The good jobs and positions are out there. They aren't easy to find, but if you persist then you'll get there one day.

I concur. I really couldn't give a hoot if I don't become Senior CP of XYZ Air Line or of ABC Freighthaulers. I, too, am looking for a decent lifestyle and a middle class life just as TP has put it. In addition, having a two income household is something that I have been use to ever since I can remember and for me, I believe it sets a good example for children to emulate. JMO.
Btw, both my parents are retired school teachers and they did one helluva job working full-time, active in the community & church, active in their respective fraternity/sorority and raising five children and providing a safe and stable family environment.
