Whew! Bill, Scott and then Mike made a 90 degree turn! But I agree more than 100%! I learned to work with my hands growing up. I wasn't ALLOWED to sit on my can and lay around on the weekends. If I didn't have a paying job, I helped family work. Sounds like a lot of you did the same. Yep, I pandered my daughter, but she's learning! Got her first degree, which between scholarships and me, almost 100% paid for. But after getting it, and not wanting to get married, she found out it wasn't really worth much. So she went back to get a degree that would provide a true job and career. Just finishing up and has good job lined up already pays well, will make average of $25+ an hour. One of her close friends, quit a decent job at a credit union because they kept pressuring her to move up. Sharp mind, could have been branch manager in a year if she had 'wanted' to. No, work for $8.65 at local daycare! WTH! And her livein works at Chucky the Cheese as a technician making a dollar more than that. What are these 'adults' thinking? And they are all over 25!
