Nope. And I'm not signing to be anyone's spokesperson, I'm just saying that they have good benefits.

Assumptions are the mother of all fuckups. I do not live at home, and I pay all my bills and tuition by myself. No parents handing me anything, so the next time you think you have someone figured out, pull your head out of your ass and try again. Wal Mart is not my only job, I work three, and carry a full time class load, so you can't even BEGIN to tell me anything about how far money stretches. I don't have children, which I didn't think was such a rarity for someone 20 years old.
