Lori, Hello, My name is Sharon I am on Public Assistanance SSI, Social Security Disability. But Its not because I Want to be!! I worked for 8 years running a office! One day I received a letter stating that if I made 200.00 a month I could loose my medical insurance. Here in Ohio that's how it is!!!! What Choice would you have made? I knows not fair but! If laws ever change I will go back to work if I don't get too old first!!! Not everyone is on public assistance because they want to be!!! There are allot on it that should not be!! But you don't know everyone's situation!!! Do not judge until you're in one shoes!!! Just my opinion!!
Hugs
Sharon

Hey Lori I have a question.
How do you live on $16,500 a year with no help or public assistance?
There's a lot people on the list that would like to know your secret.

Many others can answer this question as well. I got a B.S. in liberal
studies and business administration. I wanted to work for IBM as it was a
big local firm but all resumes were ignored there and other jobs.
I took a job at an ILC and worked as an advocate of kids receiving
special-ed. It only required an Associate's degree but I took it. Fool
move. It only paid $16,500K. That = about $7.50 ban hour. Nonetheless I
stuck with it. Then I began having pain here and there ALL THE TIME. I
went to different Drs for 4-5 yrs and finally found out I had Syringomyelia.
I resigned from work (foolish move ... shoulda retired on disability).
My endurance now sucks along with other secondary problems later and yr
after yr.
It SUCKS my degree isn't being used RIGHT NOW but I keep plenty busy!
Go to work if you can! People whine about women on welfare yet so
many quads get exactly that. Call it Medicaid, Public Assistance or
whatever ... but it's welfare and I'll get slammed here for not being P.C.!
If you know what you want to do ... reach for it! GO FOR IT!
TIP: DO NOT put that you are disabled on your resume. I was green as
key lime pie when I was doing mine/sending mine and made that mistake. List
only your experience, degrees, etc.

Lori
I want to change subjects and ask you another question. I have not
been able to find employment not only because of our problem with sediment
in my urine but mainly because of recurrent pressure sores. I want to ask
you if you were employed and what you are doing. My repeated attempts to
seek employment have been frustrated because of my skin and I wanted to
learn what others are done explicit because your entry-level is high and
similar to mine.
I would appreciate any advice or information you could provide me
