You have to make it happen!

The other day I received a phone call from someone I had not spoken to in years. As the conversation progressed, it became apparent that she was struggling financially. She is a very educated woman, that is married with a child. Her and her Husband are are musicians , they are not making any money. I suggested that she get a job in the meantime until they get a steady gig, since her husband is home as well. He could watch the baby. I was told she cant leave the 2 year old, she nurses and cant pump, baby would not like if she was gone. But how will the baby like not having a home? Or food, water, electricity? So I suggest getting a part time job waitressing, when baby is sleeping, or a coffee shop, retail, cleaning anything. She is appalled that I suggest that since she has a degree and would not work for such a little job. OK but your degree is making you money by you doing nothing with it? Don't think so. Here she is no money on the verge of being homeless, or whatever it may be, and she is too educated to work??? So I went on to tell her that after my sons father passed away, and he was a newborn I went to school. I also worked 2 jobs! I did this for about 5 years. Now I own 2 businesses and work my tail off. Now I am able to enjoy life, and do what I would like... all that from started from two $10.00 and hour jobs for me! No one is going to rescue anyone, you have to do it your self! So I say suck it up... sometimes you have to do what you don't want to do, to get where you want to be.
