Well it did push us to get out and learn something more.

Some of those better jobs, were not really better.

I was a good waitress, but after a few years, decided that I should have a better job, and found one in the office of an airplane factory.

Then I figured out how much I would have left at the end of the month and decided to stay a waitress.

The better wardrobe, snacks, parking, the list was long and left little money at the end of the month.

The one thing about teaching our kids to be waitresses, is no matter where they are, there will be a job open for them and at least they will eat.
