boeyong I would say men are more likely to be depressed more. It has nothing to do with the times and I am not "old-fashioned" but I do think men tend to see a much bigger picture than women. There is a saying that men will be comforable with a million dollars while...

I did some mystery shopping

kieungoc @kieungoc (232) • United States 4 Apr 08

I finally got a bunch of jobs, but they were all at Subway. I accepted 7 jobs and I am starting to think it's not worth the time. Does anyone else do this and if yes, what kinds of jobs do you get? Do you think it's worth it?
