RE: I Just Paid My Rent...By Blogging on Steemit (part time)!

I actually liven in Denton these days. Moved here for Barnett work and then the natural gas play died out. I've been bouncing around Pecos and Jal, NM lately.

I can't understand these kids. Either they don't seek out knowledge or they have literally been taught that their smartphones will give them a better life.

It's fun getting them out of that mindset and showing them other routes are available. I'm not saying to stick with the oil field forever. But while you're young, single, no kids, no health problems, then the oil field can be a great world to get in to.

I know a 24 year old named Brandon who's saved up $300,000 or so and is looking to retire by 30.

Love that kid.
