Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 4m 25d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 27/09/12 03:04 AM Share Posted 27/09/12 03:04 AM (edited) The truth of the matter is Jet.. Once you start caring more about job satisfaction over money.. You've basically decided what you want in life anyways..EDIT: But what Senna said makes sense.. However Jet doesn't seem to be pinching pennies to survive.. Edited 27/09/12 03:05 AM by Sharp Dressed Panda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a mechanic?Cars are awesome at the moment, cause you ran a 10, XR6's are the flavour of the month, yada yada. But the novelty will wear off.The main reason I left my last job was I couldnt see myself going any higher, no more challenges. Nothing to make me stop, think, and say "sh!t, how are we gonna get out of this one" Where I am at the moment I get those "sh!t how are we going to get out of this" moments nearly on a daily basis.
