eco-fool
i keep mulling over this stupid, stupid, inspired idea of returning to school to get another degree/grad degree in polsci to be an environmental lobbyist, or something like it. i'm experiencing what i would correlate to baby fever in females, only much more masochistic, to prove to dad i'm not a fool... maybe i just need to change my a.c. filter. things don't feel natural or settled as they should.

Sounds like a noble pursuit, but realistically, what kind of job market is there for being a good guy? Don't all the idealists want to lobby for good causes?
(I think right now I might just be the voice of Satan, so ignore freely.)
But you'll be competing with other idealists, just with trust funds, who won't be carrying $40K in debt and can earn the $20K a year without going further in debt.
well then i'll live in debt and be a poor miser who can sleep at night and not regret wasting his life. i am an idealist and aware of reality, and while "fighting the good fight" may not make a difference, it's still worth fighting. the means in themselves are the ends; the only time criminality triumphs is when good people cease to act. fight the fights that need fighting. and really, i could give a tinkler's fuck about money.
thanks for the suggestion mik, i'll keep that in mind. actually i went to the coastal conservation association of louisiana annual banquet this past thursday. they auction off items to raise money (plus open bar ;o). it's a good time.
it's funny really -- my boss is the fisher/hunter type, taxidermy on the walls of his office, which i'm not down with at all. but he's a member of the cca as well. it's nice to find common ground with people of differing political mindsets.
