What would you do with $1 million?
Really the question is, what would you do with $10 million?
When a CEO (or some high ranking business official) walks off a job for another they usually get some lucrative incentive plan to make the jump. The incentives range from special parking spots, stock, and more than likely a large chunk of cash. And this even applies to a high ranking corporate employee that gets kicked out of the gig (lay-off packages). What kills me with all of these *plans* is the pure sums of money.
I mean, really, if you were given $10 million to leave a position (or hell as sort of a signing bonus), tell me, why do you need to work?
Seriously. If you gave me $10 million to work with (as a severance or otherwise), I think I could find a whole hell of a lot of other jobs to do that would be a helluva lot more fun than my current day job (and, hell I *like* my job)! Arts and crafts crap I don't have time to pursue right now. A whole literacy and writing program for younger kids (that means everyone in from kindergarten all the way through high school). Or hell, maybe that independent bookstore (of coffee shop) hobby I think would be cool to start.
What 'bout you?
$10 million dollars... what would you do?
