I know it. Sadly...that's how everything is nowadays. It's a load of bullshit.

It is and then they try to get you to go to college and make it sound like a degree will guarantee you a job but it doesn't. You just end up way in debt and working jobs below what you are trained for.

Yeah....and the jobs that are available you need a degree for, but you need the job to get the degree. Catch 22, anyone?

Exactly or the jobs you don't need degrees for, like Veterinary Assistant, you have to have experience for but no one will hire you so how are you supposed to try and get experience in it.

Exactly. It sucks...like they expect you to have all the experience you need automatically, when you're completely new.

I know right. I tried to get a job as a veterinary assistant, grew up with animals and spent time helping with our hurt ones, but I was told I wasn't qualified. I am guessing because I didn't have any clinical experience. How am I supposed to get that if no one will hire me?!

Ask them that sometime. See if they can answer you.

hi darling

It was wonderful.

Speaking of jobs... I really want to get a degree in Medical Coding. That field will bloom with a need for new coders in the next 6 months because of a law passed. Unfortunately it takes about 2 years if not more to get and also costs about 4,000 to 5,000 dollars. I'm paying a darn large monthly $650 on loans as it is... though with no job, I'm almost out of money.

Guh...I have NO money, so you've got more than me at least...

That is rough.

Hey Taiyo.

HIya. Typing my fingers off for tokens for items...blach!

I know how that is. I am trying to do that myself.

So we both know the pain of destroying our fingers...

Yes we do. *blows on smoking fingers*

THEY'RE ON FIRE!!!! GET A FIRE EXTINGUISHER!!!

AHHHHH! HELP ME!!! *runs around in circles screaming*

Hang on! I know what to do! *runs outside, gets a bucket of snow, and dumps it on you and your burning fingers*

There! Now they're out!

Much better....except now I is c.c.cold.

*fires up the fireplace*

That should be better.

I forgot about the fireplace in my own place. Ooo coffee or cocoa? *runs to the kitchen and returns with a pot of each, plus tea and cookies.*

Cocoa. Too late at night for coffee, unless I want to be up all night. OOOH!!! I CLAIM THE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!!!

Okay. I can drink a 24oz cup of coffee and go right to sleep. But I have ADHD so caffeine, if it affects me, knocks me out.

I never head of that happening with ADHD. Apparently people with that get the opposite effect from caffiene than other people.
