I agree there are always going to be people who play the system, I'm not innocent enough to think everyone is honest and hard working. But working in the middle of these young people really does change one's beliefs. They dress and act so mature but yet inside they are still children and have no idea what they are getting into.

You are so right. We need to invest in our future generations with not just finances but with our skills and experience to give them the best life chances.

If a man under the influence of alcohol drives his car and kills a mother, his family should not have to suffer either....he will pay his debt as is prescribed by law. His children should not have to pay his debt for him.

It's easy to believe our own principles are correct, and virtuous, until it is us who stands in the shoes of those we judge.
