Guess I fall in with the kids, mortgage, orthodontics, car payments, miscellaneous expenses crowd. The man owns me bigtime. I've survived 21 years where I am including a handful of layoffs, I don't make a huge salary, if I were laid off today I would never be hired by another company doing what I do now because I don't have anywhere near the background, it was all learn as you go. I find work is a trade off. I don't necessarily like what I'm doing now and the pace in communications technology is killer, with unreasonable deadlines and often more unreasonable co-workers, which makes it even less appealing, but I have good benefits, sick days, personal days, over a month's vacation a year, the occasional bonus, and probably most importantly to survivalat worek, a good sense of humor. I shake off the day on the drive home and walk in the door to the three reasons I put up with it everyday- - -my great wife and two girls (and a cold, cold beer or two).
