I'd so do it.

The world is missing out on my participation in it, and I blame a bad student loan.

5. Not unemployed
just worthlessly working to survive.

I think it would be cool to work out my student loan by working for government. Then I could retrain and get a real job.

4. Hey, an apprenticeship is an indentured servitude. You can get a union job out of it, too.

7. I was 30 days from book
As a Union Ironworker.

Biggest paycut I ever took in my life.

I had an accident and could no longer work construction... years passed after much trial and error. I now realize, I'm a broken construction worker ...still.

6. You will become an indentured servant with the health insurance reform actually
After you get done paying for your policy, deductibles and copays, you wont have shit left over to show for it.
