[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 160453, member: 1957"] tasky- I will rescind any perceived anger in my initial post. I agree with Brownmonster. If it comes out of your check then you never see it and learn to live on what your check actually provides. BM is right.......the savings appears small at first but once it gets "rolling" it will snowball. You are in a very enviable position right now. I know you don't need a "father" but here are some suggestions from a person that wishes he had it to do over again: -if you can get tuition reimbursement without going into PT management then go to school for a marketable skill. A "marketable skill" may be defined as one that won't get "outsourced" to India in the near future and will probably be "service" oriented instead of "product" oriented. -considering PT management? Look around and see if all the PT supes aren't working harder than you are right now and ask yourself. "is it worth it?" -you can go into PT or FT management anytime. Don't let the company stroke your ego and lure you into it. Stay the course and get your degree....it stacks the deck in your favor. -when you reach the legal drinking age be careful. Party less and study more. It's easy to get caught up in the social scene (chasing the girls) with your buddies. -don't succumb to the glitter, gloss and dollar signs of going into package cars like alot of us did. Where are we now?........just hanging on, hoping to reach "retirement" .......whatever that might be. You seem like you've got your head on straight. Make wise decisions. GOOD LUCK! - [/QUOTE]
