That's right, I think things in life are backwards. The best example I can think of is retirement. Why is retirement at the end and not at the beginning? We go to work every day for a goal that we may never achieve. Why can we not do retirement first, then spend our later years working?

The way I see it, after going to school for 20 years, I deserve a break...an extended vacation. I don't ask for much, just a few years. Give me until I'm 30, then I'll hunker down and work until I pass out. The 20's are usually when people make the most memories in their lives, but that's probably because we are old enough to know better but still young enough not to care. We should be out enjoying life to the fullest every day without the weight of a job or a career getting in the way. I think we would be much better workers when we report to the job on our 30th birthday. Besides, I think I would enjoy traveling, reading, seeing, listening, enjoying everything I could experience much more in my 20's than when I'm in my 60's. That's not to say that once we start working at 30 that we would never get a vacation. Yeah, there are some flaws in my theory, but life just seems like a backwards mess to me, and this is one proposal on how we could get more out of it.

Cheers,
Rocco

    I'm 27, I started going to school when I was 4, and I have one more year. So that's, 24 years. That's a REALLY long time. I'm with you, I'm ready to retire too!

    Don't worry, school will be over before you know it; then it'll be time to take the bar! Good luck, and don't believe the horror stories.

    Thanks for stopping by.
