I also can't believe figures like "80 hours a week" and "20 hours a day"... The real wealth is time and freedom, not money
I can absolutely identify with this,

The things that I'm really passionate about - music, movies, entertainment, people, are not exactly a gate to "solid \ regular living" although I'm trying to translate at least a bit into copy writing and drafting effective sales presentations for my sites.

It's also in contradiction to my original education (cybernetics), when I was 18 I just chose what seemed like a pragmatic choice, never had problems with advanced maths or more creative stuff like say artificial intelligence, but hated the geeky stuff like microprocessors and all that semi mechanical crap.

It just doesn't excite me at all plus 98 pct. of the students were associal, out of this world, extra terrestrial super geeks wearing two sweathers a year.

Now I should get my degree from international business next year, I enjoy that more.
