I want to be a florist. Senior Florists make $16/hour in my area. That's barely enough to earn a living, at least here in Los Angeles. My parents suggested I can become an office clerk (salary: $15/hour) or payroll clerk (salary: $22/hour) since these are more stable positions. _______ Advice Please. Would it be possible to be a senior florist and move to another state?

Best answer: Because of bad parenting, if a child learns to accept failure, learn, and move on from there then they (HE or SHE) will be more successful at life and not take rejection, failure, and disappointment personally and rant about it

Last week I was robbed a man came behind me and snatched my purse when I was on my way home in broad daylight. I tried to hold on to my purse but the guy ripped it from my hand. I filed a police report and there wasn't much they could do. I never been through anything like this. I came to terms with what happened but it really bothers me that this guy is still out there and could do it again to someone else

Best answer: He was invited to give this sermon by the bride and groom and his speech was about the teachings of Jesus Christ.

So I can only assume you are not a Christian.

Best answer: I think having a normal day job to start with would be good. Then pursue this on the side, as an extra passion of yours. Maybe study with some good teachers, so that you get more experience, and at least a few credentials and recommendations. People tend to take you more seriously that way. And it also shows that you're serious about what you're doing.

Having a website where you offer your services is good. You can also, eventually, create your own events on Facebook and such, in order to spread the word. But then of course you'll need to find somewhere to host them. Don't overcharge people. ESPECIALLY not in the beginning! Maybe be open to having Skype sessions where people donate according to their own income, and what they feel like your services are worth? And again: don't make it your one and only source of income, right now. Just a side business that you're exploring, to see if you can actually make a living off of this.

That's just my take, though... But I also think, you should do some of your own research! Why do you just keep asking this question on Y!A, time and time again? As if that's going to solve it... You seem to have a LOT of dreams in life, but not the guts to actually go through with it! And you just don't seem particularly resourceful, looking for constant reassurance from other people, and things.. :S Not saying that to be mean. But if I were to seek out a spiritual teacher, in my life..? It would be someone resourceful, well-functioning and creative, who had their own sh*t in order! So that they could help me work on MY sh*t... If you catch my drift. :-P

Also, something else I'm thinking: you seem to be in a bit of a strange position, ideology-wise! In that you're sort of a Christian, but also sort of alternative/New-Age-y.. And I definitely think that could be part of the reason why a lot of people wouldn't be attracted to what you're selling! Because anything New-Age-y like that..? Is just NOT attractive to most Christians! They see it as evil and demonic, and will use that as a reason not to trust you! While for more alternative, New-Age-y people like me..? A lot of us have had bad experiences with Christianity, just generally get a bad vibe from organized religion, and do NOT want any of that in our lives! So I'll admit, when someone tries to sell me something that is SORT OF in my world, but then ALSO so obviously tainted by Christianity..? I immediately lose interest!

..Just speaking the truth here. I know you can't change who you are. But that's probably how a lot of people feel... Unfortunately for you. :S

Watching the videos of the high school shootings in Santa Fe TX some commenters doubt what's happening and say it's all fake.

Best answer: Up until 1774, the American colonies had King George III as Head of State but they decided they could do without him and had a revolutionary war against Britain gaining independence. They then decided they didn't want a King and wrote the Constitution accordingly. The USA could reinstate the monarchy if they wanted to but amending the Constitution to the extent necessary to do it would be just about impossible.

Where I live there is a handful of restaurants, however when I go inside of them the women are all masculine, sweaty and dirty and they appear to work out in a gym and take tostesteroine pills, and they carry an aggressive, defiant attitude, and are rude natured, The place tends to be overrun by blacks and Hispanics and there tends to be a theme there that is prap and hip hop, Seldom I would see a waitress come in there from a far around town to work and they would be all normal, they wouldn't stay there long, they would freak out and quit after two weeks because of the work environment, Why is it like this where I live?

Best answer: PRO ISRAEL....they are outnumbered by unfriendly neighbor countries about 40 to 1 and yet have never lost a war, and they are supposed to be God's chosen people, the only TRUE friend USA has in the Middle East.

If you see an Indian/Asian guy walking down the street will you assume he is nerdy/unathletic/awkward. Just be honest. Likre this includes people of asian/indian descent as well also.

Best answer: Not necessarily. If a person is being accused of something, but they are innocent, it's also natural to be defensive when falsely accused.

is this one of the main groups along with "minorities" that are a large part of the school bullying that goes on in the USA? why this is? how true?

My boyfriend and I are currently in a three year relationship. In the three years we were together, we had only ever gone on four dates. Two outings. When I moved away, I could only see him once every six months. But even then, he stuck by me and stayed loyal. I admire that, and I am grateful for that. He has expressed disapproval towards interracial couples. He is white, I am oriental (Chinese/Vietnamese). He used arguments that applied to either genetics or environment; he ignored my argument that both contributed to a heritage. Specifically, he said that the blacks brought slavery to themselves and said that no matter what, they had lower IQ. He said it was in their culture, and mixing black and white would turn the child "genetically inferior". When I asked him about us, he said that "white-asian couples benefit the most, second to asian-asian couples". I know he possibly could have said that to reassure me, but it made me feel like he was only in it for the benefit. He said that it benefit the both of us. Adding onto the fact that he told me he had a particular liking towards asians; I felt like I was being fetishized. Finally, he attempted to guilt trip me by saying he could have left me, but he didn't. After hearing what he said and how he completely discriminated, disrespected and insulted other races that didn't seem "acceptable" or "beneficial" to him. I don't know what to think. I'm in shock. I've tried talking to him; he doesn't listen. What do I do?
