By far the biggest decision I had to make in life at 20 years old do I buy a house? Or do I buy I job? (school) that I have to live with for the rest of my life because of money and time invested. I went for the house found it tough to decided at 20 what I was going to do for the rest of my life. But I always needed a house no matter what I did. Bought a 4 year old bungalow for a mear $80,000 but interest rate back then was 14%:eek: . Have moved couple times and always made money off them. But it also took me 16 yrs to work up the corporate ladder into a 6 figure income not straight outta school like a lot of people

I'm a bit curious. Who are these 'a lot of people' who earn 6 figures straight out of school? Apparently I took the wrong courses...

No wonder America is suffering from obesity....we've had hamburgers for the last 4 nights in a row. Can't really complain when you're living in someone's house...but I even offered to cook today and he said no. i give up

Me too, if I made 6 figures I'd be a lot better off. Been out of school for 3 years now, not making even close to that.

Easy you can make $100,000 a year driving truck don't even need high school grade 9 is good enough. I don't drive truck and never will....I just manage them. If your looking for a job I can hook you up :wink: You can make over 100G on the rigs with grade 9, running equip at a mine, running HD equipment, crane operators, some plant operators, forestry crews, some skilled trades working with the right companies...but some school involved....also just these jobs you work harder not smarter
