| fkusumot said: I suppose you might consider me quite simple in my career choice. I served in the military for 20 years and then retired and took up a second career as a watchmaker. The military never paid enough to get something like a 911 convertible. As a watchmaker I'll certainly make much less than a software consultant. I can see how you would blame me for my position in life, choosing a career in the Army that automatically limited my income; and a second career that I enjoy but is not an extremely high paying job. I bow to your economic prowess: |
Ahh, playing the victim. I suppose I could do the same thing if I compared myself to a doctor, lawyer, or member of congress.
You have full heath benefits for life, a pension for life starting at the age of 38 (if you enlisted at 18), internet connection, a computer, obviously enough income to play video games or you would not be at this site, do something for a living you enjoy, and live in an incredibly beautiful state (provided you don't live in east Colorado :p)
I would say you are in the top 3-4% of the people in the world. being that that's true, why do you feel others need to pay to improve your quality of life?
P.S. I was a consultant to the military for 12 years (Kirkland AFB working for AFRL and AFOTEC)... depending on what you do, they pay very well ;)
