Your post helped me get that list.<br /><br />Thanks.mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01824305989733886483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006430.post-53374923218851466162011-06-03T00:17:38.356-04:002011-06-03T00:17:38.356-04:00I have to whole heartedly agree with you, on both ...I have to whole heartedly agree with you, on both of your main points. One should always try and go into a profession because they have a true passion for it, and not mostly because they'll make a sh!tload of money doing it. God knows I did, it just doesn't pay a living wage in this country unless you are able to own your own place...which is a large risk here as well.
