I never said doing pushups was in the housekeeper job description. I do housekeeping everyday for myself. I do a lot of other work every day that has nothing to do with a job. That was my point. I don't personally know a single woman who works out on a regular basis or who can do a push-up...

Not really. I work hard every day. I don't know many women my age who can do a single push-up on their toes. These types of things take hard work, just not the type anyone will pay me to do. I have been exercising consistently for years. However, mainstream jobs do not hold my interest. My...

Aside from the paycheck, I'm mainly interested in it because I enjoy exercise and learning about the human body. I think I could do a good job helping people get better through exercise and the other methods used. I'm not a big people person though. It would be stressful for me to interact...

I understand why you would say this, but I'm sure it's not depression. I haven't lost interest in the things I enjoy. I still enjoy learning, however, I don't like sticking with the same topic. When I was in college I would get really interested in a topic, concentrate on learning everything...

Seems like government work is worth exploring. Aside from that I will try to just find something so that future employers will think I'm a good worker bee who can't think of anything better to do with myself. Unfortunately, for as long as I need employment, it will matter what others think of...

I haven't posted in a long time, but I figured this would be the place to find someone who might understand what I'm going through. I was laid off last month. I need someone to motivate me. I do not have to worry about money for at least a year. I have applied to one job so far. I really...

I'm Black and a quarter Native American.

The difference is these women will always have the option to adopt. However, women who have kids, can't just send the kid back to the factory. It's a life sentence. I would much rather regret not have kids, than regret having them. That's just me.

I don't know why, but I continue to be surprised when people talk about how everyone who has kids loves them.  It is such a prevalent misconception, but it makes no sense to me.  I wonder how many foster children these people have encountered.  I'm not just talking about children born to...

I turn 26 next week.

I'm a big fan of "Your Money or Your Life" as well.  I agree with the article.  I refuse to work more than 40 hours per week, I refuse to have a long commute (currently live five blocks away from my job), because I highly value my leisure time.  Only under extremely horrible economic conditions...

Seriously, I've met janitors I have more respect for than some of my co-workers.  It is pretty sad when people are judged by their salary or their material possessions.  

Seriously. Why can't children learn about homosexual families? Maybe they have a child in their school who has homosexual parents. What is wrong with making sure they are tolerant of differences? Maybe there is a child in their school who happens to be homosexual. Learning about homosexuals...

My living situation is the biggest contributor. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with a roomate. The living room is my bedroom. I only pay $400 in rent. It was supposed to be temporary, but I've been here for over 2.5 years now. My roomate usually isn't home, so I get the place to myself most of...

Welcom GDH, Well, I am an ER wannabe and I make even less than you. I'm 24 and I make 31K. It gets pretty depressing when I compare myself to others on this board :-[ However, for the first 18 years of my life my entire family, of 3-6 people in the household, lived off less than 20K. Compared...
