Do you have ANY ambitions? What reason do you have to even wanna work a job?

[/ QUOTE ]

Good questions, I might need another beer before I get really philosophical, but I'll give it a go. I guess my main goal is to be happy. The money allows me to satisfy material ,and bodily needs. However, I feel there is a third aspect to happiness, maybe call it "spiritual needs". To feel like you've given back to society, helped other, acheived things on your own, etc... So I guess I feel obligated to work or volunteer to fulfill these needs. Politics is always a traditonal "job" to pursue once you have money. It's something I'm strongly considering as it seems like it could be rewarding. I also fall into the mindset of viewing money making as a game, with the size of the bank account as the number of points you have scored. I trade a lot of stocks and options and will probably enter finance once I get out of college ... You could say I have an ambition to increase the number of points in my score for its own sake...
