As for my job, I was smart and went to college. I teach school. So I have better job security than 99% of the working population.

Normally I don't post this but your reply is just so nasty. I can remember when I was in college I had friends who quit school and went to work at "blue collar" jobs and 30 years later, most of them are unemployed or underemployed. So the one time I did listen to my parents and stayed in school was one of the smartest things I ever did.

It's about choices. You chose to be a peon. I chose to have a career. And no it wasn't easy. I literally starved while going to school. By the time I graduated, I was married and pregnant. By the time I started my career, I was nearly 30 and in debt up to my eyeballs.

I now teach the children of the undocumented. They are human beings who deserve to be treated with compassion, not derision.
