What's your opinion on the degree for art? Somehow I don't see the point in pursuing a degree for illustration art because I have after I finished with my art major. A diploma is all I need. What it's needed the most in the...

Monkeyrose In the economy of the country I live in an Arts Degree would be pretty useless. However having a BA in anything is pretty useless as well. You usually need to do more training. A lot of people I know do a degree and then do a two year technical program. It...

Monkeyrose I am great at cheap travel. 1. Couchsurfing.org. This is a hospitality website in which travellers are matched up with people who have a couch or bed to sleep on. The entire site is based on a give and take system and others helping each other out. A big...

I feel such a need to escape somewhere far away, to just do only the things I want, without anybody to remind me from daily life... I have a lot of great friends and a wonderful boyfriend. But I want to think only at me for some...

Monkeyrose I travel alone quite a lot. At first I started traveling alone because none of my friends were interested in traveling in the same way I was. It was either travel alone or do not travel at all. I choose to travel alone. It has been an amazing experience. I...

I don't like to go on an all inclusive vacation because traveling independent brings money into the local community. Tourist money can give a foreign place valuable funds. Some all inclusive hotels are owned by rich westerners. If...

Monkeyrose I think that there are many different forms of travel. These forms of travel vary with the person. Some people are more independent than others. I used to go on a lot of All inclusive and tour type vacations. I recently went to Ireland and planned it all...

Monkeyrose Thanks for the vote of confidence. This is very true. In the Yukon territory we have a airline called Air North that does very well. It is owned mostly by the Vuntut Gwichen first nations of Old Crow. They are a fly in only community so it made business sense...

Monkeyrose This makes sense. In Canada it is common for older chinese people to collect bottles. Usually its when they are retired. They will walk about during the day and collect them. I think this is good because it gives the elders something to do and also gives them...

Monkeyrose Yes, up north where I live usually most people don't recycle their bottles. I used to pick bags up from my friend's house. It was a nice little way to make extra money. A lot of recyclables end up in the landfill. My friend's father used to collect them...

Monkeyrose Yeah it takes a lot of bottles here. You can make money but you have to be willing to dig in trash and stuff. I'm trying to do odd jobs but no one I know so far has odd jobs for me to do. I've advertised on facebook and craigslist. I have also told...
