  • Hire and accountant. Taxes are too complex and most lottery winners are bankrupt in 10-20 years as they fail to budget correctly.

    I’d probably pay off my house, upgrade the furnace to a heat pump (something i’m doing with the next bonus anyway) turn the rest over to charities. Though with that much money finding charities that can even accept that much money is hard.




  • This is not a valid question. You should be looking for a direction, not specifcs. Career is a combination if what you want to do, what you are willing to do, and what the job market needs right now. If you focus on a dream job you can get stuck with no job as the market doesn’t need that.

    What if I offered you a job but you had to move go the most remote Africa? Some would jump at it, others would hate it. Would you work a job where you are on the phone all day? Would you work a job in software testing? Would you be happy as a tour guide? Different people have different answers. You are allowed to change your mind later.

    There is also what you are willing to go through for money. Doctors make a lot of money, but often have to work long hours and can be on call in the middle of the night, not to mention med school is hard. The world needs more engineers, but again it needs a lot of school .

    So pick a direction that sounds good. Then refine it based on both what you like and what opportunities open up.
