[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So he basically wants money but doesn’t want to work hard? Isn’t that what you are really saying, OP?[/quote]

So, he’s smart? [/quote]

Wanting something has nothing to do with how smart/dumb someone is. [/quote]

Realizing at a young age that your career path affects your happiness, long-term health, ability to have a family, etc is pretty smart. He's way ahead of the kids who want to do 90 hours a week designing video games and the kids who want to bottle feed orphaned seals.[/quote]

Many people graduate wanting a ton of money for as few hours as possible. [b]  It’s not original or smart but it’s common. [/b] If you are lucky enough to find a job you love and it’s a worthwhile job you won’t be watching the clock. That’s a nice goal to have. N[/quote]

+1 I tell my kids, the goal in your 20s should be to work your ass off. Work hard, build your skills and connections, get the graduate degree even if it means doing it PT on top of a FT job. That's what puts you in a good position in your 30s to have a better choice of jobs and the reputation to let you have more flexibility to deal with life once you start having a family. [/quote]
