As someone just finishing highschool, this is very disheartening.
Dude, 5 years of college, 2 years of working, and 3 years of law school. I don't wanna hear it. Nobody says you have to pursue higher education, but whatever you do, go for it and no regrets!
Congratulations on the Law School finishing. One of my cousins finished last year, and it was definitely rough right after, but things seem to have gotten much better now.
Tonight will consist of drinking, being merry, and whoring (if I'm lucky).
Little tip: If you want to ever be lucky re:girl taking you seriously? You might want to watch what comes out of your mouth. "Whore" is pretty much a jerkface way to refer to anyone. Sexist and obnoxious to the max!
Apologies, I did not mean to start anything here. I would never say something so base, derogatory, and obnoxiously revolting like that to anyone, ever! I was mostly saying that stuff in jesting tone and did not mean to come off like a jerk.

Oh wow. I got a call back from a place I interviewed for, and they made me an offer. I accepted it!
A little backstory: So, I work for a Swiss bank, and have been for a little over a year. It's a very secure job, but incredibly corporate. And, well, we still support IE6. Last week, one of our developers (the only other awesome techie dude in the office) left for another job. I then learned that the lead developer's contract was running out, and they hadn't negotiated an extension. If the lead dev left, I'd be pretty much alone, working with a bunch of corporate biz-dev people. Not very fun.
So I've been interviewing around the past week or so, and found a small company that seems pretty techie. They're right next to a nice park in Williamsburg, so my commute would literally be 10 minutes. They're also making me an actual employee (instead of a contractor), so I'll have healthcare, 401k, and PAID TIME OFF FOR PAX. I start in two weeks.
tl;dr I've been in a funk with my current job, but I'm got hired by a small web shop and everything will be fantastic forever.

Edit: Everyone should be jelly. Shit, even I'm jelly.
Also, we offered you some of the cheese fat soaked paper towel, you didn't want any.
