Well, I've already got a stable job working as a personal assistant for a disabled friend of mine--which is te one I'm planning to keep, because I've been friends with her already for years and my hours are whenever I decide to show up X'D. So I'll be sticking with that. Less stress means more ability to write ^^

As for school...yeah, that's not happening (again) anytime soon. Found out the hard way that college ain't an option if you're not rich.

That sounds like a pretty good job! I love being able to pick your own hours.

And yeah, tuition prices in the states are crazy high from what I've heard.

@ Antagonist: Crazy is one word...nightmarish is more accurate.

The biiiig problem with why they're so damned high is that the priorities of universities have shifted from education, to making money. They're not run with the idea that this is a school where people go to learn skills and sciences and advanced maths and literature...they're run with the idea that they're businesses, and that they need to make as much money as they can. It's a case of "who cares if these poor kids might have the next Neils Bohr or J.R.R. Tolkien, they don't have the money we want so fuck them".

It's not that I think universities are a bad thing or that it wasn't for me (they are very good things and it was very much a good thing for me, workload and class speed wasn't an issue at all), it's that they're being run with the wrong mindset. Of course, the whole general US mindset seems to be "poor=stupid, rich=smart".

If ya need me to prove it...just look at the Cheeto Chode in the White House. They're gonna need to fumigate that place sooooo bad....

Oh there probably is, but nobody's going to change it so long as the money keeps coming in. Which, for good or bad, it likely will.

Oooohhh, and don't even get me started on how it seems the US views poverty. Pretty sure they're currently trying their damnedest to make our welfare programs so hard to even find in the first place is because they don't want to admit that there is indeed a not-small poverty problem in the so-called "Land of Opportunity".

Yeah, that part I've heard about. It really sucks and I've basically heard that the states hasn't been the 'Land of Opportunity' in a while now.
