Anyone doing anything interesting?

Oh I've got a shitload of stuff to clean up in the backyard. And I've gotta start preparing for these last two classes in my MBA. Probably have to do some reading on international finance this weekend, so taht should be fun.

I'm going to watch the draft as much as I can get away with and maybe spend some time cleaning out the garage.

I lead an exciting life.

Have to write my 10-page soci final paper, and watch the draft as much as possible.

Try not to get alcohol poisoning. Then do the most work I have ever done in my life.

I'm still in Atlanta working on a big project for my company.. I've got 83.25 hours logged so far this week, and I'm working tomorrow and potentially sunday as well.

Hoping to just finish it up.

My first graphic novel is being released April 29th, 2008.

(Shameless Plug!)

Amazon.com: City of the Lost Souls: Vampress Girls 1: Jacy Nova,Nick Nova: Books

Hopefully it sells well and we can get our toy deal and/or animation deal. Then I can live comfortably for a couple years.

P.S. If you look up my pen-name, Nick Nova. You get tons of Porn goodness on Google Search.

I know you work in strategic consulting, do you do M&A advising?

Consulting and Banking jobs don't pay overtime.

they make a lot of money though, yeah?

Starting salary right out of undergrad around 55K/year with a 45K bonus, so around 100. Goes up, on average, around 5-7K/year after that.

After three years, you go back and get your MBA, then you start right out of business school at the ripe age of 27 as an associate making 250K/year. Yearly salary will go up anywhere from 5K in a bad year to 30K in a good year with promotions.

So, yea, if you work hard and aren't a moron, you're going to make boatloads of money. But working 95 hours a week in the prime of your life hardly seems worth it when there are other career paths which leave people much happier and allow you to make almost as much money.

I don't need to be making over a million per year to be happy. 250K would do it.

Well, you can make a lot of money different ways too... No?

Yep.

Hence why I want to work as a strategic financial consultant in a Washington governmental affairs firm.

You of all people should know it isn't a stretch in the least for me to get that particular position.
