I miss Sears
I worked on commission sales when a 42-inch flat screen was $5000
Paid 100% of my grad school
BTW I had to do 48 credits as my undergraduate was in Naval Science

I am NOT an expert in this field, but this is working for me.

Tips about writing prompts: Treat as an intern you will get better results.

I loved that neighborhood and would move back in a heartbeat. I never felt unsafe, I had good relations with my neighbors, and the food was great.
