Incidentally, zenny, were you aware that Americans spend twice as much on health care as most western economies and yet have a shorter life expectancy? Something wrong there.

Ok...I'll stop talking about serious matters. We can go back to talking shop...

Sum Ting Wong!

Yep, I know. Big Pharma is next in line after the banks with their hands out.

My counterparts are all part of the medical system... and I'm not. I'm kinda starting to plank it a bit! I gave up my medical insurance... hell, I wasn't using it... been almost 7 years since I went to the Doc... and now I am wondering if I did the right thing.

Yep...PKs are better than pain.

Regarding further education, we're brainwashed from a very early age about the importance of getting a degree. The problem is that when we're still in our teens, we don't understand or know enough about the system and society to make an informed decision about whether the advantages of further education outweigh the costs. We're told there will be jobs.....sometimes there are and sometimes there aren't.

And no, you're not daft, zenny. You're one of the most intelligent people I know. :l

I have enormous regrets about my own degree. If I had my time again, I would have done something completely different.

Ya know... me too. If I could tackle it again I would do it differently.

I honestly don't think it matters a jot to be honest. I was the same person before I went back to school. AND... my career and money making potential was BEFORE said degree...

Fuckitt. Should have saved the cash. Coulda been using it for a holiday right now! Or one of those lunchtime lifts. Yep. That's what I need! LOL!

:hallo: again.

I have to disagree about doing a degree. A lot of what was said is very true, but without one, so many more doors are closed. I also regret my original choice, but even so I would never have been able to get the job I'm doing without one. I'm not entrepreneurial at all, so would most likely have failed at setting up my own business.

Anyhoo... I'm craving sumfink sweet to eat. There is nuffink in the house.

Can't you go to another doctor, Reccie?
