I think the 50's are gone. Its dog eat dog out there. I'm in the process of moving into an old singlewide mobile home that needs a lot of work because I'm trying to cut my expenses to the bone until I get some income coming in (more than an hourly wage)
By doing all of this, I find that I no longer have to work for an hourly wage to make ends meet. So now I have time to trade stocks, sell real estate and I'm also doing some foxpro work by the hour which will help with the cash flow. The foxpro stuff is hardest for me because I have to force myself to do it (I just never have liked the back room stuff, preferring to be more on the front lines as in project management, negotiator, architect) I too am going through a tough time (car was repoed about 1 week before I finally got paid, IRS wants to seize my accounts and Child Support wants to take anything the IRS doesn't), but I will persevere and find a way to pay all of it off and get back on my feet. You too need to take that attitude and with your medical background I would think it would be easy for you to get some type of 50 - 75K job at the local hospital, even if it was merely an administrator position ??

Something like 90% of the people work for hourly wages or some sort of impossible sharecropping-like arrangement? There is only so much "smart" work available, and only so many "smart" people. You aren't advocating intellectual elitism like some people do, are you? Shouldn't there be a real life for normal people, the way there was in the '50s? Tell me how we can get to that, if you know (I don't know!) -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
