you need to think long term.. its a marathon.. they are sprinting.. but dont realize how long the race is.. get your education.. you will start off behind.. and you will behind for several years... but then you will eventually pass them up..

The baws do well when their trade is in demand. But once the market or technology changes, they either have to move or switch lines of work.

There is less career progression. It's more about the availability of work.

Not many baws make 150k with only high school education, maybe less than .1%. You just have a grass is always greener on the other side BS attitude

I think it’s about what in what.

The older you get the more money you make but then you’re replace by younger for less. Either way you still could end up without a job.

Ok, I was mostly just dickin around in the OP but a lot more than 1% make some serious coin. I deal with a lot of them in my line of work and the earnings they talk about are substantially more than 150k in some cases. I’d say it’s more like 10-15%

Take out multiple loans and rack up credit card debt. Just make sure you die before your credit is completely destroyed

You think anyone can just become a baw? Move out of your house and into a mobile home and you'll be on the right track baw.

It's not hard to make 150k a year if you work 100 hours a week.

The baws I'm familiar with who make serious bank work their asses off and stay gone most of the time, to godforsaken locations here or overseas.

One of them brought home a Ukrainian bride. She landed in Nola and asked him, "are we home?" They passed through Ellick and she asked him again, "are we home?" They got to the deep woods of North Louisiana and he said, "we're home." She almost ran away, but she soldiered on and now seems relatively content. The BMW and diamond rings help her attitude.

Start practicing your lying. Especially about how much you make.
