I'm sure you can figure it out. Oh, and it's hilarious that you didn't know the FD has a union.

what is your degree in, again serious question? i plan to finish school and get a degree in mechanical engineering because after working in the field the last 7 years i have an actualy understanding of hydronics, and i think now that piece of paper may be benfeficial.

how is that hilarious? im not a firefighter. im not surprised, that was a legitimate question. im not gung ho union dude, im just proud to be a member of UA LU 100 Dallas, TX. i dont care what any of the others do or have done.

I can appreciate that, but I want a vacation house and I want to be able to travel. I don't buy new vehicles or finance mcmansions, but I am trying to get money while the getting is good.

money management and complacency two toataly different things

Gas goes up a dollar ill complain but not cause its affecting me . ill complain cause i think its a ripoff like everyone else

i have no illusion that ill retire until im 55 or 60 but i am going to school for better opportunitys in life . Once graduated and getting a job i wont change my ways . Just cause i make more money dont mean ill blow it

yall just want more out of life and thats all fine and well . i have no problem living in a 2-3 bedroom house on a small plot of land thats paid off and driving cars till theyre 6 years old instead of getting new every two years

needless to say im a big dave ramsey fan

complacent? Yes, lots of people are like that... and they piss and moan when fuel goes up a dollar per gallon and they pinch pennies on every single purchase they make

I want to retire in my 40's... not have to work for other people in order to "pay my bills" for the rest of my life

I don't know what industries like the oil field and the railroad are going to be doing soon. The ones that require fucked up hours, travel, crappy working conditions ect. I'm not that old and I guess I was born in the last generation of people that actually have a half ass decent work ethic and will show up to work. Now days these 18 to 24 year old kids are a joke. You're lucky if you can get them to work 2 or 3 days a week. Most the guys the railroad hires these days are late 30s to early 40s. They actually want to work and you can depend on them to show up. They've even hired quite a few in their 50s. I think those guys should have their heads examined. I understand if you work out here all your life and your use to the bullshit, but I'd be damned if I came out here at 50 and put up with this crap. Especially after being use to having weekends off and never working nights.

Times are tough... I feel for people who have to enter a new field and get their ass whipped that late in life, but at least they're doing something...

As for the youth not being willing to work? I agree, but there are still lots of young "ruralites" who are willing to bathe in drilling mud for 14 12's straight in order to get somewhere in life. Seen it many times over the past 5-6yrs and it's given me a small glimmer of hope vs. when I lived in the metroplex and saw all of the future baristas acting like their shit didn't stink
