wait... MZ is PNX?

Naw, I think he's referring to the PnP RPG he's working on.
Since it would be the BEST OF ALL RPGS AND THUS MAKE DECIDING ON ONE EASY

Facepunch: The RPG

I might have to disagree with you when you say picking a career path/major shouldn't be about doing what you love. That runs counter to everything I've learned in life. I'm by no means a stellar example of financial success... but the challenge and reward of working for the local wildlife rescue (despite the minimum wage), or the satisfaction I feel doing work I both love and am well-equipped for, despite struggling through meager times to get here, have more than made up for it.

On a similar note, I may not be able to artfully combine my Anthropology and Biology dual majors into a well-paying or prestigious career, but I love to be able to integrate their lessons into my human experience. Having the language to understand and draw paralells between the evolution and working parts of organs and lifeforms, and the evolution and working parts of cultures and societies is something I'd not want to trade.

I know that the brand of high-mindedness that I let pilot my life is pretty unprofessional, and doesn't really translate to career success, but it's generally left me contented, and well-equipped for all the non-fiscal aspects of life. Total education, and finding love in your work, is vital to my model of life success.

EDIT: I should add that I liked the sound of most of your proposed seminar, and it sounds like it could really make a difference in the lives of young folks stepping into the uncharted waters of collegiate life. You do have a lot of great entrepeneurial ideas, and should totally carry more of them out.

All I know is working 40+ a week doing something I hate isn't worth it (unless it leads to really early retirement).


There was a period in my life where I woke up every morning filled with dread, hating what I'd have to go through yet again. That's not a life worth living.

[Pnx]

I really wish I knew what to do with myself in terms of career. I guess I just have to get out there and try things?

[Skyrunner]

I want to hear your seminar or at least a transcript if you produce it, Truean. I've only learned up to E. It would be really useful I think.

Me too.

Scotland is set to become the first part of the UK to introduce gay marriage after the SNP government announced plans to make the change.

Not exactly the part of Britain I expected to do this first.  +1 to the land of the kilts.

[Darvi]

Not much of a surprise, the Scots would do anything to distance themselves from the English.

so now we've got to go out and find a tabletop RPG to play, preferably one that has free or cheap sourcebooks.

Got any genre/setting/rules style direction you want to take that in?

Honestly, I have no clue, I have some preferences, but I'm not picky about setting/genre/rules.

I went ahead and made another thread dedicated to this.

Oh my God, Phoenix Wright is an amazing series. I've heard good things about it but never got around to trying it out. Not only is the music awesome, the dialogue is excellent and all of the characters (including the villains) are interesting.

[Aklyon]

Most of the villains will have a hilarious breakdown at least once per trial if you break enough arguments. (not the lawyers, the other guys. the opposing lawyers will just be silly.)

[freeformschooler]

Possibly the most hilarious one.

[Trapezohedron]

You haven't played Phoenix Wright until now?! D:

...Well, at least you finally did get around to playing it.

On another note, finished my Accounting assignment. Feels good to be back on commission, after 3 days of sickness and lack of grades. >:D

Thank you. Hopefully others will share your views and I might actually get some business out of it while I'm wishing .

Granted, but living broke is far worse than doing a job you hate. Money may not be "everything" but try living without it....

Feel free to disagree with any part of it including the work area part. I don't know how you do it man. I mean, how on earth do you live on minimum wage after college? Worse, what if nobody is hiring in that field? I got accepted to a couple of medical schools and would have probably liked being a doctor, but frankly med school was even more expensive than law school....

If you plan things out right you can end up making alot of money if you pick the right profession. You don't NECESSARILY have to hate it.

Happy medium, guys, happy medium.
