Well, I certainly didn't mean that people who want large families got there by mistake. I wasn't very clear in my statement. I'm just concerned that we're overfilling the planet and it's going to be hard on our descendants to have so many people here.

I debated long and hard over having any children at all and finally the biological imperative won out, I guess you could say, the desire to reproduce, or to leave posterity, or to have the pitter patter of little darling feet around the house, or comfort for my old age, or whatever reasons were there and we agreed to have kids, which of course I will never regret as I love them immensely. But still, it was a long debate and not an easy decision.

I wish I had had more help in career planning when I was in school. They give you all these choices, but really no information on what you would be good at, or what you can find employment doing, or what is practical. All those "career finder" tests told me I would be good at going to school. Well, there's obviously no money in that, so that was worse than useless.

I know very few people who aren't willing to work if given the opportunity. Very few armchair sitters around here. I do know people who as soon as they go to work their government welfare money is cut back by the same amount that they made, or more, so really, where is the incentive to work there? Not to mention they just lost their government health insurance because they got a poor paying job that provides no insurance.
