In response to your question about why we all are in school, I know the only reason I am in school is for my family. My husband and I have been married 3 years and we have a 19 month old daughter. He works for the Tire Factory, and things haven't always been easy for us. Then, I got really lucky and received a full scholarship. I always wanted to go to school, but now it is so much more important. After I get out of the nursing program, my husband will go to school. This might seem like we are only doing it for the money, but we are doing it for our daughter. {I also truly love nursing} We want to be able to give her the things she needs, and wants. We don't want her to be another hungry child, or a child that doesn't have a home. But, we also belive the most important thing is raising her right, with both of us involved. I know for a lot of people, that isn't the way they think. {As you said} And I do think that "money is the root of all evil", and that most people base their lives on it. Money isn't the most important thing in life, but it sure does make it easier. And I believe that when I finish school, we will be able to provide our child with opportunities and experiences that she needs to grow in this world. So even though money is one of the sole things that is ruining this world, you still need it to live. Weather you like it or not....
