The Storm looks so much more impressive to me when I see it in motion rather than just pics. I am geniunely excited for this now and can't wait until it comes out.
PS High school and college "guidence" counsellors are almost always tools. I don't know anyone who listened to them about what they should become.
25k a year? You might need to research this a little more.
Honestly, I just threw that number out there as a "they don't make d|ck" number. So, as you requested, I did some research. I found a number of jobs listed for "Academic Advisor". Looks like the median pay is around $37K. So, I was wrong about the number and I apologize for putting an exact figure without doing the requisite research but, in the area I live in (Washington DC Metro area), $37K/year...still ain't D|ick. For $37K/year you're living in an apartment or 2 BR condo, with a roommate.
The only education I have is a HS diploma and I make more than twice that.
