While I really do enjoy my job and it's within my field of study, it still frustrates me that my parents didn't tell me the WHOLE story about potential careers. All my life I was told that you HAD to go to college to make good money. What they should have said is, "you have to go to college to make good money without having to break your back." I personally know guys living in North Alabama that make 2x what I do with a GED, but they work their butts off doing it.
I make decent money, but my take home pay is about the same as when I was working for Lowes. The only difference is I have health insurance, and a 401k. The big thing is Rosemarie, and I are really good about staying on a budget. I think the thing that depresses me the most is that my wife and I owe more in student loan debt than we do on our house. I feel like I will never be able to pay this stuff off. However, I guess I shouldn't really complain since I'm pretty dang happy with how things are right now. It COULD be a whole lot worse... My dad does keep harping on me that I need to leave my consulting gig and get a job with EBSCO or AMEREX. But I think with the experience I have built I can run a lit support department and make some good cash. Hopefully. When I grow up

Yeah. So.
Awkward day. Went to TrU, picked up Rodimus (thanks, EH!), looked through some SW. A guy came walking into the isle, picked up a Slave 1. Saw the Rodimus I had was all, "Dude! Do they have anymore?!" I knew they didn't, but didn't want to say, "Well, a buddy hid one for me, so no." I helped "look" a bit more, and then he picked up a CC and lamented the absence of AV. I felt giving, so I offered to sell him the one I got yesterday. He said he did not have cash but would get me a figure to trade out. Went to grab a soda, he grabs the one next to the one I picked up, go to checkout.... but I had not picked a figure for him to trade me (?).... so walk to our cars, which were next to each other. I really cannot say way, but I was getting creeped out a bit. Not like he was ghey, or the situation was, but creeped out. Shut up, I cannot explain it. Handed him the AV, he said, "Well I was gonna get that Transformer for you, I don't have any cash...." So 30 excrutiatingly awkward seconds later, I said, "Okay, yeah, so enjoy." And I left. Out $7 for the AV, but I do not care, I just left. Guh.
