>>I was just mulling that again as I made my morning coffee. Not sure that we could get agreement on what a "good" job is. In the context of, a young person-- right out of high school or just graduating from college (with $100K in debt), or maybe age 25 and looking to finally get some sort of good opportunity -- where are good places to go for a job?<< My advice - get out of the country. Some place where the economy is booming, the weather is good, the salary buys you a good lifestyle and where the women are good looking and plentiful. Try China or Vietnam, which works great if you are from an Asian background and speak the language. Hire with an US company that has operations overseas. Give yourself 2 years to find out if you like it. If it works out if can be a great carrier move and even if it does not the experience and memories will be valuable. Well this is what I did anyways. i also heard some US mercenaries in their mid twenties chit chat in the local Starbux and they were doing rather well. They were Chinese Americans born and educated in the US. In my opinion they were working too hard and not partying enough <g>.

OT. I think your three choices cover quite well different character types of young (and not so young) people. I know people in all three categories and I think that there are happy and unhappy people in all three. So it's not a simple choice. Personally, I think I've been in all 3 categories during different parts of my life and may still be in all 3 in the future. Although 1 and 3 are becoming more important in later years.
