wow! no, that's not what i meant, but i guess we know where your head is. thought those days were over, but i guess racism is alive and well. you should try lightening up about color.

Believe me , I did not come here to get into a "spraying war" like two skunks...I just take it personal whe people think they are better because of thier higher tax bracket or for whatever reason they feel obligated to trash hardworking people. Thats all. Not here for war. Been there, done that!

HMP, I will apologize to you for any negative remarks I made on a personel level, but I am not one to be trashed on. We all have opinions, and thats the reality of it. Maybe some of those opinions are better left to ourselves....

I will carefully phrase my words so as not to offend anyone although I doubt it will work. My opinion is that Affirmative Action/Reverse Racism/Whatever you want to call it is wrong. In the past, white males were given priority because they were white males. Is that right? Of course not. Then why is right to give females/minorities priority today? When I grew up, my elementary school teacher always told me 2 wrongs don't make a right.

To answer the original question - money is important and so is being happy. Do the job that will pay the bills and make you happy. There's a medium in there somewhere.
