I own a fast sports car and a motorcycle, two HDTVs over 40 inches, etc., but I work with the big boys too. It's all about tempering your sense of what you should 'want' with what jobs you can land - like finding a +1 sword at level 1. It's a huge headstart.

oh totally. if you are a whizz kid hot shot 24 year old pulling in 200k a year because you can, then by all means, live it up. just understand
nothing is guaranteed and you could one day lose it all. if you are prepared to deal with that, rock on. if you can use a +1 sword early on, hells yeah! but just because you found the +1 sword does not mean you have the experience to use it properly.
hunnychile brought up a good point. lots of folks want to start out in managerial, or at the top, not realizing that just because you got a diploma does not mean you know what you are doing. people hate to "pay their dues" but if they think of it as "earning the experience and learning to do the job correctly" instead of some kind of "pay your dues" hazing, perhaps they would realize the benefits.
