I explained my experiences. You were too busy name calling to read my post. Needing to prove what anyone with any sense believes and knows to be true, doesn't make any sense. Believe what you will, I could care less.

The one thing to remember is that when you get older, a retirement check and medical insurance will be something you'll really really need. I advise all young people to get any kind of government job they can, and stick with it until they retire.
