          Oil drilling at extreme sea depths. Look if you figure out how to kill a gushing well at 5000 ft below sea level you will make millions.

                not true. Most people do not have the balls to do anything on their own. Tons of financial companies you can work with for yourself. The problem is most people are not willing to do the work to see the positive results.

                    Yeah, and you only need a 4 year degree in Engineering. As long as you go to a decent school for it, and do well you can make alot of me money right outta school in almost any engineering field. My school has a half decent engineer program and my buddy just graduated and is making 73,000 right outta school.

Unless you become a good Dentist, Doctor or high powered Attorney. Sure you there are professions where you can make 6 figures easy but do you want to be on the high end close to 7? Orale
                      My father and I have a machine shop...Just the 2 of us working there, and it is hands down the best thing I've ever decided to do. My dad does all the office work, getting jobs and whatnot, I do most of the work.

                      I don't know why it is, But all of my nurse friends tell me that male nurses are always wanted.

                          Lot of women aren't comfortable with a male doctor either but they would be even less comfortable with a male nurse.
                          nope hospitals want male nurses over female nurses

                            Tomato's neighbor is a recruiter and will hire you anywhere in the country for 120k if you are a nurse and know the computer systems.

                                There can't be a reasonable explanation unless hospitals are being forced to fill the positions with 25% male.

                                        Stay with something hands on and something that can't be outsourced. Plumber, electrician, auto repair are good, but make sure you are in business for yourself. or go work for someone until you get all of your certifications and education, then leave for your own business.

                                            No need to do that in Califas. You are allowed to grow it in your casa.

                                              male nurses are in demand for the same reason as males are in demand for everything else. They don't bleed 7 days out of the month & turn psychotic

                                                      I went out with a girl a few times who was a paramedic. She made pretty good money but odd hours & gruesome stuff, working car wrecks & stuff.

                                                      I really liked her, but she woke me up one night to tell me I was snoring & I told her to get her toothbrush & get the fuk out!!!

                                                          Maybe I'm old fashioned but that's like a male hairdresser.


                                                          Wow welcome to 2010 dude.


                                                          Are you stuck in a 1968 time warp?


                                                          I'm neither a nurse or a hairdresser but there are tons of men in the RN field these days.

Starting will range anywhere from 65-75k depending on what company you get into. I know a manager at ATT so ill try to get in over there. The certificate alone is only 17 units which you can knock out in a semester if you have a basic understanding of what your already learning.
