Sitting Back User ID: 24088848 United States 09/23/2012 10:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I run my own business. I do okay. My wife is an RN. Our combined income is descent. I like what I do. I also run a small ranch. However, these days it's more a right off than a for-profit endeavor. Quoting: AmericanJedi I am working on a advanced degree in engineering and polishing up my CNC skills. I also maintain my paramedic licence, however, I am considered 'inactive' since I only first respond as a volunteer for our local VFD. I am a serial skill acquirer and a junkie for new trade skills. It's just me. All that said, I rip my hair out if I had to go into a cubicle . No amount of cash could get me in that life, I turn tricks on the interstate first! Read it as serial killer And the beat goes on -- AMK |

Only 4 years out of school though, so the ceiling is higher for this profession ... probably around $80,000 - $110,000 depending upon the size of the company and the local market. |

I pass up OT every chance I get, wife is a teacher and we're about 100k combined. If you can't live on that you've issues. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24283912 how many kids asshole and give us some specifics of where you live - urban? rural? I agree $100K for two people with no kids is not at all bad depending on where you live and what you have to do for it. But from your post I am guessing you don't have "issues" and maybe that what you meant - if you can't live on that you've got issues (legalese for "kids") |

I'm sure nobody will believe me, but I will make well over $300,000 this year. I have not made less then $200,000 per year in the last ten, except for one year. It took/takes a lot of long hours and travel, but the money is great! I don't think I could ever go back and work for anybody else. |
