If I'd done more research I would have gone with a 9. More mods at a better price and the factory warranty is pretty much worthless from what I've read. Que sera.

I have gotten the distinct impression that guys like me (mid 20's male with a degree in something other than finance, IT, or health care and "no experience") are looked over when looking for what many people might consider a normal job.
I work a dead-minimum of 60 hrs/week. Sure, I can post on this forum while "working" but I can't go hang out with friends right now. Why? I'm on call and have a 5-min maximum response time on emails from monitoring systems.

I haven't seen you say anything unreasonable. You just have to put yourself in the position of employers...they aren't going to pay you $1 more than they can hire somebody else at your same level of skill/knowledge for the same job. The number of cheapskates I've seen on the forums is amazing. I'll see you guys offer some dude 50% what he/she paid for a set of rims and not feel an ounce of guilt. You expect employers to do more for you? Dream on.

Why do I spent THOUSANDS of hours doing IT work and studying in my "spare" time? It pays and I can buy pretty much anything I want (I'm single. lol). Most of the whiners that I've met don't work 1/2 as many hours as I do...they didn't go to grad school...they dont' spend their free time studying to make more money.

Is that a "problem?" No, man. I've spent so much time on my career that I'm brain-fried. I spend a lot of time thinking that guys with a better life-balance made the right choice. The problem is that *you* aren't aware that you are doing the right thing. Money isn't "free."
