EVOLghost 06.19.2010 08:29 AM

My Dad makes quite a bit of money. (He owns his business)....but my family has worked pretty much for everything we have. For teh most part...I could say we had it easy.....well REALLY easy since I'm a first generation American...but none of us were spoiled. I'm 21 I pay rent(separated parents), my cell, my car, insurance and just about everythign else I need. Though....I do work 40-50 hours a week...I'm a little comfortlble right now....taht rent is really low..

EvolG, do you work for your Dad? If so that's great as the business and future success will be yours. Nothing wrong with getting a leg up as long as one works to maintain that. Unless of course your so filthy f' rich you don't have to work where I'm sure we'd all like to be..

Myself I did ok in my days. We owned our own house, 2 cars and a vacation place at the beach. The kids never starved, had good clothes we were able to travel once a year on a vacation. Now I'm not wealthy but I have enough money to survive. Drive a new car and have a nest egg.

yeah. I work for my Dad...which I hate/love. I mean it's great. but...it's got it's downsides.

And I do no plan on staying with this business. My brother is pretty much gonna be left with this company. He knows just about everything about this place now...And yeah...I've always had to work for just about everything I own. My Dad would give us money when we needed it...but when we wanted stuff to buy...we would need to find our own way of getting it. (which through work pretty much...)

EVOLghost 06.19.2010 12:30 PM

My Dad is rich....I am not.

pbradley 06.19.2010 01:13 PM

I should never mention anything personal on the internet. There's rarely a reply to it that I don't hate on some level.

Every listing I've read from recruiters looking for teachers required a college degree. Everyone I know teaching in Korea had a degree before teaching. There are some that don't require it but those aren't full teaching jobs.

you should ask "who's reading"? because nowhere did i say they weren't real.

i'm just saying you are not a trusted friend.

(and neither am i, for the record).

wellcharge 06.19.2010 03:32 PM

have you guys heard about these "quality control" jobs in china....companies want white people in suits to stand around at their events and they'll pay lot's for one week and put you in a top hotel, i saw only one article about it but i'm under the impression they just want white people around so it looks like they do business with foreigners or something

i would do it, i don't think it works if you don't have a college degree though

maybe its different in different places. but from what i've seen there are more jobs to teach in asia than people willing to go.

because you need a degree to stand at events

someone told me his house cleaner had a law degree, maybe she can go.

wellcharge 06.19.2010 03:37 PM

i don't know about korea, but in china they have jobs cleaning panda shit nd they still require a degree, it's an immigration rule of sort i think

it's not like the internet is out to get you. RL people are capable of more damage, generally.

i didn't say it's out to get me. why will you keep twisting my words? :( i just don't wanna spill details of my life with a bunch of strangers, like some big brother contestant.

with real life people, there's insurance-- you know where they live.

ok, im tired of this silliness & i'm off to read.

knox 06.19.2010 03:47 PM

well, i know where you live.

the ikara cult 06.19.2010 04:28 PM

I was super duper poor as a child, used to sleep on a matress without a bed etc. Once i got into my teens we were better off, more lower middle class, though i was still poorer than most of my peers. Now id say im solid middle class. I see no virtue in being poor, its shit. No-one should be poor.

SONIC GAIL 06.20.2010 07:29 AM

I am borderline poor white trailer trash with a degree

knox 06.20.2010 11:38 AM

do people think a degree is supposed to make them not poor?

atsonicpark 06.20.2010 05:00 PM

Every girl I've dated except the one I'm with now seems to have thought so.

My last one said I'd never amount to anything since I didn't go to college. Meanwhile, she's went for liek 7 years and is like ten thousand dollars in credit card debt, but okay...

SuperCreep 06.20.2010 05:01 PM

i'm fucking loaded.
