Re: How much is 40k a year?

The only suggestion I'll give it don't let $$$ control what you decide to do and don't worry about $40k a year not being enough. I hit that mark about 6 years ago working in the tellecomminications area and I hated it. I could of stuck with it and probably be making an easy figures by now and could have picked where I wanted to work in the US. I'm really happy I didn't go that route, worked a few odd jobs, started a business, and then found what I wanted and went back to school. Now I'm back where I want to be financialy and doing something that makes the day fly and that I actually enjoy.

Do what you want to do and if it pays good it's a bonus. You're still young enough to give a few things a shot yet and see where they lead. Hell, if radiology sounds cool, roll with it, see what happens. if it doesn't make you happy, keep it as a fall back and use things you've learned through that path to rock the next venture.

Man, I sound like a soap opera. lol

I agree that money makes people happy, it provides comfort, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to have it, it's yeilding the control it can have that's key.
