To: exist

That kid has a tough life. When I graduated colllege in Austin, the economy was down and I had to drive a cab to make house payments and help support my girlfriend and wife who was at NYU Law.

I later moved to NYC and worked as bartender and made crazy money.

Bartending is my goal right now. I’ll make scads and start my business. I already have partnerships and I hope to have more by the end of the month.

To say nothing of the volunteer work I have signed up for and the CPR training course I hope to complete at the nearby fire station (free!). I signed up for 36 hours a week volunteering and once that kicks in, I’ll have those hour pins they hand out in a few months and be merrily earning experience, credentials, and recommendations and references.

Plus experience in a more professional medical setting, a step up from my experience in the local free clinic. Perhaps some of these dips could spend time volunteering and gaining experience, but I think that would bored the little hippies because it would mean meeting a disciplined schedule.

Having a girlfriend and wife is expensive in any economy.

University towns have very well-educated cabbies. I remember stories about PhD’s driving cabs back when I was in uni.

"help support my girlfriend and wife who was at NYU Law."

Well part of your problem is that you should have had only one, not two! ;^)
