Looks like a troll post but if it's not... Life is what you make it right?

If you have spare hours in the day after work sign up for the CFA, CPA, or just go to the gym regularly. 

I'll save the rant but I found myself in a shit job (actually in RE) in my mid 20's literally using a calculator on my desk that had that printer on it like in the 80's.... and I had to use it every. day. I was lucky that I had no commitments outside of work so I busted my ass before work and after for two years and found myself to be making twice what I was two years later.
