So the boss is an idiot because he kept it in his pants or put a party hat on? Maybe the boss decided it would be much better to become financially stable before knocking a girl up. I call it being responsible. But hey, that is just me.

If you didn't like that analogy, how about a guy who did what our OP did, got up about halfway and married, but then his company stalled badly. Now with wife and kids having immediate needs, he's forced to take the first job that swims along, no matter how sucky it is, and is stuck the rest of his life.
The point of that analogy, which IMO think some of us are missing, is that not everyone is unproductive by choice. Rather, many people, are unable to climb "for the future" because they need to handle the present first. |
Been there and done that. Twice! I handled the present with a job loss after 11 years. Got another job a month later. Lost that job for downsizing in 3 months. Three mouths to feed, house payment and all that it entails. But, no, the analogy is a high school kid knocking up a high school girl thus crushing any dreams he might have had for 2 second of bliss. Yet, some how the poor decision of the high school kid is portrayed as someone elses mistake and now any fruitful future is gone. He also states that 'atleast the boss had a dream'. What the high school kid had no dream of a future before the baby arrived? Some how, disgruntled because one made the right decisions and can dream at night as he sleeps next to he Mercedes? Again, one makes their own bed and needs to sleep in it.
