Well done, greynolds, well done. Your post and the ideas presented in it will live in infamy. For years the response of "Free Trip!!" will plaster LCD screens all over this great planet of ours.

My only advice to you? It's grown up time, kiddo. You have made decisions that necessitate time, effort and/or money. No one owes you a thing. You must earn or pay for everything you get in life. So take the overwhelming response you are getting in this thread as some free focus group advice and change your thinking quickly. It will serve you well in your career. Best of luck.
