Definitely interesting work, but I don't think I have what it takes to do that job. It would be cool to get paid to essentially steal stuff though. ;)

I wish I went into education. I kinda did it with the corporate training thing but it was missing the best part..... summers off.

It's never too late! I'm doing all this schooling for secondary-level education. Though I'd rather go for university level...eventually.

That was my dream ( University level ) and luckily i was able to get it done --- my dad was a great believer in higher education . . I spent lots of time on campus with my dad as a kid and loved it, so it was easy for me to identify at a pretty young age what i wanted to make out of my life

University level would be the ultimate goal. Someplace like U. Vermont where they have a DI lax team to get involved with and close to the skiing and such.

The dude at the mini-mart across the street has been a cashier since high school and he's now in his 50s and manages the store..seems about as simple as it gets..yet there is stress when the place gets robbed. I always thought about going the Wall Street route when I was in college but Junior year, I went with the Finance club and visited Goldman-Sachs, Bear Stearns, Morgan Stanley and NBC(owned by GE) who hired alot of new graduates back then...when I heard about the hours people put in I decided to go a different route..
