Hahaha! Well, Spellbinder, I am a girl. And don't worry, no offense taken. You 
are definately right in that I want to do it for the money as well as me 
trying to find a fun job. Right now, I work at Best Buy in the Wireless 
department and it's gotten old by now. People tell me to go to school which 
I'm all for but given my financial situation, I can't just "go to school". I 
have no money. People say, "I don't either but my parents blah, blah, blah..." 
Well guess what? My family has no money anyway. I lost my mother at 11 and my 
dad doesn't have the credit to take out a loan for me. I'm also paying back 
student loans for the short time I spent in art school. The school that I want 
to attend is in another country and although I could go through a university 
to get there, that in turn requires money and time. Plus, universities usually 
sponsor you to go to another university and that's not what I want. It's a 
language school. And, if I spend too much time in school, it affects the 
amount of time I can work which in turn affects how much money I can make 
which puts me further behind financially. I have NO ONE to back me financially 
in my decisions. I don't mean to get off the subject but, I figure, it is 
important to establish just why I seek such employment. Plus, like I said 
before, it seems like so much fun! And when you have fun at work, you're more 
than willing to keep going and bust your ass doing it which pushes you further 
along to where you want to be. Right now, I have no passion for my job, so I 
suffer every moment I am there. But, I digress...

It's called acupuncture. I stab you with something sharp and then you feel 
good.
