I think it would be far smarter to pick up a skilled trade or a career where you are creating revenue for yourself or your employer.
We are going to have a tough decade or so digging our way out of this mess and nonessential jobs are not going to cut it.
I am a special education teacher and your comment is ignorant. My school goes almost year round, I bring work home with me all the time, I have 10-18 meetings a month scheduled before or after school (parents don't show to half of them)I spend my own money on stuff for my kids, and I am a conservative in a sea of sharks trying to make a difference. I am also a combat veteran who has also worked in Iraq and Afghanistan, and I don't really appreciate such careless and narrow-minded comments. What has qualified you as a superior authority on which specific jobs are worthy of positive recognition?
