Yeah, it sucks about the lawsuit, but what can ya do? You can't take money from where there is none. Just make sure that if you get in a wreck, the person that hits you isn't 17 with no high school degree and his parents are as bad as him.

As for my job, I am in IT. I'm far from a nerd, however (at least in my mind, but who knows). I do more high-level design and architecture. Think of it as logic thinking and presentation; that type of thing. I specialize in Storage Architechure and Backup/Recovery, but I have done anything from Cisco Networking to Systems Administration all the way to specialized IT projects. I am looking at going to back to school and getting my MBA and working through upper management. That is where the BIG bucks roll in.

As for money, I just do a very good job of managing it. I have a "way" of making it accumulate over time. It's a gift, I guess.
my father is in almost the same fielt. He is in the management part, and your right it pays ALOT MORE. lol.
