LOL , I am rich

(It said rich people are more stressed at work, poor people more stressed at home. Who cares how stressed anyone is at work? That's just work).

Yeah of course - because the lot with high education are wondering how the bloody hell they are going to pay for their students loan in 20 years whilst trying to make ends meet - oddly some of the highest ranking earners on this planet may not have the highest education, some even made it with a GED

Stress is all around whether you have a degree or no degree, whether you work for
some tosser or run your own business - there is always something.

More money more stress ? It depends if you can manage it - it's all about management.

I've never got that one,it's like people who are rich complaining they don't know what to do with their money...

Well donate it all to me,I would be totally stress free then.....would probably be good for my so called mod attitude

I want help with my mod attitude too.

Hey you know what.....in regards to student loans, I have a difficult time understanding that.

The entire time I went to college, I worked.

The first two years I went to 'college' for my Associate of Arts in General Studies and during
that time, I worked mostly for Agape and for a hospital home extension service. They knew
the kind of hours I could work due to school. So on weekends, Agape would usually send me
to homes that held several children with disabilities. To give the care takers their time off,
I would stay there Friday night, all day and night Saturday, and Sunday days. The hospital
program was primarily home health but also sent me to the hospital and nursing homes when
they had emergencies or simply to work due to being short handed. I was on call 24/7 so if
I could go to work I would say yes and if I couldn't I would say no. At one point early in
the first year of college, I took out one small student loan and I had it paid off by the time I
completed my two year degree.

My second two years I had moved close to the university and I worked midnights at a hospital
and I would go to school during the day. At the end of each semester, I would turn in my
grades to the hospital and they would pay me back my tuition cost for that previous semester.
I still had to pay for my books, etc but it was very nice being paid back my tuition costs.

I often wonder, what kind of schools are kids going to that they run up thousands upon
thousands of dollars in student loans.

Would you please share it with me? I have -0.00 about 2 days after I receive my real check. After all, it's better to give than receive. (Note that I asked nicely and said please.)

I want to receive too.

Maybe we should both go on a nice holiday..... get all stress free( Oh no wait I don't get stressed)

But if Jim would pay for it I'm already packing my bags

I want vacation too!

I think we should look to have a comprehensive stability and that includes economic stability...

Me too.

But I don't mind paying for doctors, and scientists, for engineers, and you know, people who give back to society. That's absolutely fine. I'm happy to pay for somebody who will earn ten times more than I do to go to university if they give something back too,

I'm not really sure it's fair for me, who has never been above the lowest earning bracket for income tax, to pay for somebody to get a degree in advertising so they can earn a fortune by lying to everyone about moodily lit tubes of toothpaste.

I think there's a balance somewhere, I don't think anyone has found it yet. I know it's hard - I personally would be happy to pay for historians, for example, because I think that gives something back to society, you may disagree because they don't do anything that offers practical tangible things you can use - but I can't help but feel that there is some good way to handle this that nobody has thought of yet.
