Methinks there is a little truth in there.







I collect bottles and cans. Hey, it's not grand living, but I get by.

You get paid to study and teach. Depending on the school and depending on whether you get a tunure or sessional position, wage varies quite a bit.

But profs can make quite a lot for the amount of "work" involved.

I do not smoke pot
I am a student, and I plan to either go off to be a paramedic or a nurse.
Something could change down the road but right now that is how its looking. I may even take a year off a ski bum it up in Blackcomb or Colorado. What do you all think?

If I remember correctly we used about 5 ounces.

BTW kids don't try this @ home, I was lucky & never got busted, it can ruin your life, particularly getting caught, and it seems like everybody gets caught sooner or later.
