Who doesn't love a good deal?

If you do, it's time to head on over to your local RadioShack. The iconic retailer is now selling the last of its remaining office supplies as part of a liquidation process brought by a bankruptcy filed in March, and everything must go.

RadioShack is peddling pretty much everything it still owns, including some very questionable items like these waterlogged clipboards (for only 50 cents!) and a giant 50 gallon trash can that frankly has no business being anywhere except for a suburban mall. Still, it's super cheap, so why not pick one up if you have the space for it?

    One reason: Our hearts are in it.

    Same reason some people like to paint, while others make music. Some like Sudoku. We are all different and all of us seem to come pre-wired to enjoy certain things. One man's cup of tea in another man's glass of swill.

    These passions are not pursued for monetary gain. Pursuing it makes us happy.

    To do this kind of stuff expecting to gainfully employed? Don't fool yourself. Others will have you up to your neck in debt for "training".

    Amidst a sea of us who do this for fun.

    If you need income for , say , supporting a family , better go with something business will pay for. MBA, Law, Finance, Insurance, Real Estate. Suit and Tie, Handshake jobs. Jobs where you are "paid like a gentleman" for telling someone else to do the work. There is big money in finding the lowest cost provider of whatever the business needs. The providers themselves are in a mad race to the bottom. You do not want to be there.

    You know there is a real shortage of technical professionals when you see businesses sponsoring kids through school in order to secure their services after training.
