I can relate to that. Used to be a payroll administrator...had the $ but not the time. Now I'm a substitute teacher (not very reliable for $) and I have the time, but not the $. LOL Good thing I have a parts car!

I'm a research scientist (chromatin structure and function) and university professor (biochemistry, microbiology, immunology, that kind of stuff).

Here's a beer for Mr. Planet, an honest lawyer!

And darthrotary should be buying us all a beer with that extra money he's pocketing on gas prices (I'm in the Atlanta area darth, so I can take you up on it!).

judging from the amount of time you spend in the lounge I would never guess that you actually had a job (j/k)

I work at a distribution center for a major company named Wal-Mart. I get paid enough to make it worth it to say that though - not saying I make a lot, just saying its enough.

a gallon of gas is around 9 pesos...

yes, sucks.

Too late to try to go to the states... Im 30, I cant start over...

I have a baby, I really dont wanna go anywhere without the proper paperwork. As far as I know, I have no chance to get a green card (took me forever to get a visa and had to pay 100U$S for me and a 100U$S for my wife to get a visa interview)

I shouldnt complain, Im middle class and a lot of people down here literally dies everyday because they have nothing to eat.

You guys have no idea how lucky you are to be americans...
