Calendar

So I got a call from the guy from church who thought about hiring me as his assistant, and he told me that CB Richard Ellis (commercial real-estate brokerage) is hiring and that he's gonna try to hook me up with an interview with them. I have to take the real-estate class first, though. From what I hear, that'll be a good indicator of whether or not I'd really enjoy the profession.

I've come to the conclusion that teachers just don't make enough money. Nowadays, it's so commonplace for both husband and wife to work that "quality of living" (in terms of belongings and purchase of conveniences) is much higher than before with dual incomes. Maybe that's not the reason it's so difficult to support a family with one income, though. Maybe it's because the corporate world knows that they can force both to work by offering low wages. Maybe we all just want too much stuff.

A bit of history of why it requires two incomes to live. Remember "Ask not what your contry can do for you but what you can do for your country". JfK coined that phrase and part of the Camelot plan was to get women out of the home into the work force and not by their choice. The government felt at that thime that to many people (women) were not contributing to the economy. Naturally Madison Avenue and Congress jumped on this. Madison avenue to convince everyone we needed more things and Congress because they wanted more tax dollars. Basically it was not about choice but about enslavement.
