I thought the pay would be higher for a BA ...

I do computer ****. It gets old but the pay is pretty good. I was lucky enough to get on with a city. I had a few years of college but dropped out. It took some industry certifications to get into the business. Now to advance, I need the degree. I am back at school at almost 40.

I really wish I would have finished school before. If I would have, I probably wouldn't be doing this stuff anyway...

Working is highly over rated, I would rather have just been really friggen rich...

Can you hook me up a deal on some headlights for an 01 Durango? The wife's are all faded out. I just need the headlights, not all three...

the local dealer wants $230 each. I found them at Caldwell dodge for $290 shipped for the pair
