I chose NBA (now ERA) and make a little more than when I was hustling as a ER FO, but the 6 months I rolled thunder last year. Yeah. That paid for a lot of my new house.
If I was hired in my 40s and family didn't take priority (no kids at home etc. not a judgement) I probably would have done it sooner given a shorter earning potential duration. Makes perfect sense.
But still... New Jersey?! :@
