I am of the mindset that you should look to do something you love to make that your living. It does not always mean you will be rich. Money will not give you happiness but having it makes your life much easier so combining the two is the key. I have done it. But the real key to that is make those decisions early in life because it is much harder to go back and get a do-over, but you can do it if you sacrifice. Nothing good in life is easy to get.

Back to America, I completely agree with this:

Quote:
Curriculum:

1) Your success is your fault
2) Your failure is your fault
3) No one but you made you who you are
4) See rule 1

I believe, in large part, the root of problems in this country boil down to people refusing to take responsibility for their own lives.
Until we get out of the mindset that we are owed something because of who we are, or who our ancestors are, or because the government should provided it for me, or because "it is God's will", we will stay socially broken.

And until we get a true balance in our political frame work within government we are going to continue to have divisiveness and conflict.
