Seriously though...I know of a lot of people that are hiring right now BUT they arent the high tech high paying jobs of the past.  The job market has switched  Here's an example:

In 2000 i was getting out of the Marines for the first time....I had 5 years of experince in RF and RADAR technology with microcomponent ciricut board repair.  I was a needed technician.  I put my resume on the internet and within 24 hours had 5 interviews set up.  

that was then.

I was hired by a company that repaired and serviced land mobile radios and trunking systems.  I loved my job and was great at it....then motorola came out with a new radio and said they will fix or replace any radio for $200.   Well there was no need for a well trained highly paid technician any more all they needed was a contractor to maintain the trunk and a shipping clerk to send and recieve the radios.  I was unemployed.  I retrained into a more "mechanical" discapline and I'm not happy with what I do.

Point of this whole rant is there are plenty of jobs out there right now....you just have to know were to look and maybe retrain your self to do somthing you think may be "below you"

Will this affect your trip?

From the Austin paper today:

 

RV company president guilty


A federal jury on Monday found the president of a recreational vehicle company with dealerships in Buda, Seguin and Mission guilty of money laundering and bank fraud.

Federal prosecutors charged that Jim Rich, 55, president of Interstate RV Center Inc., misrepresented his inventory of recreational vehicles on applications for loans from Pacific Southwest Bank. The loans were "floor plan loans" and were contingent upon Rich putting a bank lien on unsold vehicles.

Rich was found guilty of four counts of money laundering, money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to commit bank fraud and aiding and abetting bank fraud. The top count carries a maximum punishment of 30 years in prison.

Rich was indicted in May after an investigation by special agents with the IRS and the FBI. The U.S. attorney's office in Austin prosecuted the case.

Eagler,

Think about this a moment. In a couple months I'll be traveling where I want when I want whenever I want. I'll be staying in my own home which will follow along behind my RV motorhome toter and all without my having to work, AND I'll be getting money to do it with.

Please think about this while you are in your 9 to 5 job. I'll be touristing, fishing, hiking, hunting, photographing, scuba diving, snorkeling, internet browsing (by satelite), watching TV and generally enjoying the sights and activities this continent can provide.



In short this sums it up.

NEENER NEENER NEENER :p

Lol Mav!

This retirement stuff is a beach, ain't it?

Finally doing what YOU want to do ALL the time instead of what someone else wants you to do?

Oh, the horror!  :)
