Sure, Trolle Lena. We will correct you about *your* friends.

Ugh! This is not a troll. I just happen to think my friends have some interesting career paths. So, while I do nothing all day, I yearn to go back to the kind of lives they enjoy in any of the cities that they live in.

No, I'm talking about what your friends do. Not what US News thinks the best jobs are...this ilist is subjective because everyone has different interests.

Not on my Facebook page, but I had to go to my FB page to see their FB pages and status updates on the newsfeed.
