They could do nothing to stop the rots in the government and the public services. They couldn&#39;t help Wee Meng Chee even after they had persuaded Wee to apologise. The Cabinet said the law could not forgive Wee. The law could forgive Zakaria Daros and the few executive councillors who knowingly acted in violation of the law made by them, the law-makers. The law could forgive Mohd Yusof Said in the Close-One-Eye affairs. The law could forgive the hundreds who disrupted the legally organized Forum on Article 11. The law forgive and forget about the corruptors who were named in Raja Petra&#39;s websites. The law can do nothing when Khairy brought along 500 members of UMNO Youth to threatened to burn down Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall. The law... oh, the law; it was made by men, by the same parliamentarian, by UMNO, for others, but not themselves. The law, would not be used to protect the weak and the minority. The law, will and had been used to punish bloggers who expose the corrupt and exploitations.

On the one side is the Commercial Crime Division which made its move on the Chinese organised crime syndicate on the instructions of the Deputy Minister of Internal Security. On the other side is the Criminal Investigation Division that appears to be the protector of the Chinese organised crime syndicate. One wants to get rid of the Chinese organised crime syndicate and the other wants to get rid of the police officers who wish to get rid of the Chinese organised crime syndicate. And at the pinacle of this very weird pyramid is the Minister of Internal Security. Hmm.....I wonder who that is! I wonder whether the Minister of Internal Security himself is aware that he is the Minister of Internal Security. Don’t be surprised if he does not because most times he does not know whether he is coming or going.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_Y6oVWmNwtHs/RrhoA7vNa2I/AAAAAAAAAII/F_JXE_FZedc/s1600-h/BDW.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_Y6oVWmNwtHs/RrhoA7vNa2I/AAAAAAAAAII/F_JXE_FZedc/s400/BDW.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095937343614708578&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;source from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot; href=&quot;http://malaysia-today.net/blog2006/corridors.php?itemid=7072&quot;&gt;Malaysia Today&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Wow! another powerful article from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.malaysia-today.net/index.shtml&quot;&gt;RPK (Raja Petra),&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt; if what this guy said is right...then the&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;country is in real deep sh*t.

Top party leaders as well as some of Ooi’s blogger friends will attend the ceremony.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Ooi, in his 50s, is an e-business consultant but is better known for his blog which focuses on current issues with an emphasis on politics. He is also an expert of sorts on the new media.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   According to sources, the party has Ooi in mind for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puchong&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Puchong&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; parliamentary seat as well as the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Kinrara state&lt;/span&gt; seat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot; href=&quot;http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/7/29/nation/18441530&amp;sec=nation&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;story_date&quot;&gt;The Stars online, Sunday July 29, 2007&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot; href=&quot;http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/7/29/nation/18441530&amp;amp;sec=nation&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;story_date&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://someserioussht.blogspot.com/2007/07/new-dap-in-puchong.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (.)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856742790964010468.post-6501469664630488713</guid><pubDate>Thu, 19 Jul 2007 14:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-07-19T23:20:50.563+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Corruption</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Crime</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Gangsta</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Politics</category><title>&quot;Pandamaran King&quot; face 13 charges</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_Y6oVWmNwtHs/Rp97wKEFXJI/AAAAAAAAAGI/lTLBwqyNdqg/s1600-h/n_01zakaria.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_Y6oVWmNwtHs/Rp97wKEFXJI/AAAAAAAAAGI/lTLBwqyNdqg/s320/n_01zakaria.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088922171217370258&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PETALING JAYA (July 18, 2007):&lt;/strong&gt; For constructing a mansion without approval and defaulting on assessement fees for 11 years, all he got was a slap on the wrist; for serving as a senator while a bankrupt, he got away scot free.

Last year, some &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;67,000&lt;/span&gt; Singaporeans had at least &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;USD1 million&lt;/span&gt; worth of assets, an increase of &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;21%&lt;/span&gt; over the year before. &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Singapore&#39;s number of millionaires is the world&#39;s fastest growing&lt;/span&gt;, followed by India and Indonesia growing at 20.5% and 16% respectively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Lim Hong Eng/ Sin Chew Daily) reports:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;font-size:85%;&quot; &gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://e.sinchew-i.com/content.phtml?sec=26&amp;artid=200707160014&quot;&gt;Am I A Millionaire?&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;font-size:85%;&quot; class=&quot;date&quot; &gt;Updated:2007-07-16 19:14:47 MYT &lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&quot;To become a real millionaire, he must at least have a decent home, be dressed attractively, travel overseas and visit expensive restaurants frequently. Perhaps, he should also have a vacation home. Besides car, there is as well a small yacht. If he still has to constantly worry about insufficient money to lead his remaining life, then he is but a poor millionaire!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if someone takes the SGD1 million to a place where the standard of living is relatively lower, then he can really lead a millionaire&#39;s life. He can buy a mansion with only SGD200,000 and have maids serving him, and spend the rest of his SGD800,000 over the next 20 to 30 years. Then he can proudly claim to be a millionaire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alternatively, he can look for a comfortable home in the countryside or village, where there is mountain, water and sufficient food. He also doesn&#39;t have to worry about inadequate pension. He is a millionaire who can really enjoy himself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of the day, how many millionaires are there actually in Singapore? It seems that no one has the actual answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would rather not have USD1 million, but can live really like a millionaire!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;******************************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;SINGAPORE ~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;

One out of every five vehicles stolen had the keys in   it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Lock Your Car. Almost half of all vehicles stolen were left unlocked.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Don&#39;t Hide a Second Set of Keys in Your Car. Extra keys can easily be   found if a thief takes time to look.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Park in Well-Lighted Areas.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Park in Attended Lots. Auto thieves do not like witnesses and prefer   unattended parking lots.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Only give ignition/door key to parking attendant. If your trunk and   glove box use the same key as the door, have one of them changed. Don&#39;t give   the attendant easy access to your glove box and trunk. Upon returning, check   the tires, spare and battery to insure they are the same as those you had   when you parked.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Don&#39;t leave your car running unattended. Vehicles are commonly stolen at   convenience stores, gas stations, ATM&#39;s, etc. Many vehicles are also stolen   on cold mornings when the owner leaves the vehicle running to warm up.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Completely Close Car Windows When Parking. Don&#39;t make it any easier for   the thief to enter your vehicle.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Hide Your Valuables. Don&#39;t make your car a more desirable target for   thieves by leaving valuables in plain sight.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;DO NOT leave the car overnight in the Police Station.

How could he call Malaysia an Islamic state when we still have licensed casino like the Genting, lotteries like Magnum, Toto, 3+1D and Bigsweeps?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And how about draconian laws that clearly go against the tenets of Islam like ISA (detention without trial) and OSA?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does Najib know that in an Islamic state, you cannot have Sultan or King as the supreme leader of the land has to be an ulamak ( religious guru)? &quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;***********************************************************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Siapa betul dan Siapa B.S. ?!?&lt;br /&gt;It is up to reader them self to make their own judgments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://someserioussht.blogspot.com/2007/07/malaysia-is-islamic-state.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (.)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Y6oVWmNwtHs/Rp25a6EFW6I/AAAAAAAAAD8/elWgnboIVOo/s72-c/najib1.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856742790964010468.post-551907803747384920</guid><pubDate>Tue, 17 Jul 2007 14:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-07-17T23:17:11.505+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Corruption</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Opinions</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Politics</category><title>Red or Blue Pill ?</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp3.blogger.com/_Y6oVWmNwtHs/RpzWLKEFW3I/AAAAAAAAADk/nsgRaA4hGU4/s1600-h/matrix_red_blue_pill.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp3.blogger.com/_Y6oVWmNwtHs/RpzWLKEFW3I/AAAAAAAAADk/nsgRaA4hGU4/s320/matrix_red_blue_pill.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088177166190205810&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Morpheus:&lt;/b&gt; I imagine that right now you&#39;re feeling a bit like Alice.

You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he&#39;s expecting to wake up. Ironically, this is not far from the truth. Do you believe in fate, Neo?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;Neo:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 0, 0);&quot;&gt; No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Morpheus:&lt;/b&gt; Why not?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;Neo:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 0, 0);&quot;&gt; &#39;Cause I don&#39;t like the idea that I&#39;m not in control of my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Morpheus    :&lt;/b&gt; I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you&#39;re here. You&#39;re here because you know something. What you know, you can&#39;t explain. But you feel it. You felt it your entire life. That there&#39;s something wrong with the world. You don&#39;t know what it is, but it&#39;s there. Like a splinter in your mind -- driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I&#39;m talking about?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;Neo                    :&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 0, 0);&quot;&gt; The Matrix?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Morpheus    :&lt;/b&gt; Do you want to know what it is?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Morpheus    :&lt;/b&gt; The Matrix is everywhere, it is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, or when go to church or when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;Neo                    :&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 0, 0);&quot;&gt; What truth?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Morpheus    :&lt;/b&gt; That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage, born inside a prison that you cannot smell, taste, or touch. A prison for your mind.

Bridget had worked out she could afford it if she added the loan to her mortgage and paid it off over 25 years. Being financially savvy she knew the real cost of the car but said it was something she just wanted to do in her lifetime so the expense would be worth it. When I found out she had not yet driven one we arranged a test drive. We had only been driving five minutes when I asked her if the car &#39;did it for her? Was it worth it?&#39; She replied, &#39;I don&#39;t know, I think I might sooner have six months &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;skiing in Aspen.&#39;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;We discussed how she would feel returning to the workplace in order to pay for it. She told me she would not have a problem owning a better car than the General Manager but she would find it difficult going back to the boring job she had. To her that car was a metaphor for the excitement that she otherwise lacked in her life. Buying it would have provided the biggest adrenalin rush, after that it would have been down hill all the way. What she really wanted to do was break out and test her self-belief. &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Fortunately she realised in time that a car repayment plan was not the answer. &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp3.blogger.com/_Y6oVWmNwtHs/RpEP2KKUU7I/AAAAAAAAADM/6eQa-rU0vJo/s1600-h/normal.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 153px;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp3.blogger.com/_Y6oVWmNwtHs/RpEP2KKUU7I/AAAAAAAAADM/6eQa-rU0vJo/s320/normal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084862877392982962&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;OR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp1.blogger.com/_Y6oVWmNwtHs/RpERRqKUU8I/AAAAAAAAADU/s2mYc92t0x0/s1600-h/meribel_aspen_ext.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer; width: 289px; height: 191px;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp1.blogger.com/_Y6oVWmNwtHs/RpERRqKUU8I/AAAAAAAAADU/s2mYc92t0x0/s320/meribel_aspen_ext.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084864449351013314&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*********************************************************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;Advice: Dept Free or be slave to money.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://someserioussht.blogspot.com/2007/07/are-you-slave-to-money.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (.)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Y6oVWmNwtHs/RpEP2KKUU7I/AAAAAAAAADM/6eQa-rU0vJo/s72-c/normal.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856742790964010468.post-9048295429002698257</guid><pubDate>Sun, 08 Jul 2007 15:22:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-07-08T23:57:26.211+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Good to know</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Inspirational</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Opinions</category><title>Don&#39;t Let Money Lead You Down the Wrong Career Path</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_Y6oVWmNwtHs/RpEDN6KUU5I/AAAAAAAAAC8/Zh98H5ldVIk/s1600-h/Worst+job.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_Y6oVWmNwtHs/RpEDN6KUU5I/AAAAAAAAAC8/Zh98H5ldVIk/s320/Worst+job.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084848991763714962&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;header&quot;&gt;    &lt;span class=&quot;title&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;authortype&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MonsterTRAK Career Coach&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;author&quot;&gt;by &lt;a href=&quot;http://content.monstertrak.monster.com/resources/experts/pvogt/&quot; class=&quot;author&quot;&gt;Peter Vogt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;authortype&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;authortype&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;        &quot;I&#39;m just wondering: What is a good field to go into after college? I&#39;m in my first year of college and have changed my major twice. I want to make at least $90,000 a year and will do just about anything that doesn&#39;t involve a lot of math. Could you give me some options?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;These words are troubling. The person who wrote them seems intent on choosing his future career based entirely on one variable: &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;Money&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Sadly, if he goes ahead with this strategy, he&#39;ll almost certainly wind up disappointed.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;The issue isn&#39;t the moral one: &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&quot;Money is the root of all evil.&quot;&lt;/span&gt; It&#39;s actually a very practical one: There&#39;s much more to your career choice than money, and what seems like a &lt;span class=&quot;internal_general&quot;&gt;high-paying career path&lt;/span&gt; now may not turn out that way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; class=&quot;normalheading&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Slippery Salaries&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;The &lt;span class=&quot;internal_general&quot;&gt;salary numbers&lt;/span&gt; you see here on Monster and elsewhere are median figures, meaning half of the people working in the field earn less than that figure. And of course, whenever you&#39;re reading about the financial future of a particular career, you&#39;re dealing with &lt;span class=&quot;internal_general&quot;&gt;predictions&lt;/span&gt;, not known facts. Just ask one of the thousands of disenchanted grads who decided to major in an information technology-related field when they began school in 1999 or 2000, thinking it would lead to instant, high-paying jobs when they graduated in 2003 or 2004.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;But forget about the money for a moment. What about:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; class=&quot;normalheading&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Your Interests?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Many of those 1999 and 2000 IT majors mentioned above had &lt;span class=&quot;internal_general&quot;&gt;little or no true interest&lt;/span&gt; in information technology. They simply saw &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;dollar signs&lt;/span&gt; when they made their initial career decisions, not to mention what seemed like &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;boundless opportunity&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Now many are struggling to find jobs and doing so with an additional burden: They&#39;re not all that excited about the prospect of actually succeeding in their IT-related job search.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Don&#39;t make the same mistake. Choosing a career because you think the money will be great, even though you are not really interested in the field, is a recipe for boredom or worse -- &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;clinical &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; class=&quot;internal_general&quot;&gt;depression&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;for example. Making a choice this way will cost you a great deal in the long run.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; class=&quot;normalheading&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Your Abilities and Skills?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;It doesn&#39;t get any more practical than this: &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;If you choose a career for the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;money&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt; but &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;don&#39;t have the abilities&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt; and s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;kills to do the job&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;, you won&#39;t hold that job for very long&lt;/span&gt;, assuming you even land one in the first place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Good-bye, money. And hello to lots of wasted time and effort spent on your too-short career or too-long job search.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; class=&quot;normalheading&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Your &lt;span class=&quot;internal_general&quot;&gt;Values&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;You may discover that your high-paying career requires you do things you&#39;d rather not be doing, things that even keep you awake at night. Will an 80-hour-a-week job clash with your home life? Will your job force you to compromise your integrity, self-respect or even play games with the law? &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;The courts are filled with highly paid executive defendants and less highly paid witnesses to their transgressions.&lt;/span&gt; Is being in either role worth it to you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; class=&quot;normalheading&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Your Personality?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;If you&#39;re a shy, &lt;span class=&quot;internal_general&quot;&gt;introverted&lt;/span&gt; person who needs a lot of peaceful alone time, money won&#39;t buy you peace and quiet when your job forces you to &lt;span class=&quot;internal_general&quot;&gt;schmooze&lt;/span&gt; with strangers for 50 or 60 hours a week. If you&#39;re a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants type and your job calls for excruciating attention to detail plus outstanding organizational skills, how long will your paycheck sustain your psychological health, assuming you can keep performing the tasks?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Consider the long-term implications&lt;/span&gt; of your career choices.
