If someone would have shown me a crystal ball in 99, when I started school at 20 years old, and I would have seen that it was going to take me 7 years to get my income back up over 30k a year. I would have said no way in hell, even if it snowed there. To pay for college I used to work 84 hour weeks as welder and they paid me $2700 for that work. I was able to save eneugh money in that time to pay cash for school. If I had kept doing that job I could have paid cash 150k house, and been working 1 week a month now.
Of course now that I'm here I LOVE my job I just dont like all the poverty I had to endure to get here. I could go back to welding tomorrow, but I've never seriously considered it.
