The most important thing they don't teach you in school is that you don't get paid well for whatever your passion is. Most ppl that succeed in life are born to already rich families, that can pad them until they get up and running. It's not terrible, it's just reality. Some people never even get the opportunities that we do as highly-paid "IT people"... If you're on a paper boat in a gravy stream, don't poke holes in it or you'll drown. If you're on a meatloaf mountain and you need to chew your way down to the gravy lake, don't just jump off, because then you'll drown in gravy too... We're all miserable souls looking for mashed potatoes, but sometimes there's only meatloaf, so plant potatoes and then hope it all works out. It still pays more and beats working at Cracker Barrel. ಠ_ಠ
