Re: Having a \"Real\' Job

It usually depends on what kind of job you are giving up. Most people aren't giving up careers or high ranking positions. Most are people who have just graduated or left school, have only just started their career or work menial jobs.

Precisely! My first job out of school I made $25k a year. That was $12.50 an hour. But that was a critical job that afforded me the opportunity to be where I am today.
That is why it is my opinion that those 'low-ranking' jobs are more important than a 'high-ranking' job. That is where you learn everything. You are paid many times over in experience. Plus, those jobs are made for young people. You don't see people in their 30's starting as financial analysts.
I work in finance for a private equity group.
