Basically save all your money. BTW the boss is a cool ****. He has us playing paintball and fishing trips and sometimes while you're on the job he lets ya go bowling or to the movies on his acct. it's "VERY NIIIIICE"

The job may also take me to iraq, italy, algeria, germany, morocco and other places out of the country. i see it as a blessing, but i wouldn't recommend the job to anyone with kids or a wife.

I see it as less time on the 350z as well.

yeah but 80-100K for a couple of years can bank you enough cash for a really really nice car of choice..
i used to travel a lot and had similiar perks like Thomas... and i saved a lot of money.. being away did get old.. but like he said, if you're single (no kids/wife), it's a nice way to get on top financially at an early age..

It does sound like a great job. I have a gravy job right now but not near that amount of money. I am home every night though. I don't know what I'm going to do as of yet. The company I am with right now told me the other day that they are willing to pay for me to go back to school. I told them that I wanted my mechanical engineering degree. They told me to figure out some numbers, schools, and classes.

i only want to do it for 3 years. I am still thinking of which direction to go in. I could have the most amazing 350z ever or i could just wait and buy that supervette they are making. I also kind of like the Audi R8.
i know what you mean about being on top of your finances at a young age. I am 23 and own my house. my credit is the shlt! i really have my mom to thank for a lot of my success because she taught me at a young age to be really independent. it rocks, i call my auto insurance company to pay bills and they let me know that i am preapproved for a 50,000$ auto loan @ 6% interest.
