I work retail. I like to surf. My favorite color is red. I do not have a TV.
I work waiting tables. I work full time. I make 215 an hour. I have children. I am pursuing a PhD in medicine. I want to be a doctor. I like music. I like the Walking Dead.
How is your job waiting tables going?  I'm trying my best. The work community is great but customers can be so rude sometimes! Oh really? What's your worst experience with a customer?  Someone refused to pay because they were convinced I was flirting with their girlfriend! I very much was not, being friendly is part of the job requirements. But the bill was taken out of my paycheck! Oh no that sucks! I'm sorry you had to experience that. Good thing this is only a transition for you, once you have your PHD and start practicing you will not need to work this job again.  Thats the dream. I wish education was more accessible than what it is. You can't get a high paying position without degrees but you can't afford a degree without the income of a high paying job (or loads of debt) Yes, I agree. And much more time is needed for higher degrees, but you can't afford to spend that much time and effort on education if you don't have the money.  So much about our country needs to be restructured. My dad had to get back surgery recently and the bills were through the roof.  Sorry to hear that. I hope he had insurance to cover most expenses.  Thankfully he did. Whats your relationship with your dad, if you dont mind me asking I have a good relationship with my dad. He is a single parent so it has been tough for him to raise us on his own.  I can only imagine. Good on him for rising to the challenge, parenting can be hard. My kids have had their moments, but I do love them to death
