I agree. It came with a lot of hard work and studying and they still pay me by the hour (so it's not really a salary, per se). The reason I'm so willing and ready to leave, however, is because of the hospital administration. They don't like me very much and to be able to tell them that I'm retiring (hopefully) at 32 after five years on the job would be the sweetest thing I could think of doing any time soon. Trust me when I say I will definitely be donating profits to places and people that could really use the money. In fact, I was considering giving my soon-to-be-former place of employment (a hospital) a hefty sum so they could use that towards providing better services for our patients such as new TV's for the patient lobbies, clothing for those without it, and anything else they could think of to better the experience for the patients. As much as the administrators don't like me (for reasons I still don't know), I would love to be able to give back to the job that has given me the opportunity to be where I am today (I'm an RN by the way).
I sincerely wish you the best in your investments. I love nothing more than to share the happiness and opportunities that are right before our eyes here. I was just telling my girlfriend that one of the best things about the stock market is that there is ample opportunity for everybody willing to take the chance. My taking more shares doesn't necessarily mean I'm preventing someone else from doing so - it's a win-win for all. To be a part of something so large on this scale is truly a game changer, a life changer.
Best wishes to everyone here and may you all find what it is that you seek!
