Do not brake up with your now ex girlfriend because you convince yourself that your getting bored and life is more fun being single. The one you moronically gave up a scholarship for. The grass, certainly is not always greener on the other side, You WILL regret it, almost every day. Twat. |
That's the weakest fucking shite I've heard all week sorry!
You might well have got 10years in, two kids and a joint mortgage on a nice cosy place you've put your money and time into, when she fucks off and takes your house, kids, TV, and car etc.
Grass might not always be greener true, but remember that time can change people beyond anything you ever expected, as can money or career progression/success.
Oh and I've never understood the splitting up with someone because you think you're bored or wondering if you could do better etc. In my experience most relationships end because one or both people are fucking someone else, or because career progression or success changes a person and makes them feel falsely superior or better than someone else. |

Difficult to say, just don't expect it to be long term well paying. |
Heh, I don't mind earning a pittance either to be honest, as long as the work is engaging. Peter Pan student life taught me to get by without very much already. Current job pays about 50% of the local average - all my Chinese mates* comment on how little it is compared to their own salaries. Affords me a better life than I could have had back home though..!

Maybe, but China costs are going up so expect the work to go to cheaper places.

I'm secretly praying for their housing bubble to burst. Alternatively I wouldn't be surprised if the government manipulated the currency or used other measures to make sure China stays competitive with costs.

Awesome, my employer does exactly that. Well they probably do whatever comes their way, but in particular they've been getting me up to speed with what's involved in that area. |

This ^^.
People change!
Both parties in a relationship will change (Guaranteed!).
In some ways they'll get closer but in others they'll move apart.
Add in the stress of kids, debt, work and hormones and it's quite surprising that so many people actually stay together for so long.
But I'd guess for many of them (Not All!) it about kids, convenience and a comfort zone... ____________________ The above comment isn't necessarily the truth and anyone that says it is, is only correct if it's the truth or they're bigger than me. |

When you buy that KMX, one night things will start going wrong, you will lose your keys, then you will find that you have run out of petrol, then you will get a mechanical breakdown.
Just give up and walk home because A&E awaits. |

Inb4, "where would be the fun in that?" |
See, I never would have done that. I was always "big" (fat) so I never really imagined I was particularly attractive. The only thing men saw was the tits. I didn't mind that, it was the gateway to male attention, so I was happy, still am even though I now see myself as attractive, despite being fat and elderly
Even in the times I was a slender wee thing, all of about 18 months - despite that my self confidence in general, in myself as a smart chick about town, was well grounded - but my confidence in my pulling power was not.
So I always waited (and still do) for guys to make the first move, as I couldn't bear to have been rejected or laughed at for trying to chat someone up. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

They take up a fuckload of your time (life) and money.
They give you major fucking grief while they are growing up, and you worry yourself sick that they will survive, thrive, get on well in all aspects of their life. You put your whole self into trying to be exactly the best parent you possibly can, with all the pressures of society, the media and your neighbours who can hear you thrashing the granny out of them.
And then they bugger off and become grown-ups.
They never phone, they never write.
They hang out and get mixed up with the most inappropriate people who will be no good for them.
And they blame you for everything that goes wrong with their lives.
Kids, eh.
Who'd have 'em.

So yours haven't done the whole 'bounce back and bail me out of shit' thing yet?...
Can't be long now as they've already done the 'blame the parents for my fuck-ups' stage. ____________________ Make mine a Corona. |

But ... sometimes the cost of the opportunity is not immediately obvious, so you have to go in blind.
But the choice at that point is not about the risk/cost, its usually about your willingness to either change your life or to do something you're pretty confident you want to do.
Cost-calculation is usually retrospective, due to it being impossible to calculate until you're thigh-deep in the quagmire of your own personal choosing.
That's, uh, life.
