Your life path is interesting to follow. But unless you have served in the military (I have) the price for your freedom was paid by others. I eschew the victim mentality, have learned to take responsibility for my choices (especially the decision to get help when needed) and I just want to convey that, with the right attitude, life offers much. The best things in life re not things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540200926796386970.post-58287112671247050412015-04-29T21:22:18.913-04:002015-04-29T21:22:18.913-04:00It's never been free if you have to die for fr...It's never been free if you have to die for freedom or pay to survive. I have never chosen an easy, the way society does it kind of life and I have no regrets with my choices. I'm living the life I've dreamt about. Just telling my story so people will see there are many views to everything. Look up student loans and you will see what I'm talking about. Many people out there in the same boat as me... I'm just telling my story so people don't feel alone.Patches O'Nassishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12710085940703471899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540200926796386970.post-68630977424816559652015-04-29T20:12:30.066-04:002015-04-29T20:12:30.066-04:00It is still the land of the free.

You could have studied accounting and I assure you there are plenty of jobs available, but you chose what was interesting to you - not necessarily a path to economic sustainability. I would have loved "a college campus experience" but opted for public, city/state schools to avoid the debt crunch. The bottom line is that eventually you have to pay the piper for your choices. I've spent as much time as you "on the couch" dealing with my life and choices - but I did find a path that allowed me to be self sustaining pay all my bills with relative ease. I may not be responsible for the developmental and childhood traumas that have caused me immeasurable pain - but I am responsible for my education and career choices and I know who to blame if they didn't lead to nirvana.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540200926796386970.post-85122865254394708792015-04-26T16:38:50.031-04:002015-04-26T16:38:50.031-04:00There are many who think that student loans will b...There are many who think that student loans will be the next big bubble to burst. Millions are in your situation, fresh out of college and in huge debt with no extra income to pay for it. <br /><br />We are now a minimum wage economy--and that can't go on for long.<br />BobBob Wellshttp://cheaprvliving.comnoreply@blogger.com
