    Sounds like my kind of money, not that North Dakota sounds all that appealing....

    It's a total Dump and the only reason to be there is to make money and retire early. Otherwise there isn't much reason to be there.
    Home is where I can live comfortably and provide a nice living for my family though.

    You would need to be at 26% to make that kind of money at Power Fuels and it would take you a couple years to get to 26%

    My buddy sleeps in his own rv every day. It's a far cry from a man camp. The company owns apartment buildings where you can have your whole family living with you. I wouldn't call that a man camp.

    That could very well be true and if that's the case I'd rather make $50,000 a year working 2 days a week and be home with my family 7 days a week than making $80,000 a year and be away from my family 5 days a week. That would give me plenty of time to do some extra curricular work to make up the difference and still be home with my family 7 days a week.

    You can make good money at Walmart or UPS.
    That is if you're will to sell your soul to the company.
