If life weren't about money.

     If life weren't all about money what would happen? What would I do if I didn't have to worry about rent and tuition and gas money and food money. There is just an endless list of things that cost money. It is probably the most stressful thing in my life trying to figure out how much I will be able to spend this month. Debt is a scary thing. I have been doing everything in my power to avoid debt but honestly as a college student it is difficult. I go to school all day and then I go home and do homework and I go to work as a janitor three times a week. There just isn't more time to work. Yet I am doing something good. 
     If the world didn't have money what would happen. I guess a capitalist government wouldn't function without money the way we have it. The government would have to be socialist. Or maybe not what about the  law of consecration? Does money exist in the law of consecration or is everything just a responsibility. 
     Who would decide who gets to go to college? How would work be split up. I know even in today's world there are a lot of people who would like to go to college who didn't get the chance. Furthermore other countries already have different ways of doing schooling. Argentina for example colleges are owned by the government and are free to citizens. Meaning you can get your degree at no cost to you. And you can get more than one degree. People here might think that that is crazy but if you think about it for a second its really just investing in your own people. nothing more. they are simply investing money to make their citizens worth more. What kind of return will that have in the future?
    Maybe that is what is bugging me. School is so expensive. Not just in money but in time and effort too. It takes a lot of work to get a degree, any degree, at least at a major university it does. Maybe that is why they are worth so much on a resume. It tells potential employers that you know how to work. 
     One problem with that is that I am planning on getting a degree in education. Meaning I will eventually end up teaching high school, private or public I haven't decided yet. the issue is that teachers make so very little money. If education is so expensive why are teachers paid so poorly. 
    Maybe it isn't that poorly but I am thinking in comparison to other jobs. I guess I have no authority to talk about that either because I am not in the working field yet. for now I guess I will just do my best to get by. what else can I do?
