Not Just a "Dirty Job" ??

[TAB]

I don't know any vets getting rich, but i know several doctors that are.   i also know doctors that are broke.     i know nurses that make more then the doctors they are under.

THIS!!!  I'm twice the age of most of my co-workers (I really shouldn't call them that) and I do more work by accident before 7 am than they will do all day.

That's the 80/20 rule that's universal in our society.  Only 20% actually do all the work.  The other 80% are along for the ride because of laziness and/or incompetence.

Hi;

     I wonder if all of this unemployment and not being able to get the type of job you went to college for - in the long run may be a good thing for the Country ?

     The younger generation(s) being brought up believing that you need a college education to "get ahead" and "make real money" will turn the tide of/on liberalism and keep a lot of these kids from "loosing" their common sence and not being "brainwashed"..

     It may be a 5 year future observation to see if/how things turn out.

The real money to be made, as alluded to by TAB, is working for yourself.  The problem is .gov rules & regulations (written by beuacrats that couldn't poor piss out of a boot with the instructions on the heal) that make that too expensive to do in certain arenas.

Underground economy anyone?

Unless you're importing drugs or manufacturing fake IDs, as sanctioned by the government, the currency thing makes grey/black market ideas less attractive. I've thought about how that might apply to firearms. The logistics of it make it easier to import AKs off the same Chinese/Russian ships floating off the coasts that offload the drugs or make the furniture..
I wonder if they still do it that way, or if 9/11 made it easier to just have the stuff muled north across the border?..
(I'm old. My observations are from 30 years ago. What do I know. I'm happily "out of the loop"..)
