You're being sarcastic right??
Sarcastic? Yah think? It seems to me from your posts that you look down on life choices and career paths different from your own. You sound not unlike Hildabeast circa 1992 sneering at cookie bakers standing by their men.
How is a day of pencil pushing by an MBA more meaningful than a day at the Jiffy Lube? Now if you had said it was more munificently remunerative you might be on to something, then again maybe not.
A friend owns a Tire and Auto Service place. Fred worked hard, saved his money and owns it outright. The Bridgestone tire people just flew him and a group of owners to Japan for a meet and greet. Fred makes well over 120K a year, employs 10 or 12 men and women with families and he's a damn good mechanic too.
Another friend is a yard manager for a large building supply company, makes 70K year, he's worked for the company for over 18 years, started as a tractor trailer operator. In that time he supported 4 kids, a wife and her parents as well his own parents.
About 5 years he ago started over from scratch after the first wife decided she wasn't fulfilled and wanted to marry the old flame from high school. Arni got the keys to the old truck, the coupon book for the new one and a fistful of unpaid bills to go with the child support orders as the deppities supervised his departure.
When you were a puling infant my friends and I spent weeks at a time in the woods of the Fulda Gap waiting to drop a bridge in the Bear's face if he decided to come, all for the princely sum of $450/month.
Meaningful is in the eye of the beholder darlin'.
