Well it was kind of tough. I found alot of low paying jobs that would hire a guy with little experience, and then I found a few oil patch ones. I figure the experience I get out here and the cash will both be beneficial to me!

actually what I want to do is drive in a team through the states 24 cents driving or riding that would pile up the money. A couple years for me though gotta be 21 to drive in the states.
