I never said anything about a masters degree as a negative.

You did it, great. I don't know what your life was to lead up to this.

My life, my choices good and bad , my resources available to me and with my responsibilities, both to myself and others, have not allowed me to get to my educational goals yet. I will.

I never said everyone has it easy. Again you are picking prejudices or ignorance that you may have indeed experienced in your own life and using it as a reading-glass for my comments and my motivations. That is fine, but that is not what I said. My problem with the post, again the post, not a grander meta-comment about society, was that the original poster gave clear references to what her motivations were. I respect the hell out of the fact that she admits to flawed goals and naive views on things. But the summary of "money isn't everything" is just wrong. It absolutely is.

Until a person can have stability in their life, whatever that means for them, in the long term can't find peace. In our western culture, that more often then not
And if I had the ability to use my sexuality as an extra source of income at times, probably not right now but we shall see what electric is this month, I would have definitely considered it.

I wasn't saying she or anyone else should be grateful for what they get because I blah blah blah me me me. Again, contrived.

I don't need to make comments about your intelligence to prove my point. Though, what you have "Fleshed out" i have yet to understand. Seeing as you've given personal statements to your life and keep breaking away from what I have said. Diatribes are great though.
