I think the oil field is pretty good. I dont know im still in school but i have a summer job. When i get out of school im going to work for the oil field for a while.

I gotta job that is piece rate and work 6 days a week from Now until school starts in the fall. Some days its 2 or 3 hours of work some saturdays its 14 but gives me about 40k for the summer witch for a single guy living in Idaho is pretty decent coin.

Be willing to make sacrifices

Some great advice on here. Be willing to make sacrifices. I live in MT but my career requires that I travel out of state for long periods of time. I could get a job in MT doing the same thing, but unfortunately in our market I would make about half of what I do now. So my trade off is that I work other places so I can afford to do the things I do in MT. I.E. sledding, hunting, golfing etc...Quite a few of the cliche sayings you hear "hard work pays off" and "with great sacrifice comes great reward" are true. Oh yeah, while good for comedic value, I wouldn't recommend delving into the drug trade. And trust me, dating strippers is not a financially wise move.

 

[Why Not]

I think it was Mark Twain who said "I've been rich and I've been poor, and it's a lot funner being rich."

We live in a great country. I'm dumb as a stump, and even I have figured out how to make a few coins in life. I think a lot of people get a job and call it good. The only one who puts limitations on how much money you can make is yourself. If your buddy rides a 30K sled, he's probably figured out how to take the cap of limitations off his head.

There is a poem by Linda Ellis called "The Dash." A good read that fits the discussion on this topic very well. Would post it on here but don't know how the rules are around here. Do a web search and read it if you get time.

Hey Farms-1,There is no problem with your Dash poem. I'll post it for you.

I got a decent enough paying job, but I counterbalance with a Kid and a Wife, thus I got no TURBO.

Travel claims are like pots of gold when your married, especially if they cut you a check for it.
