Shwooooops, missed the whole 'archiving' thing and whatnot... anyhow, let's reflect, shall we?   This last year has been pretty interesting. And by interesting, I mean

Define "big dumb life." Also, I just rode for four hours with a college-bound 19-year old. He kept asking me, "So what's your plan now? Now that you're done? No, now

Scrotor in Status Report, 2010, about +15Y ago:
Lol, I had a quite similar experience with a 19-year old. I'm convinced that adolescents at that age are ambition machines. They'll eventually realize the error of their over-reaching soon

We should cite this in response to their ambition. Or just remind them that mo' money, mo' problems.

Some days all I want is to live and work on a farm in a sunny place with people I like and just till fields all day and then take afternoon naps and swim in rivers and eat porridge and sit around

I like the former: "Don't get a job unless you can make $75k a year, kid. Otherwise, you just ain't gonna be happy."

CapitolZebra in Status Report, 2010, about +15Y ago:
while I do agree that you probably won't be happy with a job paying below that, if that were the motto to live by, I don't think anyone would have a job once they graduate college. haha.

It's amazing how even that sort of life actually would get old after a while. Any time I have had a period of time where I am not working or at least working towards something, it is

why would we let the ambition stop? I still look for the next thing to do once I've completed a goal. FE exam, UAA classes, which then evolved into an MBA program, the Leadership Anchorage

Scrotor in Status Report, 2010, about +15Y ago:
That's a good question, I guess. And I think the answer boils down to the fact that we've already accomplished many things, and it becomes ever harder to top what you've already done.

kitacek in Status Report, 2010, about +15Y ago:
yknow, I almost bought the argument that it gets harder to top what I've already done, but then I remembered that in reality, I'm just a lowly EIT who in a sense is still green behind the

Thank you Robbie, you express my thoughts much better than I ever could.   As for your debate, I think it just depends on the person. You personally seem to like putting it all on the

Oh, I understand that there is always more to learn, and that it is a good day when you learn something, but I'm more talking about more practically targetting your ambition, because

That's definitely true, and definitely a good point... I think all of our "life aspirations" or whatever you would want to call it, have all been adjusted somewhat as we've
