Re: Swifty

well, everyone knows that 08 Evo GSR's suck, but besides, that we're really nice.

And as for the attitude about jobs, My response to TheBlizzard was based on my opinion and my reaction to your comment, and the pretty negative vibe I got from it. I am just disappointed by how employers search for, interview, and hire new employees. Maybe it's because they never hired me and I resent them for that, but maybe there is something more to it. 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 just want to be able to afford my own house and a new car without borrowing a grip of money to do it.

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 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."
