Do the vet thing if that is your passion.  The world needs more people who will care for animals. :rock

it's funny you mention that because it's one of the most in-demand jobs... from the govt bureau of labor statistics:

Quote
Employment of veterinary technologists and technicians is expected to grow 36 percent over the 2008-18 projection period, which is much faster than the average for all occupations. Pet owners are becoming more affluent and more willing to pay for advanced veterinary care because many of them consider their pet to be part of the family. This growing affluence and view of pets will continue to increase the demand for veterinary care.

yea it sucks
even watching streaming videos (let alone HD ones) is difficult at times.  for example, tnaflix.com and youporn.com are too processor-intensive so i'm forced to bust a nut to a slideshow

i think we have a winner!

btw it's not a normal aquarium...it's one where you create the entire landscape and decorate every detail so it would be like a whole new hobby which would be pretty awesome

another hobby i was thinking was bonsai trees...they're also time-consuming and would be a badass hobby.  bonsai trees: http://images.google.com/images?q=bonsai%20tree&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi

For half that, you could get a very decent (non-gaming mind you!) laptop or netbook.  I don't know how much an aquarium with something other than goldfish runs but I'd imagine $500 is enough for a decent aquarium+fishes.

Getting a good (alive) bonsie tree is hard.  I have one that was dying before it was bought and is dead now.  Still looks ok though.

This.  Or at least a %.  Also invest it.  You never know when things are going to go downhill again.  Don't screw yourself over.  Get some savings going.  Nothing wrong with spending a bit on yourself though.

going with the Concept2 Model D:  http://www.amazon.com/Concept2-Model-Indoor-Rowing-Machine/dp/B001A0ZT2I

it makes no sense to get a gaming pc when you already own the greatest source of interactive entertainment ever created (xbox 360)
