.When he worked 2 full time jobs where he never has a day off work, how does he have time to take another job?
how did my parents always manage to have 3 jobs when need be than?
could it be they took advantage of oppurtunities that came along, including starting numerous businesses (most of which failed)
Caine said:
.Also, some areas OUTSIDE OF THE METROPOLITAN WORLD don't have so many jobs avaliable where everyone with a HS diploma can get them.
move to where there are more oppurtunities

He can't join the military because he isn't healthy enough. There goes that thought! He is not "so poor off" as you stated, he is working two crappy ass low paying jobs to afford the things that he has, and he lives paycheck to paycheck, and ALOT of people out there live like this, you seem clueless to that fact.
sucks to be him. and if he is in poor health, there must be a government program he is eligible for, for aid
i grew up in a house, after my father left, not knowing if my mother would be able to buy food next week, EVERY WEEK
she cried every friday night at the dining room table trying to figure out how to rob peter to pay paul
in winter we didnt use our heat, we used an illegal kerosene heater, which had to be turned off when we went to bed. got a little chilly on those NY winter nights, especially since i was the first one up all through High School, so it was my responsibility to turn on the kerosene heater when i got up at 6 am

.Your remarks are an insult to anyone who wasn't spoon fed by thier parents, and those who are forced to live difficult lives because they didn't have the same opportunities as everyone else.
I have worked for everythign i have
i have been homeless in my adult life
but because i had family and friends i was never without a home
i started a courier company that was earning me $70k /year in less than 4 years, until a car wreck ended it
from there i went to wall st to take advantage of the raging 90's
i worked from 7am-9pm 4 days a week and a normal 9-5 on friday
for $250/week
add on 2 1/2 hours commute each day, and it was a long work week
that comes out to about $3 / hour before taking out the train pass and subway pass, which brought me down to about $1.75/hour before taxes
.i did that for over 6 months, until i made my bones and got to trade
and i did this with Migraines atleast once a week, from teh car accident
Now i am selling Real Estate in florida
I make my own jobs, and i make them successful
and if the RE market collapses i will make another job for myself, and make it successful
because i CHOOSE To

You proved my point of your ignorance by calling me "democratic fool" showing your anger is not the way to get your point across..
thanks for the laugh, i needed that after the past few weeks
you called me a Republican Fool, so i merely returned in kind.
