> Agree, if you know how to save money you CAN make and maintain a nice chunk of cash working for someone else… My first job was a fuckin baker at dunkin donuts making $10 an hour plus tips. Everyone I worked with was scummy and lived pay check to pay check… I saved every dollar I had and was living in a studio apartment but had like $20k in the bank which at that time was pretty good. I’ll always opt for business however as I like to be my own boss, create my own hours and make more money then any job I PERSONALLY would be interested in going after… **I actually looked into the Military at one point in time, you dont get paid jack shit but yet at the end of the day youve got over $100k in your bank because your forced to not spend your money for the most part.**

Never join the military for money or benefits including signing bonuses or college money, thats the dumbest idea I constantly hear about, its not some job you can just “quit” when you are sick of it LOL. I hate people that join for all the wrong reasons, if you don’t know what you are getting into then either you are a moron or your recruiter is a tool. Just my opinion LOL.
