Yeah I wondered if you would reply. I have done some net searching but it's always hard to get a real world review of things. I have an odd work schedule and have the time to work a second job, but I want to make sure I can stick with for awhile and make decent money at it. I want to work in something that will always be "needed" like insurance for example. If I had it my way I'd be a part time forest ranger and spend my days off patrolling the wilderness.

But I dream. I'm kind of thinking out loud and maybe someone will post of something I've not thought of or researched.

That other job I spoke with you about was not what it seemed. BAD job.

Learn to dream during the day, not at night.

If you want to be a park ranger, do that - or something similar to it. Your subconscious will thank you, and start figuring out how to become one.

I'm looking into it right now.

I still think insurance work would be a good fit for me. I would like being out in the "field" but not so entrenched in it that I would be an agent. I alreayd have a career that I LOVE, and it pays ok, but some extra money would be nice and maybe something when I retire. I may retire early if I play my cards right.

while my timing may be bad I did think about home appraisal.
