Nerd Rage: Get A Job
By Roger Gaw
Let me give you a little background on me before I begin. When I got my Playstation 3 in 2006 I had been working 40+ hour weeks in the rain, wind, snow, cold, heat for about 2 years as an electrician. That’s right I busted my ass in the construction field and as a 1st and 2nd year apprentice during those years believe me my work was not easy. I dug ditches carried equipment that weighed hundreds of pounds and so forth for very conservative pay.
So what am I getting at? For everyone who bitches about the PS3 being too expensive if you want one bad enough get a job and work for it. If you don’t want one that bad then shut up and play Xbox. And some things are worth saving for. I had to save my money for my PS3. At the time for a PS3 and a game it costed me about 3 weeks pay. But I wanted it. So I worked my ass off and got it. I didn’t blow my paycheck every week on stupid shit. I set a goal and I achieved it. When I decided that I wanted a giant 4-wheel drive diesel pick-up truck I understood that I had to save and build my credit for about 2 years before I could finance one. But you know what? I did it. Because I wanted it. And believe me they didn’t lower the price because I didn’t make enough money.
In conclusion if you want something then get off your ass and go get. I’m sick of my generation wanting something but not having the ambition to get it. Or if you say I’m not paying that much then you don’t really want it do you?
