Earning shedloads of cash (1 Viewer)

[Bellatrix]

To what extent is this a factor in your proposed or current career path?

Does the spectre of a life spent worrying about the price of lattes ever make you consider doing a law conversion course and being done with it t'fuck?

If I had realised how important money can be earlier on I might have made some different choices. But then my career path has been determined mostly by avoiding things I hate rather than doing things I like which, in retrospect, might have been a mistake

And I realise that lattes are a prickish example but by those I really mean small insignificant daily purchases that slowly amount to an existential crisis.

define a 'shedload'

The amount required to fill a shed. The more pertinent questions would be, how big is this shed, and what denomination of notes and / or coins are to be used for the filling of same?

My father once told me I was important to have enough money to be independent and you could never be made do something you didn't agree with.

i opted for the path i thought might bring me a reasonable income and at the same time be mostly stress free and have decent enough holidays and conditions if i'm lucky.

(the dream has yet to become reality and i'm working two poxy part time jobs for a few pennies more than minimum wage)

I dunno. It depends on circumstances but, for example, a single person is going to have a pretty comfortable life on €50,000 or more. Especially if this is your starting salary.

Let's say they haven't done that and are in their late twenties faffing about with the prospect of outlandish salary bumps every year.

Is it worth working crazy hours for?

Is it worth doing soulless corporate shit for?

I guess the problem is if you jump off the merry go round are you off for good. What happens a few years down the line when you need to provide for a family. Can you do that if you follow the dream and become a yak farmer now?

I think you're more likely to succeed in a job you like/don't hate.

Well, exactly.

Should you spend your twenties working 12 hour days in the City, then go into semi-retirement at aged thirty, buy a house and some yaks and devote your time to saving the world via renewable energy and pilates?
