After working for Fluid Motion for the last 2 1/2 years, building 136 boats for both the Ranger Tugs line and the Cutwater line, I have decided to move on and up. I applied for the assembly lead position at Aspen Power Catamarans and got the job. $22 per hour to start. They look like a great boat, and the owner was the founder of Glacier Bay. Pretty excited, $4 more per hour equals the payment on a new truck after 160 hours. Just wanted to share my excitement, more dough to do some more work on the coach.

Mucho congrats, Jared. I don't know anything about the Aspens, but I would love to have either a Ranger or Cutwater. Both way out of my affordability, though.

Happy to hear about anyone moving up and making a change for the posative. Like someone else indicated, save a few dollars for education and retirement. How do I know this? Six children, three in college, can't retire.

Rick M. My old man was able and willing to put all four of us through 4 years of college. That didn't mean art/music or history or other major whose only career track after college is to teach it. There was zero dollars for anything other than room rent and food. I got side jobs for everything else. Only one of us made it through 4 years on his dime (older sister got her degree in microbiology). I saved him two years of tuition and fees by getting an Air Force scholarship my last two years (electrical engineering). My brother dropped out after two years (mechanical engineering) and finally got a degree in Math on his own nickels after 36 years. My younger sister got a 2-year degree (veterinary technician) from a junior college.
The old man did pretty well for a son of a Depression era Alabama sharecropper, never mind that he didn't even finish the 8th grade.
Every generation should do better by their offspring than the last. College costs being what they are making the size of college loans qausi-predatory these days, any kid able and willing to do the coursework for a worthwhile degree needs help. My plan right now is to sell the house and downsize if their college fund dries up before they each get 4 years. Fortunately, the oldest is planning to do his first two years in a junior college and is working "part" time (he has not worked less than 32 hours a week since he hired on, one week he did 42 hours). The youngest doesn't finish high school until 2016 and if he doesn't get a scholarship to a 4-year college, will also do his first two years at a junior college.
GMC content: RVing in a GMC is educational, especially when things don't go right and you have to show them how to deal with the situation with what you got on hand.

One of my dreams is say a 43' sail cat, I would prefer to buy it some where around the Caribbean or Mediterranean.
My wife's parents believed if a child truly wanted an education they should pay for it themselves so they would value it. My wife became a teacher, her sister a partner in a prominent law firm and the other sister a cultivator of herbs
So my children have to do it not their own dime, we all know who is boss!
Oh, Daughter, Arts with philosophy major degree so far and a son in second year engineering at UBC, electrical, programming, business
