exactly. some peopke just like their jobs that much. success isn't always defined by how much money you make. I've redone my website. Go to www.dr-ew.com. I kept a lot of the old stuff, and I've added some new stuff. Look for more new stuff in the coming weeks. | | |

If I ever won the powerball (even the base jackpot) I would leave my job and make it available for someone else who needs it. anything between 500k and 3 million after taxes and I would keep on working, although I may find a job closer to home... and under 500k, business as usual. If I ever won a big jackpot, like tonight's PB... not only would I leave my current job, but I would open up my own business and create some jobs that pay fair, family-sustaining wages with great health benefits... Playing more than one ticket per game is betting against yourself. | | |

Yeah definately. The last job I had I loved the work. It was a challenge intelectually, and the people I was working with, both fellow employees and customers were a blast. But the people in charge treated us like dirt and sent our jobs to India and Canada. I finally couldn't take it anymore, couldn't take the stress and abuse so when the opportunity came to quit and go back to college I jumped for it. I kind of kick myself because had I waited another 6 months I would have been laid off and could have collected unemployment while going to school. No way would I keep working with a lottery windfall. Like Hypersoniq I would look to create opportunities for friends and family. Spread the wealth. | | |

at least you are improving your chances of getting a good job in the real world. I've redone my website. Go to www.dr-ew.com. I kept a lot of the old stuff, and I've added some new stuff. Look for more new stuff in the coming weeks. | | |

anyone who won more than a 1,000,000 net and goes back to work is a moron. You could agressivly put the money in corporate bonds or junk bonds that pay over 10%. That would mean 100k a year.
The people who win and go back to work are ignorant people who don't know any better.
Makes me mad when I see these stupid people
billy joe bob you just want 200 million what are you going to do. first buy a house and i'm not going to quit my job.... f_that!

I'm beginning to wonder, honestly. So many people I know with degrees aren't doing any better in the job market now days then those without. Used to be there were a few degree choices that were sure things. But now, not so much. I'm racking up fantastic ammounts of loan debt to do this, I guess I would feel better about it if I had high confidence of landing a good job when I graduate. But I have no confidence at all in that happening. | | |

well what are you studying? if it's like my major, video production, the field is constantly growing because new technology brings about new jobs. another way to get your name out is by an internship. I've redone my website. Go to www.dr-ew.com. I kept a lot of the old stuff, and I've added some new stuff. Look for more new stuff in the coming weeks. | | |
