It's not... I respect Mistakes' views but disagree with him... I too turned down a SWA class (had just finished my ioe here) but I still think I made the right choice... In 20 or so years I'll know for sure but in the meantime I try to look around me so I can compare and I focus on positive things in my life... I know Mistake is going to hate me for saying this but overall working here has been a very positive thing in my life...

I have two close friends who have totally different personalities... One is a breast cancer survivor who is a single mom making just barely enough to pay her bills... She still manages to donate 10% or more of her pay check to her church and other charities...

My other friend was born into wealth, didn't have a job until after college and has always lived a fairly afluent life...

I love them both but my dirt poor friend is the happiest human being one can ever wish to be around (and was that way even before she beat cancer) while my afluent friend makes you think he's the unluckiest person on earth... If he were to win million dollars today he'd convince you that last week a person had won two million dollars!!! even though he'd picked the same numbers - therefore he (my friend) got shafted!

Hard to believe and I still like him because he can't change his personality BUT it can be difficult to be around him sometimes...

I guess we are all different for a reason...
