Happy Holidays! Now that I got the happy part out of the way, time for the bleak stuff…I never thought about this until now, but the idea of Santa is peculiar. And, he kind of sounds like a rapist.

Passion or Salary?
At one of the schools I'm at, a financial advisor is coming in to speak to the kids. Why is it always about money? Those who make a lot of money are always the ones who come in to speak to students. What about that spark or passion? I know you can be happy as… Continue reading Passion or Salary?
