When I first went to college, I was a physical therapy major.
I figured that I could help people and make a nice living.
I knew I wouldn’t be rich, but that I would have a comfortable salary. I quickly changed my major, because deep down I always wanted to be a teacher. I tried to talk myself out of being a teacher because I knew I wouldn’t make a lot of money. I have been a teacher for almost nine years, and I do not make a lot of money at all. I absolutely love my career, but I often wonder what it would be like to be rich and not have to worry. There are months that my salary only covers the basics such as electric bill, gas, and groceries. I can only imagine what it would be like to be so rich that I didn’t have to worry about all of these things. Imagine being able to run your air conditioner and heat as much as you want without worrying about the bill! I bet rich people have radiant heated floors, central air conditioning and central heating. They probably have an assistant who pays their electric bills so they never even see how much money their heating and cooling costs. Rich people probably have their own private HVAC technicians on call to help them at any time. People say money does not buy happiness, but it absolutely can help buy indoor comfort. I do not regret my career choice, but it would be nice to not have to stress about my electric bill every month.
