Calling all lawyers (and other sundry old people)

Welcome back Count 

Take the year off, you'll never regret it.

Don't lie to the kid.  He'll regret his decision, no matter which way he decides.

Think about it this way.  Travelling is a lot more fun with money than without.  Go to law school, make big bucks, THEN travel. 

[Darth Wagtaros]

Welcome back. My 2 pennies: If "travelling the world to find yourself" does not include the military, go straight to law school.

I agree.

[Monoriu]

I know a fellow office assistant in the government.  We joined the government in the same year, actually.  She is a very bright girl and received top marks in her interviews.  After working a few months, she decided that she wanted to experience new things while she was still young.  So she quit and did a master's degree in the UK, thinking that she could always come back (the government recruits office assistants every year). 

2 years later she did come back, and again easily impressed the interviewers. 

But guess what, times have changed.  I have a defined benefit pension that is indexed to inflation.  She doesn't.  Only some sort of contribution plan, and she has to deduct part of her salary every month for it.  Her starting salary was a lot lower than mine.  All kinds of benefits were cut.  Seniority is important, and she voluntarily put herself 2 years behind in the long queue for promotion. 

Count, don't make a similar mistake that she made.  Start your career ASAP.

I concur with Mingy the Merciless.

HK island is only a small part of HK.  The majority of the population, including yours truly, do not live on the island

Don't you have a boom mike or something to hold?

Then don't move to HK.  And listen to Kats.

I was in New Orleans yesterday.  So there.

[CountDeMoney]

Why are you so intent on destroying Count's future by endorsing some sort of silly "self-discovery" bullshit anyway?
