First to respond to just what is a real job?
I'd define that as any activity in which you perform a (legal) service in exchange for money that is reported to the IRS with the appropriate taxes.
And as for the traditional "real jobs", yes, I do eventually want a "real job", I want to eventually be a CPA or an auditor... eventually. Until then I know that I have to pay my dues, and part of that is working the evening and the overnight shifts so I have time to go to school in the morning. Kinda going into new thread territory but I wish more people were willing to work their way through school rather than accepting handouts from, mommy, daddy, and uncle sam to get through school so "they can make a difference".
Oh and I have a similar argument with my coworkers, so many of them say I should be shooting for the IC MACRO department because it pays better, and when I tell them I am trying to get into a night audit position and they point out that it wouldn't pay as much as working in IC MACRO and I point out that indeed it doesn't pay as well but I would enjoy it a lot more... and they are confused, why wouldn't I aim for the job with the best pay.
