If it weren't for my inheritance, I would not have had the "luxury" of teaching part time at community colleges for the past 11 years. However, the money has run out, and now I scramble to get teaching assignments in a budget-constrained system and collect unemployment between quarters. "Proactively attempting" to make more money hasn't worked for me in this downward economy. What has "saved" me is mortgaging my house and living on credit card debt.Carol Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08017750402290605603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25327285.post-40657063429734715792008-07-14T21:40:00.000-07:002008-07-14T21:40:00.000-07:00Well, it appears you are devoting a lot of time to...Well, it appears you are devoting a lot of time to whining about your situation.

No matter what your situation is now it sounds so pathetic that you ask your grandparents for money after graduating. <BR/> I just wanted to give you some feedback from someone who is on your side.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25327285.post-80139718606778702202007-10-02T06:10:00.000-07:002007-10-02T06:10:00.000-07:00Michael:Do you have a working email address?Craig ...Michael:<BR/><BR/>Do you have a working email address?<BR/><BR/>Craig @ FACE TalkCraig @ AFThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01619162376916883142noreply@blogger.com
