standmybrothers, I worked at a after school camp for kids (better known as a day care, but we cant say that) and I got paid 7.65 to play with kids and help them with easy math problems. When I go back next summer I'll get a raise to 8.25......for nothing! its an awesome job. yay for city employees.

I could never be a waiter. I have terrible speaking skills and im not the kind of person who can sweet talk a table. Plus I would spill the tray. I was a busboy at a small mom and pop restaurant when I was a senior in high-school. I had to "pre-bus" tables so the servers didn't have to and even then I hated communicating with the tables. Its weird because im a pretty friendly and nice guy....

I'll tell you the truth, I'm very obsessed with rivalry..

I seriously don't think I could ever apply to Ohio State or Purdue or Michigan.

I'm afraid of what it might do to me...a hostile environment for an Irish fan.

I plan on taking journalism at the moment, I hear Missouri is the best journalism school in the nation, and Syracuse the best in NY. Those are probably the two I'll look at the most right now.

Depending on what type of journalism you want to go into, I think Northwestern University has one of the best Sports Journalism programs in the country.

But don't quote me on that, because I might be wrong.

Edit: Also, i've read that Ball State University has a great Journalism program as well.

I get the luxury of working at a collection agency. Yes I am a bill collector I call people and tell them to pay their bill that they cannot pay. It is entertaining and sweet. MUCHO $$$$$$$$$$ And I get to have an alter ego.
