Sperm donor.

One of my students put herself through school by donating her ovaries. Of course she is gorgeous and really bright...so I'm sure her eggs were pretty desirable. And they pay a lot more for them than for sperm. Not sure what the going rate would be for sperm :think:

Yeah but women want donors from Scientists, athletes, top business men and astronauts not stuggling artist sperm

Why am I flushing this stuff down the toilet when women are willing to pay big bucks for it!

Did she sell her ovaries or her eggs? :shock:

I was wondering the same thing.

Sorry - I meant her eggs. Although apparently it's pretty invasive...hence the big bucks :shock:

In the real world, employers don't really care what you want. They (rightfully so), want what's best for their business.

It's gonna be tough finding a job that'll give you everything you're looking for, especially if it's not a "career" job. Working in stores and such isn't generally considered to be a career.

Also, not to sound rude, but, it sounds to me like your work ethic is not so great. First job ever was after college? Most of the people on this board probably worked, or are working, their way through school. It's tough to find sympathy from people who have worked harder than you and don't have the luxuries you claim to have (ie. getting a free ride through school, saving up money while you're working, etc.). I'm not trying to be a dick here, and I'm actually happy for you that you've gotten such great opportunities. It just seems like, judging by your post, you're a bit ungrateful and you don't really understand the plight of an average person.

It also sounds like you are a bit selfish and don't understand that other people have worked in the same place as you for longer, and deserve to get the better shifts. Your inability to take criticism and hear difficult truths will not make this any easier. Report me all you want for this post, as I am not trying to be rude, but trying to help you understand that just because you want something, doesn't mean you can have it. You're an adult, and, this is something you have to learn. Had you worked at a younger age, you might have a clearer understanding of this now.

My hobbies are Jiu Jitsu and boxing, and they're very important to me, but, work comes first for most people. Right now I'm stuck in the middle of a 48-hour shift. I didn't have a say in working the 48 hours, as I was mandatoried. I'd love to be boxing or grappling instead, but, fuck it man, I've got bills to pay and I need my job.

My advice would be, get some counseling. If you think you're depressed, the PJ message board isn't your answer. You need professional help for this. Also, if your art is truly that important to you, I'm going to assume you're good at whatever art you do. Make that your career. Seriously, that might be the only thing that makes you happy.

Finally, at a time when many people are struggling simply to find a job in any field, or keep jobs they've held for 20+ years, you're here complaining that your employers aren't being fair to you. How many people are being laid off in this economy, and you're quitting your job because your employers aren't sensitive enough to your long list of demands. Good luck.
