<<What if you work very hard but the Chinese and Indians work harder?>>

You just made me focus on something I've never really thought too much about....that there have been few times in either my life or my spouse's life that we haven't worked two jobs at the same time.

Whether it was working part-time in high school and college, or working days for the government and nights in retailing, or working in real estate while also pulling in money from another business on the side, or working days for the government and teaching SAS programming courses on the side....we've both worked pretty hard.

Yet I don't think it was fear of running out of money that made us do that. We both seem to like to just make money. I know I couldn't wait to get out of college and start earning a full-time income.

Yet whenever we suggest to our sons that they take on a little extra work, you wouldn't believe the groans and excuses we hear. I've got a younger one who tries out part-time jobs and discards them as having "too much stress". I see real trouble ahead for that fellow. <<gg>>
