Well here's what I mean. I'm almost asking this more for myself than for you.

Being a father and role model is obviously important for us both. I think it's fair to say that we'd like our kids to do something they love and enjoy for a living.

However, in my case, my dream job (for love and joy) will not make that opportunity available for my kids guaranteed. So for me, I sacrificed the job I'd love for the job I need.

Of course there are other such things that go along with this. My biggest concern is my kids knowing that my job is not the one I love, yet I sell to them how important it is to do the job that you'll wake up in the morning happy to go to.

If I can give them those two things, that wouldn't be bad, not at all. However, I do not want my kids to have to absolutely kill themselves working like I have already. I'm sure that before they're born my work weeks will be ridiculous, and maybe even some when they're still babies. I'm trying to be so set financially by the time they're going to school I won't have to work so much so I can spend more time with them.

I kinda don't practice what I preach. I want them to grow up having fulfilling lives with a lot of fun and happiness. However, mine wasn't that way, but that's just to get them their chance. It's a sticky situation for me.

Well, for college, I'd like to have an apartment. I don't really need anything big {Except for my closet XD}. It's a it pointless, in my opinion, cause I'll basicly be out most of the time like in classes, and study outside... somewhere XD like somewhere with not that much noise and it's windy. And... not have my parents close, but for them to still send some money over :p and... of course I want to be with someone, but I'm not letting anyone or any emotions get in the way of me graduating. I also would like to get a job at one of the best stores ever, Saks Fifth Avenue! ...[but that's like a part-time job cause I wont be receiving much money to make it as a living, duhhhh] XD
