the fact that he's annoyed by this to the point of posting about it belies his own inferiority complex.


I'm not annoyed by it. I just wonder why it seems to be mostly in that particular field

I'm not. I'm saying that tagline shows the creativity of only a HS graduate.

We have it good the offices. Just show respect they take pride in their craft. Hopefully you do the same.


I work 12 hours a day 6 days a week sometimes 7 managing a catfish farm and make a little over 100k after benefits. Love my job and have pride in it. I don't publicly find the need to tell everyone all the time though

I work 13 hours a day 6 days a week sometimes 7 while managing a stingray farm and make a little over 101k after benefits. Love my job and have pride in it. I don't publicly find the need to tell everyone all the time though.

I hate when people go out of their way advertise their job, career or profession.

Totally gauche and trashy.

could care less about being addressed as Dr. and rarely introduce myself as such..even to patients. I know many who are the same. Gotta love a good OT generalization tho....

think farmers don't want anyone to know they are rich since taxpayers are funding it.




Farmers are the opposite. They always claim to be broke and about to go under...as they climb into a F150 platinum and head to the lake cabin for the weekend

You've been super vocal and braggadocious about your own profession and money making, so I say pot meet kettle.

Maybe you're projecting a little here.

I seriously only know roughly 3 posters professions on here and yours is one of them because you've brought it up so much. You even went on and on about how much money you make and how much you love your job and other personal issues related to that.

Not saying theres anything wrong with that, but I think you can probably take a little facebook garbage from time to time. Stop comparing yourself if you're successful.

I work in Midland, Tx for a large company. Its VERY hard work, and its a profession that gives one thing that makes this country great. Opportunity, and the chance to make serious money. Like 150-200k, working 8 months out the year. Take your daddy's trust fund money and shove it up your d*ck. Jobs like this happened because of the man that resides @ 1600 Pennsylvania avenue. The boom is cranking up in Stonewall, La too..plenty jobs are available.

know farmers with no college education that are millionaires and they don't have "farmer trash making farmer cash" stickers on their truck or boasting about how women drop their panties when they hear you're a farmer.
the only rich farmers I know
1. Have paid off family land
2. Have family money
Or
3. Work 16 hour days every day of the year
