into my career and I have sacrificed my home life at times because there is something inside me that drives me to be the best at my job. I have turned down more money to go else where because I questioned if I would enjoy the job as much.
Cool :thumbsup:
I have no issue with someone offering a service that others are interested as long as it does no harm to anyone and Val giving it up for a few hundred is fine by me.
Well it's not by me so bite me!
And my only problem with your belief system is your need to talk down at those who disagree. Notice I did not talk down to you for being a closed minded fool only for your holier than thou attitude.
The funny thing Nik is that you are always is there to offer your values when anyone does something that does not fit in your little world the way you think it should. You claim to look down on Val because of her values and then claim that you would rather be happy than rich.
Is there something wrong with that in YOUR little world?
Attacking others simply because you feel you are the only one that understands the w2ay it should be? I got no problem with you doing that your little world but when you show up to play with the big boys you will be in for a shock. Those who spend there time looking at others for flaws rarely are able to see there own.
I see two people here one is a sucessful smart bussiness woman and the other is a bitter and angry young boy.
Well I'm happy that you've developed your own point of view about me, even if it is pretty twisted. However, I don't see how you can see her "success" if money isn't the only thing that means anything to you as you stated above. Care to elaborate?
