General education - was RE: [sdiy] Horowitz/Hill

[Brousseau, Paul E (Paul)]

Prosperity was definately on my mind when I made my "career choice" (around age 14).  It occured to me that I had two interests... the "arts" (movies, music, etc.), and computers.  I figured that I could make enough money working with computers that I could reasonably support my interest in art.

It's worked out fairly well so far, save for that going into debt thing.  But I'd be in debt either way I went.  :)

While prosperity is oriented in a financial sense, the definition also
contains such words as "thrive" and "flourish" which are not strictly
financial. If the pursuit of financial reward produces spiritual, emotional
or artistic poverty, you'll be in for a doozy of a mid-life crisis.
