> Making even a thousand dollars would help me immensely. I could pay off my tuition, buy textbooks, pay our mortgage, etc. I truly think that anything (which doesn't go against my morals) is worth it, if I make money. Money does buy happiness, in an aspect. Money would free me from worry, and I could pursue my dream job without worrying about feeding my (hypothetical) children. If I seem stupid to millions of Americans, I honestly don't care, I'm paying my bills with my prize money.

I agree. I was thinking I might go on WWTBAM? (although you are right about the stupid tension and, if you're in England, Chris Tarrant making a fool of himself on prime time TV is a definate turn-off) and pay my way through University with enough money to leave in the bank and still get a nice little art trip to Venice. Or a trip to Mexico and then Peru- something that I must do at some point in my life. Oh, and provide for my (hypothetical)children too; that's a good point. And while I'm at it, I can provide for my (hypothetical)husband
