Oh god, I did SAP for an internship too. I almost hung myself with a jacket one day when I looked at the clock, and it was only 1:45pm and I still had over 3 hours to work.

High paying jobs... one of my dad's friend is some sort of ChemE specialist (he was a university prof for a while too) and made $3000 a day as a consultant, working 5 hours. He was semi-retired at that time, and got flown around the world for that.

I have a friend who is in marketing making $190k (after bonus's, his base salary is $60k) and works 10 hours a week. Makes me wonder why I choose a career where I'll be slaving my ass away for the same annual salary.

A few guys/gals I know working for a Venture Capitalist, or are involved in startups, make $320-420k but work 12-15 hour days.

I think I"ll take the 10 hour a week, $190k a year job please.
