Hey Sam... Get this... You'll get a big laugh... Before you condemn me as some "College/High School Student living of his parents money, etc." I really thing you should know me first.
Firstly, I am a college student, yes. I don't live on campus, but rather, my own apartment, which I pay rent for... I have bills like anyone else, that I have to pay.
Secondly, I work six days a week. I go to school in the mornings Mon-Wed from 6-11 AM... After that, I come home, get ready for work and go there at 1. I'm at work Mon-Fri as a clerk at Dish network and I earn $6.15 an hour. I come home at seven or eight, depending on the workload, and stay up awhile doing homework, things like that, while I talk on here or do something else.
Thirdly, on Friday nights, I audition at clubs like the Funny Bone, or I work for a dinner theater company called McCaffery Mysteries if I'm not auditoning. It's basically my attempt to make some more money in order to live.
Finally, in conclusion, I get no money or any other kind of support from my parents... I haven't even spoken to my father since this past January, because they do not want to hear from me.
I'm lazy and sponge off my parents, Sam?... Gimme a F**king break.
I'm extremely glad that you are not lazy and living off your parents. In case you failed to notice in my remark I was not referring to you, but rather to a significant number of other forumites who have said as much.
As opebo well knows, I do come from a privileged background, but I see no real interest in wasting my time away doing nothing. It bothers me when I see others doing so.
Presently, law school takes away all my time so that I can't work a separate job, but as I have stated to posters here before, I have spent two years outside of school and have worked full-time both years.
I wish you luck in your endeavors, your work and your studies; I just urge you to not criticize a man who is working, providing for his growing family, and making a good contribution to this world. That's all.
