Incorrect . Try again . You started this exchange , not I . <| sep |> Wish I had seen this sooner . Great price , OP ! <| sep |> This is because of extortion . The government can use your money to pay for its mistakes and to fight those it screwed . In the end everyone pays except the government who has your money to play with . <| sep |> Hopefully dev fixes it ASAPIt ' s been this way for months , I wouldn ' t get your hopes up . <| sep |> I don ' t know . I don ' t think it will happen after the last time it worked . <| sep |> I ' m currently at the point where I should be considering my career options after graduating Berkeley EECS . Life goal number one not life goal number zero that ' s to live forever for me has been to at some point have at least a billion dollars for about as long as I can remember . It seems to me that , given my skill set and interests , the best way for me to do this is by entrepreneuring or perhaps just businessmanaging in the tech industry . So , as a huge fan of Google , I decided about six months ago that being the CEO of Google is my primary objective in life I ' m smart enough to have a pretty good chance at pulling it off , and there ' s much less competition to become the CEO of Google than there is to grow your own startup into a multibilliondollar corporation . Everybody wants to start their own company not many want to take over an existing favorite . Plus , if I fail to become the CEO of Google or decide I don ' t want to be , I could always try for one of the many other companies I like , or I could still decide to partner with a Haas student Hasshole lol to start my own company after all . That and there ' s no time limit on starting my own company , while there may be one on the Google thing Larry Page and Sergey Brin are likely to step down in 2024 , and their replacements will probably be in place running the company for quite a long time before I get another chance . However , both Larry Page and Eric Schmidt are pretty hard to get in touch with plus , as much admiration as I have for them , I don ' t really identify with either one personally . So , without further adieu , here is my pointRecently , I ' ve begun to worry about the prospect of being a tech industry CEO , on grounds of the fact that all of them are extremely busy . It ' s not the workload that intimidates me the job itself , I think , would be an enjoyable way to spend time . It ' s the fact that I ' m afraid it may be something which goes beyond work , and takes over your entire lifestyle . I ' m worried that , if I were to become CEO of Google , I ' d have to be ready to make a crucial decision or get to the Googleplex at a moment ' s notice , 247 . In this hypothetical outcome , I ' d never be able to take vacations , I ' d never be able to spend a few hours ignoring calls to pay attention to my family , etc . What ' s the point of having an $ 18 . 7 billion net worth if you never get the chance to spend a few hours walking around your city , throwing money at homeless people , stealing people ' s cars and replacing them with newer models , or filling every paid parking space in the city with an old car , not paying the meters , and having the cars towed , only to put each one back , and the city can ' t stop you because you can afford to keep paying the fines , and they don ' t have enough tow trucks to keep up with you ? This hypothetical outcome scares me , not because I think it ' s likely , but because I might have no way of finding out whether it ' s the case until it ' s too late . By the time I ' m close enough with any big tech industry leaders to know what their lives are like , I ' ve already devoted my life to getting there it ' s too late to change my mind and try making a billion dollars some other way . And , even though I can rationally back it up , the statement The CEO of Google probably isn ' t too busy still sounds rather laughable . Regarding the quote from Steve Jobs like I said , I would enjoy the work itself making customers happy , but more importantly , I set out to make money because I want to make customers or rather , people in general happy . There ' s no way I could ever spend a billion dollars directly on myself I ' d want to spend it funding scientific research , and investing in startup companies , and personal projects which benefit both myself and others e . g . , filmmaking . In fact , when I was a little kid , the biggest reason I had for wanting so much money before I could understand things like grant money or corporate investment was because I thought it would be awesome to have enough money that I could give a homeless person a few tens of thousands of dollars to get their life together , and barely even notice that the money is missing . Would you say it ' s fair to summarize your point as something like the job makes me busy because there ' s nothing I ' d rather be doing ? If so , I ' m guessing that , should I be CEO of Google , there will very rarely be a moment of my life where I ' m doing something I enjoy more than running Google . I just don ' t want those moments to completely disappear . I read Huxley ' s A Brave New World and it really put my thoughts into words . I mean you have the working class that is supposed to do grunt work like homework on Piazza . Big business wants to keep the general public from being rich which is why they stress homework for CS 61 A students so much . It ' s supposed to make you think that it ' s what real life is . And Hilfiger ' s are even WORSE ! Yeah , I can look up any fact I want , but Berkeley EECS just is trying to make us hampsters run through loops over and over again to see if we can remember a fist full of facts . I don ' t care about that . I ' m an intellectual and we look what we need to and our intellegence is what puts it all together . I didn ' t fail Berkeley , Berkeley failed me . Regarding Warren Buffet , I ' m well aware of his philanthropy and nonextravagant lifestyle , and he ' s already a personal role model of mine . I ' m planning on applying to Haas as a double major to focus on nonprofit management . I apologize if I ' m wasting your time at this point or coming off disrespectfully , but I certainly have thought this through , and I ' m still quite certain that my concerns are valid .
