Out west a lot of full time jobs don't have health ins.
I never provided it for myself or my employees.
When I was in my early twenties and worked for Boeing I had it then.
I've never had any insurance since then until Medicare picked me up at age 65 and now that costs me almost $100 a month.
I paid for medical care up front or on time payments or I just never went to the doctor.

Mike if you are having trouble with key strokes get RDSS and then that problem will be gone.

Being a full timer in this business requires the ability to drive yourself and the self control to accept the percentage of your edge and not go for the big score.
Look at the casinos. They are getting rich off of people trying to score.
Meanwhile only a few do hit a good one and then give it back going for the next one.
Banks and mortgage companies make it big while playing it safe and not investing in high yield high risk investments.
The Investment banks that are now going under got greedy and wanted those high interest high risk mortgages.

A salesman starts out every morning out of work.
The hot dog vendor is out of work if he doesn't go out and do what is necessary every day.
With an employer someone tells you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how much and when you are going to get paid.
Become your own employer and tell yourself what to do and how to do it and when to do it.
Get paid for what you are worth.

A lot of big companies got started when somebody got laid off and had to go it alone.

When I sold my janitorial company to a large corporation, they told me they needed me to stay on for a year and help with the transition so I turned down a high paying job across the state.
The following week a day before I was due to get another weeks vacation they moved me out of my office before dawn, changed the locks and told me they changed their minds, handed me one weeks vacation, shut and locked the door with me standing outside.
This is a company that I started and built up to well over a hundred employees.
It was my baby.

Any time you think you are in solid and will be working next week, watch out.
Look at all the retirement and medical that GM retires had and then suddenly didn't have.

Most everyone on this site knows what to do and how to do it to become full time.
Their biggest problem they lack self confidence.
Self confidence will come from study, practice and keeping records.

I don't mean to sound hard, but it is a hard world when you can't physically work, your retirement is getting eaten up with inflation and you don't have enough money for gas.
I am lucky enough that our cars are paid for and the only debt we have is our home. The monthly mortgage payment is $100 more than my retirement and when we get through paying utilities and insurance with my wifes retirement we have about $250 left for food and entertainment and medical co-payments.
If any one of you are in the same kettle stew I feel for you.
If you don't do something about it thats your own fault.
Me, I'm going to handicap full time till I'm out of the mess I've gotten myself in.
I tried starting in February and fell on my backside.
The first of March I started again only now I'm following the guidelines that have been set down before me by those that are smarter than myself and I seek their counsel every day in the literature provided.

I will prevail.
