I completely hear you on the Spyware front. It's ridiculous. I'm having to completely back up literally 1,000s of files, probably destroy all the Sims games I've built up over the past three years, and reinstall Windows because of some stuipd Spyware that distributed itself all over my computer and completely won't let me online. Quite frankly, I think they should receive a bill for my internet service for this month as well as for the rewritable CDs I'm going to buy to back up all my stuff on. And an extra check from them for damages due to the loss of my Sims stuff, which if you've ever played you probably know, is hours and hours of my time and patient work. I hate Spyware!!!
Oh indeed! Thankfully, all my Sims stuff is still on my old hard drive, but tons of it is stuff I couldn't replace, because the sites I got the stuff from are no longer around.
Don't think I haven't considered it. It's just that in Pennsylvania, teaching jobs are scarce. Especially in my area-teachers are making out pretty damn good.
And of course, in order to go to Grad school, I'd need to get some cash first.
I was going to go back to La Roche, but their program wasn't able to get off the ground. Pity.
You're the only person who truly understands your situation, and no one should try to force you into a move that you're not ready for. Especially when they're dispensing advice like "take the plunge!" Take the plunge? What the fuck is that? You know who takes the plunge without testing the waters? Fucking idiots, that's who. Don't take advice from fucking idiots. Figure out what's right for you, what directions you can move in, what help you can accept.
I'm 26. I live at home. My situation is a little different, as I stay to take care of my mother, but people will insist that they know better than me. The answer I've learned to give is "I don't need your advice; I need your support. If you can't give me that, then I don't need you around."
'taking the plunge' requires investment. like, thousands of dollars, in many cases. you simply cannot move out and commit this kind of cash a) if you don't have it NOW, and b) there's a really, really good chance you won't be able to find a job to continue paying for it all once you've moved anyway.
sheesh. it's not simple. not simple at all. so many people are between a rock and a hard place these days, and people who *have* work just don't understand that.
