Later Guys

Well guys, it has been a pleasant run- but much like Seinfeld that ended on an upswing, I will be retiring from this blogging community.
Here is my last bit of food for thought: Apply to grad school. This goes for those who have a job as well as those without. I’m currently looking at different opportunities in the business field- whether it be an MBA or an MS program- education can never hurt. In the interim, I’m almost done with a well known and respected insurance designation…which can’t hurt. Remember people of the internet- they can take away your jobs, but they can never take away your diplomas! (points to those who thought I was going to say freedom…)

Tis December

This may be a premature post since I still have a few weeks (I’ve decided not to blog next semester although it has actually been quite fun), but I’m going to leave a few tid bits of wisdom (seeing as I am all of 25 years old, I am full of it…wisdom…).
I often feel that in this world-especially in the US and in the finance industry, we all run all over the place to get ahead essentially for more money. I have in the past week come to a conclusion. Money is probably the worst reason to make a change that can exist (unless you’re talking about money you need to say, survive). If you have job satisfaction, if you are respected in your workplace, if you wake up and smile, if you’re genuinely happy in your situation- don’t give that up for any amount in the world- because trust me, it is not worth it.
I’m really running out of topics due to a complete lack of activity on your part! Next week is going to be about commuting if you guys don’t wake up!!
