all that matters is if you have integrity in how you approach your work.  i
have seen both highly educated and under-educated people have no integrity
in how they approach their work.  conscientious people make all the
difference.

My sister and I are always complaining about the "get
an education" stuff. Well, I majored in French. Big fat
lot of good that did me - although I was lucky for a
little while (right place, right time, right job, right
company...) Since I got laid off from there a few years
ago, I've been miserable at work (well until I got
diagnosed, then I've been on disability - which I'm SO
grateful  to have. If I'd been diagnosed when I should
have been, I would have wound up homeless, because I
was a contractor and had no insurance at all.) Anyway,
I would have been so much happier as an interior
designer, or in real estate, or even as an electrician.
Russ started out as a plumber, is now a plumbing
inspector and has all the perks that go along with a
city job. (Not long hours, pension, security, etc...)
So, which one of us has it better in the long run? He
does...

lots of love
Anne
