Laid off & need to buy a job?

[phlgirl]

This isn't too hypothetical for me. 18 months ago i had been out of my field for 7 years. I looked at the market and found where the 'boom' was and took a training class ($5k) and got the $140K job a couple months later.

There are some skills and technologies that will bring you 80K very quickly if you have some experience. If I can do it, ...well, you don't need to be a rocket surgeon.

Problem is that I bought a job and someone else owns my arse again. I need to get back to being a "B", I hate 'E' and 'S' did not work for me because I could not effectively manage $10-15/hr employees.

Over twenty years I've become convinced that you can't save your way to wealth or work your way to it nearly as quickly as you can by innovating your way to it the 'B' route.

Mind sharing what field you went into for the quick $140k a year job?

Cheers,

My bet is on software/programming.
