Dear Hosni, I worked as an accountant for 16 years. It wasn't a "get rich" job but it was steady. I still do taxes for friends. I regret never becomning a CPA. I sort of stumbled into the job and it took 26 months to get on medicare and medicaid after the owner closed shop and retired. I have tutored and written for local papers for extra money. I have even begged. I was stunned by how much money I got for that. I don't know what you can handle each day, then again, I didn't know I could type until I needed to write after I broke my neck. I order my monthly supplies from a quad that has everything drop shipped to me. The place I live in was modified by a company owned and run by a C-5. Getting a job is important, even if you start by doing volunteer stuff. Just start a constructive habit of being up and searching by 9 am. People do not think we can function without help until they see us doing it. Best Wishes, john
