Thanks.
I get 25 and in 4 years I'll get 30. You just have to work for the right company.
As you get older you'll notice that extra money you make from working at a workplace that is giving you only 2 weeks of vacation and expects you to work 50+ hours a week means less and less. As you are getting closer to death the utility of the money you make goes down. A company that makes you take time away from your family is not worth it.
Work is fun and is great but that is a hobby. My family is my real focus in life and I will do all I can to spend as much time with them.
I am just saying that you can find places to work that is not a startup (if you don't want to expose yourself and your family to that risk), you just have to look.
