Comments on: How I Got a Six-Figure Salary Straight Out Of College http://www.onmoneymaking.com/how-i-got-a-six-figure-salary-straight-out-of-college.html Redefining the Way We Think about Money Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:07:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: RazvanC http://www.onmoneymaking.com/how-i-got-a-six-figure-salary-straight-out-of-college.html#comment-683 RazvanC Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:52:04 +0000 http://www.onmoneymaking.com/how-i-got-a-six-figure-salary-straight-out-of-college.html#comment-683 It's a great life-story, but I don't think that you are really "retirred" from doing money and- why not-working. Personaly I enjoy doing what I like very much, but I can't imagine myself doing theese things al day long, for the rest of my life. I think a greater purpose must be involved here to realy bring you the satisfaction in life. I think this is just a faze of your life, this "retirement" thing. Eventualy you will feel the need to do something usefull in life, for you and for others as well, even when you have enought money.(sorry for my english, I haven't practiced it for a long time :)) It’s a great life-story, but I don’t think that you are really “retirred” from doing money and- why not-working.

But then again let's take at look at the virtues that bring high salaries. Merely statistics. I haven't met anyone that I envy them for their salary that worked before 22. NONE! On the other hand, these highly paid people are usually the soul of the party. Social skills? Yes, indeed, but it's more that that. The most highly-paid employees are the ones who pass on their responsibility to others, as for the bosses? If you not organized at all, never pushed yourself for perfection, never listened to any advice and don't give a shit about rational deadlines then, my dears, you got all the virtues that make you a boss! I shall add to that, a little lack of morality, decisions based on instinct rather than logic and a thrust for the innovative/weird. And that is mathematically proved.

I could be completely wrong of course but from the little physiology I do no people whose lives are unfulfilled are more likely to go on the internet and create a persona of somebody that they dream to be or someone they think that they could have been. If it is true I a am deeply sorry for doubting you and would like to congratulate you on your success and also thank you for sharing your wealth of experience with us mere mortals. However I would like to add my 5 cents and remind everyone looking at your blog that there is soooo much more to life than money friends family to name a few, living your life attempting to grab the impossible is no way to live ones life even if you are able to ascertain your goals where will you be? Prehaps trying to find people to preach to online? However cruel I have seen forgive me and prove to me that the way that I want to live my life is wrong which is the fullest!
