I once was hitchhiking from Mtn. Home down to Elko. Got a ride down to that tiny Berg just south of the Indian reservation. A rancher and his wife picked me up , saying they were headed to their ranch way outside Elko. On the way down , they offered me a job on the ranch ! <br />Just goes to show that even in Elko Nevada, there are jobs. One must think outside the box eh. To survive in this world, be adaptable.<br />By the way...didn't take the job and they dropped me off on the highway where the turnoff to their ranch was. I ended up walking bout twenty-five miles or so down into Elko.Spudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689059709873763146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-72148418403280174212018-07-17T18:33:43.755-07:002018-07-17T18:33:43.755-07:004:49-thank the bankers behind the govt and corpora...4:49-thank the bankers behind the govt and corporations.

Welcome to the new millennia. You have to be "diversified" (NOT diversity!) and be capable of doing many things. In time you will get good at those many things and you can charge more for your service as people get used to you. This is a whole different way of looking at the world and most people have been sufficiently programmed to abhor it, but it is a fact of life now. When I first started working in 1970 it was possible to work 40 years for 1 employer and then retire but now you're lucky if you can get 1 solid year from any employer willing to pay decent coin. The key here is to become self sufficient regarding your income and you'll be better all the way around. Depending on others through employment makes you, well, dependent. By working for yourself you get to do what you like and keep what you earn - the way it was always meant to be. ghostsnipernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-29746204065234957812018-07-17T17:02:37.704-07:002018-07-17T17:02:37.704-07:00Maybe the fed gov will wise up and just pay some o...Maybe the fed gov will wise up and just pay some of us "Malcontented Minions" a 'universal basic income-stipend' to have 'em put out to pasture, and just be required to stay out of sight-out of mind in a hinterland area.

Gov't contracts require diversity hiring, prevailing wage, enviromental studies. H.R. departments mandate it as a practice to pre-empt liability/lawsuits.

If you have enough equity in your city home, and can cash out, and get out, you might be okay, providing that you’re wise enough with your money from then on out. I live outside of a town of about 7K, and though limited, there are some employment opportunities here, and in the nearby surrounding areas. But I’m also only about 25 miles away from a city of about 250K (And a real shithole of a city it be, too!). So if you’re even further out than where I am (as you would want to be) there wouldn’t be much in the way of employment at all. <br /><br />I don’t have the answer. Obviously, for those that are skilled, and have the option to telecommute, this is a non-issue. I’m guessing that few fall into this category though. You might be able to set up some sort of home based business, but this is becoming harder in the age of Amazon and Ebay, unless you’re offering some kind of niche item or service. Not having debt opens up many more options, and allows you to be employed at a lesser line of work (fast food, paper route, for the few oldsters that still receive a paper). But even these types of jobs are hard to come by in the much smaller town areas. <br /><br />One thing is for certain. If you still need to work following the move, you will have to be willing to consider many types of work that you might have turned down in the past. Seasonal work might be an option, leaving your main residence for a few months out of the year, while at least one family member stays behind to look after things.
