What the hell am I doing here?

[beaker]

Unfortunately I am about to complete an MBA, therefore condemning myself to corporate life for the rest of my days. What a bore...

I really just should have travelled the world with a guitar and surfboard rather than a laptop and an IT degree...

It's never too late

Unless you have children...

An MBA shouldn't condemn you to corporate life should it? I'm doing business training to get out of corporate life!

Well, you know what I mean... what else is it good for? You don't exactly need one to run a coffee shop

Mate of mine got one and is now a driving instructor, apparently its good money.

there is only cash in IT

i had the same moment of clarity some years ago

i am now completely focussed on the $$ and banking more loot

everything i do in work is geared towards increasing my rate

since i've been working like that i've actually been enjoying work more

sadly, i've realised i'm completely motivated by money - since my rate has gone up a lot over the last year- i'm a relative success and i'm feeling good about work!

i might aswell cash myself up before moving onto something more meaningful

Are you single

I'm training to build my Ltd up into a company that will run without me and that I can some day sell for a lot of money. Can't an MBA help you do something like that?

Nope lyrics are copyrighted as well.

55p plus £10,000 fine, even if you are a 13 year old single mother or granny.

Correction. This thread has had 246 views as I write.

The RIAA will now assume that 246 people are now copyright infringers. And they've got access to that den of iniquity called the internet, so must be pirating music and software.

Plus their immediate family, and all their friends, family and colleagues.

Probably the postman too.

No hope whatsoever, I'm afraid.

Beaker - I completely relate to that. Not a day goes by at the client's site without me either

a: hating wearing a suit - however well tailored it is to make me feel better about wearing one. (mostly because I'm surrounded by dull suit wearing <expletive>, and I feel like I'm in the film Brazil)

b: dealing with uninspiring, institutionalised morons.

c: surreptitiously rolling my eyes at corporate-speak in a meeting, having to stop myself yelling "What the? do you even understand anything you just said?? Speak in English, not MBA-BS."

d: listening to middle-management warble on about football in worrying detail (do these people have a life??), smiling politely at banal jokes, and being on the fringes of asinine chit-chat.

or e: longing to frisbee my monitor through one of the windows, light a cigar - setting off the sprinkler system, jump onto the desk and yell "Hey everybody - let's..." (Copyright Mary Whitehouse Experience).

But no - I do the duty of a contractor, which is to quietly chuckle as I prepare my invoices, book holiday time whenever I feel like it, feel free of the politics except when I need to get something done in the interests of my team, and marvel at how much more money I'm making with each renewal.

Take solace from the fact you realise how superficial this all is, and work on your plan B while the money's coming in.
