suggestion for working RV ers

Forthe past three years I worked at Roach prison at Childress,TX. Prior to that I worked at YDDC in Albuquerque for one year. Lived in MH during week, home on weekend. Guard & teacher jobs are available nearly all the time. Schools are year-around (220 days). Wyndham School Dist. has schools in about 90 prisons in TX. Openings all time,somewhere. RV sites pricy in ALB ($350 up-Yr. contract). Found nice RV park in Wellington, TX (70 mi. round trip from Childress). Park full 1st Sept. when I left. Might be opening now. Putting in several transmission lines in area. Rented my site for $75 monthly - no contract. Had a carport for my toad. He told me he was raising rate. Will still be reasonable.

    Now I have a mental image stuck in my head.... Roaches wearing prison uniforms, living behind bars.

    We trade in the stock market for a living day trading. We do it from anywhere even when we are out and about site seeing. It isn't as dangerous as some think if you use the right precautions. We spent a long time studying and learning taking classes. We aren't filthy rich or anything, but it does more than pay the bills,and for our traveling, and as anything we are getting better and better all the time. If you are wanting to retire early, and want to travel, I would highly suggest it. It has also brought wife and I closer as we work together at it. You have to work hard as there is a lot to learn, but if we can do it anyone can.
