    Go into corrections. I know a few old friends that went that route. They work 4 days on and 4 days off. The pay isn't bad either. They say its a glorified babysitter and nothing like what you see on tv. Some guys get bad but most stay in line. From there you can transfer to the streets or courthouse.

      I need some work out of the country that would b fun... They were sending guys to Dubai in 08 and 09 but I hadn't journeyed out yet. I'm going to start looking into the X-ray tech thing though.I think it's something I might b able to pull off and something I might enjoy.

              I just want to tell you Im proud of you Vicious. It takes balls when youve spent many years working a specific job to not just change jobs but to also go back to school to make it possible. You deserve the best in this life, and Im glad youve made the decision to put in the necessary work to make that possible for you, and your family. Keep kickin ass brother! Happy New Year!

                I would highly recommend not pursuing that route. very few guys make a good living at it. You need to have the right kind of personality and marketing skills.

                    If you have the people skills, there is a lot of great option$! Are you a techie by chance? Huge growth in the tech industry. It's ever lasting like a gob stopper.

                      Look into the job field that you think you want to go into to see what the chances are of staying employed after you get the training. I looked into the news paper and such. I used to work as a heavy Equipment mechanic, I didnt like it so I switched to being an electrician. I went to school full time and worked full time until I was finished. Lots of people do that. There is no glory or glamour but the money is good. I average 75 plus every year. Benifits on top of that.

                          I just had another Idea. Have you thought about looking into a job with one of the Professional Unions? Most of those Unions pay you while you learn. Even if its not a job thats on the top of your list of things to do they all pay good. You might be like me when I was a mechanic, It wasnt my dream job but it let me have the money to do the things that I liked to do. Its just an Idea.

                            I'm in a union right now but like I sad it's not really my dream job and when work slows down u basically go on unemployment which isn't enough to pay my bills. I'm starting to stress a little a think I can squeak by all my bills this week which will basically give me a month to figure something out

                              I got an offer to go and interview for an entry level mortgage loan processor. Anyone have any info they can give me? I told my buddy I didn't even know what that is but he said they are looking for someone who knows nothing but wants to learn and work hard.

                                There is a ton of stuff you can do in that field.....also depending on the bank or company many of them pay for your schooling.....my wife is in underwriting with a large bank and she makes very good money.....go to the interview and check it out
