No I don't want to stay in the hotel business, I want to do something to the extent of starting an online business. After I can get a decent bank roll I also want to start investing, possibly in real estate.
With my job, even though I only work 9 months, I still get to collect unemployment for the other 3 months, which isn't as much as I would normally get paid, but it helps. It will usually pay for a plane ticket and a month or two living in a third world country. Like is said, it's not perfect, but it's better than working all year for 2-4 weeks off. I also get pto in addition to the 3 months off. I think you get 1 day for every 80 hours worked, so it ends up being something like 2 or 3 additional weeks on top of the 3 months.
As far as the last paragraph, the kids in my hometown seem miserable. One of the kids is dating the highschool whore. A bunch of others have been on or are still on all sorts of drugs. A high percentage with kids are no longer with their baby mommas and probably only get to see their kids once or twice a week. I mean some of them seem happy, but I think it's kind of like saying you're happy living in a place like DC only because you haven't traveled anywhere else. When really if you lived in New York life would be ten times funner. Most of them don't have much of a frame of reference. I'd say at least 60-70% of these kids have never been anywhere outside of the states that border nevada, and if they have it wasn't for more than a week. I don't know though, it's all relative. I'm sure some of them are very genuinely happy, but it doesn't really seem to be the case for a lot of them. I personally couldn't be happy living like that.
