What keeps me going and in this business at this point is the fact that I cannot afford to go back to school for other training and have absolutely no desire to go into retail, etc. I imagine that I could work at a hospital or doctor's office doing something else but would probably start out just a little above minimum wage, plus the gas, plus buying clothes (something I haven't done in years, lol), so I just keep pushing myself. Trust me, there are MANY days when I feel that I would rather throw up for hours rather than sit down and type but I would imagine that it gets that way with any job after you spend this much time on it. That's my answer, ummm excuse
