I actually have a hope and dream that I can "make a difference". Some of us young folk still cling to the ideal that we can impact the world - my motivation is to make good information accessible. Besides, I need to stay close to my family, and I've got too many ties in this area to just uproot now. *sigh*. Easy for you to say. I actually have a hope and dream that I can “make a difference”.

I'm a college educated graphic artist and web developer. I do lots of specialized work that requires years of training. The local McDonalds manager (with no college education, no specialized experience or training aside from "on the job" training) makes more than me by a grand yearly.
