@Mercer Sounds too hard of a job. Why not do something easier?

I've been a carny my entire life and it's my talent, even though it's a hard job.

sheesh $300 per week!? That's hardly enough to even cover food costs. Just go be an over the road truck driver and you can make $1300 per week, have a place to live, and a vehicle with which to go pick up groceries from walmart.

You mean obtain a CDL (Commercial Driver License)? Driving a truck is hard work. And those guys are a bunch of roughneck hard-asses. Not everyone can do that shit. @rudder I bet you think you're a real hard-ass. I'm from TN. I don't suck dick. I suck vagina.

You should see the guys at my motorcycle clubhouse. We don't drink piss warm beer. WE DRINK PISS WE DRINK IT COLD.

It doesn't make much money which is why I live in an RV but it's enough for me. I just enjoy being a carnival freak, it's really the only thing I've been good at my entire life.

Lots of regular people with cdls driving trucks. It's really not a big deal. It's not hard work. Farming, construction, dock work, there's some hard work. Truck driving is a lazy man's job if there ever was one. The biggest barrier to entry for most is abstaining from marijuana.

Don't you need a cdl to drive the trailers that hold all the rides?

Yes, but I don't drive it. I just live in an RV and use it to travel. The are a few carnies here that have that and do it and the ringmaster pays them extra.
