[IGotWorms 3,440]

1. Liberal, although I don't really like pigeonholing like that. Socially, I am a libertarian. I don't want the Patriot Act or no-warrant wiretapping, but I also don't want Joe Lieberman and Hillary Clinton telling me what I can and can't watch on TV. Economically, I believe in government spending for things like education and health care, but I am opposed to free-loader programs like unfettered welfare. I wouldn't call myself "fiscally conservative," but at the same time I think it is stupid to sink billions of dollars into war without any corresponding increase in taxes.

 

2. First job: sales clerk in a shoe store

 

3. I grew up in a middle class home

 

4. I do have schooling beyond high school

4a. I paid for it through loans, with a little help from my parents

2. What was your first job - paperboy

3. Was your home poor, middle class or well-to-do/rich - middle

4. Did you graduate from any post high school education facility - bachelors and MBA

4a. If so, how was it paid for - bachelors - student loans, now repaid; MBA - part me, part scholarship

5. Have you ever been on any form of welfare (food stamps, WIC, medicare, etc.) - no

I might prove your point, I dunno - highly educated seems to = social liberal these days. Didn't see any other advanced degrees in the responses, and few non-conservatives as well.
