Quote:
I try never to take things for granted. When I hear things like what you've told me, it always puts things into perspective and forces me to think about my own life...to focus more on my "have's" than my "have nots". The U.S may be a "dreamland" to a lot of people, but it's still not an "easy" place to try and survive. I don't believe ANY place is an easy place to survive...but there are certainly places where you can have a better quality of life, yes. Most people don't make enough to live comfortably (or what WE'VE been conditioned to believe is comfortable) and struggle to pay the bills each month. Even here, very few people have it easy. We don't have to worry about alot of things that people in other countries have to worry about. But that doesn't mean we have no worries. But again, trust me...I know how fortunate I am.

This thread makes me laugh a bit...sorry...
But I hear the same damn story from my wife...she's got two medical degrees...went to school forever, owes fuckloads of money because of college loans... And me, her hubby... Smoked a whole fuckload of pot in high school, was really violent, had a terrible attitude towards education, and got expelled... TWICE! Then...never went and scored a GED, never went took a single course in college... And I've supported my unemployed wife... And our baby...just fine...for almost 4 years now. And no...I'm not a laborer... I sit in a comfy office in the penthouse of a high rise office building. I'm so glad I didn't waste my time with college. That's not to say I'm not educated now though... I've matured...decided I wanted to learn about life, history, whatever... So I read, I research...I learn about it on my own. I don't need some opinionated professor telling me what to read and how to think. Wow at you. And sorry too.

yes komi..
we sympathise with you .. :( We do know how lucky we are but thats just our point.. the jobs over here(NZ) are plenty but are taken up by foreigners who will work for the minumin wage..where as those of us who have studied hard for our professions are being sent to the back of the line. You come to our schools here and they are being taken by teachers whose second language is English and thier mother language 1st and foremost.. its ridiculous but hey...thats beauracracy at work for you..:confused: .. that is why most of us have to get second jobs.. hence ..mine is in a bookshop ..catalouging rarebooks n putting them online .

I want to go to grad school and get my Masters/PhD in Feminist and Liberation Theology. (Double PhD, because I'm a nerd ;) )
What I need is a job, which I can't seem to find, because employers don't like people hold BA's in Religious Studies and are mentally ill.:p EXCEPT Uni-bloody-versities. I'm supposed to be writing a book. I said I was going to write a book. I know how the storyline goes, I know most of the characters, I know lots of things. I just can't get it out of my head and on to paper... or rather, computer screen. Either way, I can't transmit thought from my brain into my hands.

I'm so not made for working it's unbelievable. Real work sucks. I was talking with a friend and came to the conclusion that strippers and prostitutes have it right. I'd be a stripper in a second if I could, not a prostitute though because well... yea that's gross.
Fuck work. :mad:

Thats all good for you rawhead rex..
and congrats.. We are not complaining about the lack of jobs available..as there are fuckloads.. I wouldnt change my position for anything.. we have members of parliment here who spent half thier lives in and out of police cells...and have done well for themselves.. its the bastards that come over here and take the jobs that we rightfully deserve and earned .. Em not racist by no means..but 10 classes out of 15 are taught by pakistani indians..in most schools around N.Z. Almost every shop owner is pakistani indian.. Every takeaway..taxi driver..vege store.. furniture store..(see where em going with this) are either pakistani indian or Asian.. I almost freaked when we went to wendy's ice cream store yesterday and guess who served me ..new owner/operator...Asian..and macdonalds owned and managed by //pakistani indian. Its bloody amazing...good for them..at least they contribute to our economy.. but try going to them for a job and you would most definately get a refusal because you know your worth and they will not pay it ...they only hire thier own race who work for less money.

LOL Yeah, I need to find some old guy who is about to croak. My boyfriend could find some rich old lady and we'd be set for life when they died... naturally of course. ;)
