Few working at Staples make a living wage.

70. I live in Dallas.

Anyone working in an office in a professional field will have expendable income. Even the records clerks and mail room clerks. As well as insurance, vacation, and a 401K. Maybe not a LOT of expendable income, and esp not at first. But you work at it a few years, and things snowball.

If someone learns a vocation in the health care field, he or she will almost certainly never be w/out employment. The pay isn't great, but the benefits are, I hear.

My niece tried her hand at different things, after dropping out of college. Banking (the pay is HORRIBLE), sales. She is back in college now to get a nursing degree. As a nurse, she will NEVER be unemployed and can move anywhere in the country and get a job immediately. Her pay will be great, as will the benefits.

Where do young people usu. get money to pay for school? They save up for it or borrow it from their parents, and/or apply for grants. My sister got thru college on grants, w/help from my mother. As for me, I borrowed the $ for my vocation school from my Mom. I paid her back monthly after I got a job.

Yeah, it's best to start all this stuff when you're in your teens and still living at home. But hey, some of us screw up and screw around and get started late.
