Date: December 17th, 2017 3:18 PM Author: startling idiotic space dingle berry My dad didn't want me to do a finance-related job because he thinks it's a grim grind. Strongly urged me to law instead, which he regarded as more intellectual. Me not doing LS was by far the greatest act of rebellion I ever engaged in but he were pretty chill about it because he was always explicit that he worked hard at his grind of a job in part so that I wouldn't be compelled to do the same thing. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3832183&forum_id=2#34942688) |
|
Date: December 17th, 2017 3:41 PM Author: Fishy thriller sweet tailpipe this is definitely the most bizarre advice. Just picturing a father saying "law is more intellectual" and NOT going to ls constitutes a rebellion confuses my brain. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3832183&forum_id=2#34942815) |
|
Date: December 17th, 2017 3:44 PM Author: startling idiotic space dingle berry "Rebellion" is overstating it slightly. They weren't mad about me not going or anything, but I was strongly encouraged to do law and me not going was a big surprise to just about everybody.

|
Date: December 17th, 2017 11:35 PM Author: Sadistic very tactful reading party property He's a great parent for sure. Part of me wonders whether this particular piece of advice subtly led me to the misery of law when I could have been happier doing something else. But he's probably right; I've listened to interviews where male pornstars complain about all the awful aspects of their jobs.

|
Date: December 17th, 2017 3:37 PM Author: elite ratface internal respiration It would have been good advice if it were 1970s Buffalo, which was the last time he looked for a job: 1. Don't be an engineer. They don't make any money or decisions. 2. Only acceptable majors are business, accounting, finance, etc. (which my college didn't have) -- i.e. look at it as a trade school. "How many jobs are there as an 'historian'?" 3. Only career options are accounting, law, and medicine. He saw nothing else. 4. And the boomer favorite: "You can do anything with a law degree!" |

|
Date: December 17th, 2017 3:54 PM Author: startling idiotic space dingle berry Ah, makes sense then, though I guess it's funny it has to be "hiding money" and not just putting her on a controlled budget or something. I guess the feasibility of being that open would vary from family to family though.
Also, in contrast to XO norms it was my mom who was organized and restrained while my dad is scatterbrained and makes impulse purchases. |
|
Date: December 17th, 2017 3:55 PM Author: Submissive school cafeteria I think that's probably a better arrangement, allows mom to be steward of the house while father chases whimsy. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3832183&forum_id=2#34942906) |
|
Date: December 17th, 2017 3:55 PM Author: Electric Shivering Preventive Strike Electric Furnace odd how "putting wife on a controlled budget or something" seems to have more drawbacks than just hiding the money. Odd case. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3832183&forum_id=2#34942912) |
|
Date: December 17th, 2017 3:59 PM Author: Submissive school cafeteria By hiding money you're effectively putting wife on a controlled budget but with fringe benefit she doesn't know about the other funds, which may come in handy in bad states of the world.

|
Date: December 17th, 2017 4:02 PM Author: Electric Shivering Preventive Strike Electric Furnace yeah. my point was you cant tell wife to go on a budget. they cant do that. you just have to hide money from them. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3832183&forum_id=2#34942944) |
|
Date: December 17th, 2017 4:04 PM Author: startling idiotic space dingle berry That's true, but there are downsides too: You're not having full honest communication with your spouse, she's effectively being manipulated instead of being engaged as a partner, you risk a blowup if the hidden money is discovered in the wrong context, it creates temptation for you (very easy for hidden money to become an escort fund or something), etc.
I don't think I'd do the hiding money option except as a last resort when other methods fail. |

He did tell me "just do what your supposed to do, and you wont have any problems." honestly, its not bad advice, and I'm always surprised by the amount of people who trip themselves up because they dont just stop to ask themselves what the fuck they are supposed to be doing.
Other than that, not much. when I started first law job he asked me if I had to punch in. Still, he was a 180 dude so no complaints here. |

Date: December 18th, 2017 4:31 AM Author: Spectacular Violent Hairy Legs before I graduated college it was "don't be an engineer, go into finance." this was during the bush bonanza years when any moron with a 3.0 in econ could get an ib job. turned out to be awful advice and i graduated into the worst job market in living memory.
after college the advice mostly stopped, ended up going to law school and making an even bigger mistake than my college major choice. |
