365 days in Oregon

I clicked on an intriguing banner ad on NYTimes.com and found
this Travel Oregon site with a cool Ajax splash page. It gives you detailed information on all the activities (in a very attractive layout!) and lets you create a travel journal.

My brother lives in Oregon - I'm going to visit next month - and I'm totally excited to find some fun activities to do with the kids. Too bad the pirates arrive after I do, ARRRRR!

Working can't be this bad...coz this is worriying me. Im in college now, for a 'proper education', but if it sucks, whats the point?

LOL! You meant to post this under "Servitude Sucks!" right?

You're right, work isn't terrible, I'm just in a phase. It's so much easier than school but there are times (believe it or not) that you'll miss school.

A little advice:
- Find something you like to do and won't mind doing for eight hours a day.
- Change jobs every 1-2 years and always get a promotion when you do.
- Get experience in as many different industries as possible, unless you know exactly which ladder you want to climb.
- Ask for more money every six months and be prepared to say why you deserve it (and you will).
- Put as much in a 401k as you can afford. Do it early before you get used to the money.
- Always take all of your vacation days.
- Use your sick days.
- Realize that your work does not define you.

A great book to read about finding out what your talents are is "Now Discover Your Strengths" by Marcus Buckingham.

Good luck!
