Currently I have a job and a future wife, so in many ways I am rich.

I love my fiancée, she supports me in so many ways. Currently she is working at the campus store of the college that we just graduated from and conducting with the orchestra on campus. She makes me so proud with what she does with music. It's quite amazing to hear and see her talk about music. I find it hard not to share in her joy. She has applied for graduate school a few different places and hopefully with be hearing back soon from them. Currently we live out in the middle of no where in my home town, she is renting an apartment out here. So far it's just not that great out here. She is separated from her family as we plan our wedding and I can not find a decent job. I work at the local gas station, from 10 pm to 6:30 am. It's sad yesterday I said that I WANT THE 9-5 JOB! Yes most of those jobs I would hate, but I want to work normal hours (which my definition of that is anything in the 9 am to 1 am range) and I want a wage that I am worth. Now that something I really struggle with lately. At times I feel like since I have earned a BA in Mathematics I should be entitled to something more than minimum wage, but then I think we should be humble and are we really entitled to anything?

So really as human beings, how much are we entitled to and how much do we have to earn through pure sweat and blood?
