Because most are borderline retarded, barely functional adults that stumbled into a job where they can actually make around (very low) 6 figures.

Ahh Nursing

We need a bunch of nurses you moron. The school you're repping has one of the best programs in the south for nursing, too. Why would you hate on that profession at all?

I've never had that experience, but I'm sure it occurs. I know a bunch of them that love what they do and won't hesitate to let you know.

The industry really is lacking nurses though. It's going to be a problem.

Not going to hate on the roughnecks that are making cash without college debt. Will they hang on to the money? Probably not.

I know a couple few, about half are braggadocious and half not. But each is a hard working mf'er. A couple of them, in particular, are humble dudes that make a very good living and willingly take the crap shift or any overtime no one else is willing to pick up to provide for their family.

I think it has to do with not having the best sense of money management combined with having a lot of time away from home thinking of ways to spend their money in a “fun” way to make life at home more enjoyable.

To each their own

I can go right to the spot I helped put a pipeline across the Mississippi river 40 years ago. Most people can't point at something like that.





Wow.


I mean, that's on par with the Panama Canal right there.

Maybe they surprised themselves by having a job? Or they are seeking validation for providing for their families?

I work oilfield but hate it with a passion. Just using it to pay my student loans off.

All work sucks though
