I know some deafies who have spent 10 to 20 years just to go up a rung or two on the ladder.

I read an article in the newspaper saying that more and more companies are now considering 40 hours as "part time" and expect their employees to work at least 50 hours in order to maintain "full time" status. With this as a problem, a lot of parents are choosing part-time jobs over full time since they can collect SSI/SSDI and still be home for their kids.
Yikes! I put in 50 to 60 hours a week but I am fortunate to have excellent child care for my girls.

Better not kidnap this thread but hey morpho, here you go - this could make a good topic for your class Best of luck
