For EVERYONE to read

Hurt by her comment? Are you serious? Wow. I must go re-read my post. I don't think that could be any further from what I meant. I was actually confused by her comments, and wanted to know what she had planned for her future.

I don't know what you mean by age, and how it means nothing. That you had your plans (I don't know what they are, but, I guess I would presume they are in line with hers?), at 15, and what that meant in relation to my post. Really, your post came so out of left field I am kind of stunned. I must have hit a nerve with you, big time. Sorry about that.

I am not sure what hundreds of jobs that Alicia (assuming again that that is her name, as I just don't seem to be as embroiled in this as you might think) could get you are referring to. I saw someone suggest she apply at a bowling alley. Is that what you are thinking of, also? If so, what kind of sustainable employment is that? Sure, maybe at 15 or 16 it is 'fun', but, seems kind of limiting to me.

Wow...even as I finish this post, I am really shocked at your response, and what emotions I must have brought up. I do apologize. I can tell you I didn't mean it in the way you took it.



Why would I feel put down in anyway? I am chuckling here....really.

I think you've been stuck in the office too long, lol... Yes, there are HUNDREDS of jobs that are not "in-office" jobs out there. I don't appreciate the sarcasm of working at a bowling alley.

Alicia, I totally understand you about not seeing yourself in office jobs. It happens the same to me. I would get an office job only as a last option, but I know that I wouldn't be happy at all in one. Maybe I'll change my opinion in some years, who knows...
It's really good that you explained your situation, and I'm glad to know about your job in the groomers. It sounds like a big oportunity, so I wish you the best

Alicia,

I understand what you mean with the whole office thing. Office work is not for everyone, that's why there are other job opportunities out there. I think it's great that you're commited to your dog grooming job, and I also think it's great that you're not afraid to be yourself and express yourself in your own way. I don't think you should be a whole different person just to get a job, you must be true to yourself, but sometimes you just got to compromise. It is difficult, but it works.

It is also a great benefit that the groomers are paying for your school. I wouldn't pass that up either!
