Gruss - was your family poor? And I'm not talking the "not wealthy" kind of poor. I'm talking the living on food stamps, not sure if you're going to have a roof over your head poor. There's a big difference between generational poverty and situational poverty. It sounds to me like you were experiencing situational poverty. And, while I don't mean to minimize what it's like to be situationally poor, it's much easier to get out of it than it is to get out of generational poverty. By definition of poverty levels, most college students are situationally poor. When you've been raised poor, there really is an entirely different culture you're dealing with, one in which "getting out" isn't even really a consideration. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2 Free Trial http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:237019 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
