If by some chance you flipped through this Sunday's Career section of The Gleaner you might have noticed that there was a space with the Lotto logo. No, it wasn't an ad for a position at the company but one for a lifetime of happiness. Here's what it said:
No dress code
Less working hours
No impossible deadlines
No kissing you-know-who's, you know what
A whopping 9-figure income

No you know what I saw, I must confess that I like the ad and I am now considering a career change; keeping in mind that I would be able to afford anything I want, while meeting family and friends I never knew existed. However, there is one little thing they fail to mention -- the chances of getting the position as a lottery winner. By my calculation, it is sayyyyy, one in probably millions. Chances like that jolted me back to reality and allowed me to realise that I could be playing this game for years without any return on my investment. now is that really worth it? Don't think the potential wife, children and the existing beggars on Kingston's street would be too happy about that at all ... I have mouths to feed and nature doesn't allow me to do that, naturally.
With all that said, thanks Lotto but no thanks. I prefer my nine to five a bit better.
Funny ...
ReplyDeleteWell said.......really love it!
ReplyDeleteFunny but true! Not all that glitters is gold.. even if you were to make that career change to being a lotto winner, with more money comes more problems. You may end up more stress in the Lotto career than you are in your 9-5. As well as all the money you will be investing to gain this career change you could save it and probably end up being richer than if you were to win the lotto. Keep writing Paps! I find them thought stirring!
