That article should have come with some paycheck stubs to prove those salaries. Lets face it yoga and dog walking probaby don't pay that much. Then again if it does she is smarter than most.

who said it does or could not pay that much? When free market principles are applied everyone is a winner especially those with a great product and good ideas. there are dance teachers out there who make 6-figures easily in a year because of the demand for their service. This is American folks don't forget. If you want to win go out and do it!

Default True story...

You know this is funny, but also incredibly sad;

I knew my pay was bad when my priest had to catch himself from saying 'holy sh--!' when my wife and I discussed our income during a marriage prep session.

Ladies and Gentleman, I am a full time CFI/I/MEI, making less than I did as a part time grocery store employee.

P.S. When I worked at the grocery store I didn't get scape goated for mistakes of management, or the customers, or the vendors, or the other employees, or....you get the idea.

I want to win !!

More than anything as a younger person I wanted to be able to live a better life with more time off and better wages. And, I was prepared to work hard for it. In college I worked multiple jobs to pay for tuition and flight training. During the recession of the early 1990's I was laid off from my instructing job and ended up buying a Cessna 150 to instruct in on my own. I could not afford the plane and to pay for an apartment so I was reduced to living in my truck for nine months. I just would not let my dream go.

Imagine what a disappointment it was to find myself at an abusive regional airline seven years later and making less than when I was an instructor. It made me miss living in my truck. I am going to dog walker school !

We can do it !!

absolutely SkyHigh you can do it! Good luck and don't forget there are many young entrepreneurs who did not make their 1st million until later in their lives. sometimes facing tough times can be good in the sense that it allows you to reinvent yourself.
