Path to Destruction?

Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel illuminates the journey. I'm walking down a career path, and, if I wanted to, I could write out my job position and a reasonable estimate of my wage for the next 20 years.

I work as a 'professional' in a long established establishment. I, nor you, should be impressed or care. I'm a cog in a bigger machine, staring at other cogs. No-one that is successful at this job is successful otherwise. Unless a fancy car, divorce and seeing your kids every sencond weekend is success.

So, to get to that light at the end, retirement with nice things, you have to some very big hurdles. If I did the same things in the 80's at least I could have wore power suits and have a coke habit. Don't even get that these days.

Lucky for me, I have no plan.
