Im honestly still trying to figure that out, I know what schools im looking at, but besides that idk. I mean business degree obviously helps but past that... ehh, I was thinking about being a lawyer but I dont think I have the grades to be one, but I LOVE arguing, as some of y'all know. I hate to be wrong, thats pretty much what I have planned so far, my mother has some high-end friends aroun 25-27 that make some good money and they travel all around, which I would love to do. I just would hate to travel and leave my baby (8) at a airport most of her life ya know? I love cars too much... So thats pretty much what I have so far, its not much I know, but its a start..

Being a lawyer is great as long as you are not too pigheaded to know when you ARE wrong.

Traveling is not that bad, it is good money and you would not leave your 8 at an airport. You leave it at home and take a taxi/cab/limo to the airport and you expense it.



We need forums on the NTX website if that is going to get off the ground. However there is a NTX auto museam in plano we are likely to get confused with.

That was not the point of the website. It wasn't so we could grow, it was so that we could have a name and a place to store our history. Everything we do is based out of here.

As someone who has a number of friends who are lawyers and works with them on a regular basis, very little of what they do is arguing. Most of their job is reading a document, interpreting it, then being able to legally justify their interpretation. Very few work like you see on "Law & Order". And if you want to be a lawyer, you better love to read. And one other thing...on average, most lawyers don't make as good as money as you'd expect. Some do, but most don't.

Also sounds appealing...but I can tell you it's not all it's cracked up to be. You know how you like going to the gym regularly or making all the 8 meets or maybe being on an intramural sports team? You can kiss all that goodbye. When you travel for a living, there's no such thing as a regular home life. Your social life is a joke.

And you don't travel to awesome places like Jamaica and get to sit on the beach. You go to city, check into a hotel, go to some random office, out to dinner, back to the hotel, and repeat for 5 days til you fly home or somewhere else. It's not like traveling with your family.

Yes, the money can be good, but you better make sure it's what you want. It's just not nearly as glamorous as people make it out to be. Watch "Up In The Air" with George Clooney. Pay attention to what his apartment looks like. That's much closer to the truth than most people imagine.

Actually, they ask you to drive to the airport and park out in extended parking. It's cheaper for the company than paying for a cab. You can get someone to drop you off, but then you have to have someone pick you up. After the first time your flight home is delayed/canceled and you get in at 1:00 AM, you'll find out real fast who your friends are that are willing to come pick you up. Or, you just pay for a cab home out of your own pocket because you decided to have someone drop you off.

Just make sure you do your research. I can tell you all sorts of other reasons why traveling sucks, but I'll stop for now.

I guess I have been spoiled by my company then. Company policy is to not let anyone take their own car. You must arrange all rentals, pick ups and drop offs within the company and they are expensed. Traveling with them is not thatbad, Kind of nice actually. I got a flat amount of " location per diem" for a hotel when I went to Atlanta, Since I had friends there I chose to stay when them. Breakfast, lunch and Dinner were also expensed. Rentals to the airport from atlanta to the office there and back were covered in advanced.

It really depends on the job and the company you work for.

I tend not to use the words "babes" and "family reunion" in the same sentence. Yeah, Jew, what's up with the job??
