The deficit

The official notice is in and now it's only a matter of weeks before I wholly abandon the engineering profession to devote my soul to the devil of law. It's one of those difficult decisions that just had to be made. I'll actually miss writing code all day and hanging out with computer savvy people. Instead, I'm moving to a field filled with computer incompetents. Some people don't realize that there is more to a computer than Microsoft Word and pornography. The law profession is composed of such people. Starting this Fall, I'm making the shift to the full-time program so that I can graduate a year sooner than if I had stayed part-time. I look at it this way: one year closer to owning a yacht. I've never really left a job before (other than those stupid high school jobs) and I've definitely never changed professions. I thought I was bred to be an engineer, but the law has grabbed me by the jewels and yanked me over to the dark side...such a sad moment in history. My primary concern is money. As of right now, I don't pay attention to the money I spend. Without a steady flow of income, an important ingredient in my diet may be disturbed. Will I have to switch to cheap beer again? Nah, I'll budget accordingly.
