I wasted countless hours arguing on the Internet and realized I was above-average at it, so figured I should go study law and get paid to do it.

edit: I aimed a bit too small here. That explanation is why I ended up where I am, not my broader purpose.

I think my purpose in life is to start a family and leave this place better than I found it for my presence. Civilization is great, and it depended on the sacrifices of countless people that came before me. Choosing to terminate the chain of sacrifices is pure selfishness. I know you said "besides starting a family," but it all starts there.

It’s a hard balance between following your dreams and using your talents and keeping the bills paid

Q: What is the chief end of man?

I’ve found that to be an incomplete truth.

Now you know
He’s something like a pipe bomb
Ready to blow”

Yes, I have. It’s to create wealth.

What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul?

You're so small.

But you don’t even know me. Holler at me when you get that bankroll up, rookie.
