Quote:someone please explain the allure of math or accounting
I was never a huge fan of math, but being able to figure out numbers quickly in your head does have it's advantages over having to work them out on paper all the time - since I'm in the market for a new house, this has really come in handy (esp. in dealing with real estate agents)
As for accounting, if you like numbers, it's a decent career. I'm not overly pleased with it, but at the time it seemed like a solid career to go with. Originally I was a CompSci major, but the market was super-competitive then, and business careers were looking better. The irony (for me) is I've learned more about computers in my spare time since I graduated than I learned about Accounting while I went to college and worked on the job. I've been mulling a career change as of late, but I'm finding it very difficult to set time aside to go back to school to get what I need under my belt.
I'm doing OK and I'm making a decent salary - I have friends who need work desperately but can't find anything - and considering I was on the same path that they were on, I think I'm doing allright :-)

you gotta be in it to win it.
i buy one everytime i happen to be in a store that sells one on a given day. i usually buy only 1 or 2, its just the idea that, hey its only a buck or two and who knows, maybe today is my lucky day.

My father in law plays it every day, and he's convinced he's gonna hit it - the man is 74 years old, and has been playing it forever. He's won a few times, but never the jackpot. He's also one of those guys that sends in the Publisher's Clearing House forms, the "Dream Sweepstakes" deals, etc. I don't see the allure of gambling at all, whether its Lotto or Vegas. I work too Damn hard for my money to give it away on a dream.
