I had a long talk with my dad today. I feel like I made some progress into what I want to do with myself and what I don't want to do. I was telling my dad what I figured I'd end up doing in the future and my dad gave me a lot of suggestions. In the process of describing to my dad what I do and don't want to do, I've figured it out myself a bit. That's just cool!
I don't want to be a manager. I don't want to have to order people around or try to get them to do what I want them to do. I don't want to be stuck in a corporate ladder trying to claw my way to the top. At the same time I don't want to be in that corporate system really. I want to be an expert at what I do and be able to work independently. I want to be someone that people come to and say 'hey, we need this done, how long will it take you?' And when they need things done they go 'Do you have time to do this?' instead of 'Do this now.' That type of job where I'm working on my own just getting stuff done would be the type of job I could telecommute with too. Then it wouldn't matter where in the world I was working or what language I spoke. That would be nice.
My dad told me he'd never be surprised if I ended up being the one to earn most of the money in a family. I could see myself doing that in a way. I just need to find someone who wants to pay me lots to sit at a computer and get stuff done. Any offers? I'm quite good at research in goggle! Really!
Anyways, it's nice being home.
And my parents are going to get all new carpet and vinyl throughout the house. It'll actually look presentable when David comes this summer! Weee!

That's sounds like good criterias for a job. I belive that's the right stuff for you, now we just have too try to find that job! And I have to agree whit your dad, about you making the most money in your family. And I have no problems whit you earning more then me, I figured that som guys feel, I don't know, threaten by that?
btw I think your fairy-tale hous will look presentable enough for me ;-)
Once we get new, unstained carpet and kitchen flooring that doesn't have holes in it. Perhaps. Although I don't think anything will ever look as nice as your mom's place. :P
I described your parents' place to my mom and she's freaking out about how to make the place here look nicer. ;)
