I don't even earn enough to

pay my basic bills. I have to use credit cards to keep afloat. Now they are jacking the interest rates (how sweet of them) even though I pay on time, etc.

I hope Obama puts a stop to that in the near future. I have heard him speak of it.

You should be able to earn
at least $35K if you are a decent Rad scribe... Are you sure your lines are being counted honestly?

Do more/better research. There are lots of opportunities in Radiology, but many companies have chronic management problems.

I cannot think of a better way to earn a $
I so love animals and have some of my own, wanted to volunteer at humane society close to my home. I do not want to be attached or get attached to ones they might decide to put down. It would kill my heart. I think your job is sent from heaven myself.

Actually, certain religious groups have to earn their
way to Heaven by "saving" people - getting them to hear the salvation message and be "born again"...They keep a tally, and believe that God keeps a tally, and first of all earn their place in heaven and then lots of bonus perks - some jewels in crowns, certain seats at the big old banquet table, positions of authority, etc. In particular, the Jehovahs' W group focuses on this. Poor things - they want us to believe that Heaven is for everyone, while they are busy earning bonus points - sort of like the old Green Stamp days, or earning frequent flyer miles! So, they don't care that they are obnoxious and in our faces - they believe this is what they have to do, and it has its perks in their sick minds. Poor things. And I believe this confrontational style in any religion turns away far more than it saves - even THE savior was meek and nonconfrontational - he never forced himself on anyone - but some just don't get it...though they will some day.

Ideas to earn extra income
In addition to your regular career what do you or your family do to bring in a little extra cash? I started a garden this year and it is doing so well that I think I may try for the local farmer's market next year. Not looking to make a fortune but it would be great if it could pay for extra things like a day at the zoo or pizza and a movie.
