How do you answer, when are you going to get a real job?

Unfortunately, no one has ever needed to ask me this question. I grew up poor and started working at a gas station straight out of high school. About a year after that I finally landed a job as a web developer, and I've been able to do that ever since. I've never really been without a "real" job.

One of my friends, however, once answered, "when the trust fund runs out."

Like you I grew up poor, and I don't want to say it's good experience, but I think it definitly gives you a better mindset on life. I work on a computer all day, but on the week-ends I love to get out and do physical labor.. there's nothing like the feeling of blisters on your hands from a hard days work.

and the whole "when the trust fund runs out" I think I'm gonna start using that line. :)
