 Nothing Comes Easy

Location: Texas | I'm a hospice nurse, and I really love what I do. I really like helping people at end of life, teaching families and bedside nursing. It would be my "dream job" if I didn't have to drive all over the world (errr... city) to see my patients and only had to work 6a-2p. But... that's not going to happen.  |

My dream job would be staying home but still collecting my salary LOL
^^^^^^^
Though my current job is pretty decent. Breeding/kennel assistant, hard to hate going to work to play with puppies and doggos  |

 Go For It!
 
Location: Texas |
I think I'm doing what I love right now! I'm 53 and just started my own business, and it's horse related, and it's doing really well in just a short time! It was a difficult decision to step out and do this... I had to sell one of my horses (a really nice horse) to get the money to do it. I got my DBA/INC. on April 1st of this year, and so far I'm loving it. I love talking to people, hearing and seeing all the success stories, getting to do the horses all at the same time. I'm not going to lie... it's a lot of work, but I'm so glad I took the chance and just jumped! And I can do it from home! #feelingsoveryblessed

I have always thought that was more of a calling than a career choice... a good hospice nurse can make such a difference for so many grieving family members and friends. Thank you for what you do. |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I have it. Ranching, raising a handful of horses and part time brand inspector. I went to school for 2 yrs and got an Assoc degree. I want my kids to do something school wise even if they decide they want to ranch as well in the end. A good "useful" degree and/or trade school (mechanic, plumbing, electrician etc etc) can sure be useful later in life and always a need for those trades. |

I'm a banker and it always amazes me how much better the ranchers that haves some post high school education do compared to those who don't. It doesn't even matter what they study.

I have to agree based on the successful ranchers I know. The ones that are really successful and can afford improvements and add to their land the old fashioned way-buying it. The ones that have never left and inherit it generation after generation seem to need to sell off bits and pieces. I know not always the case, but I know of several that have no idea about the real world. Never been anywhere away from home and most importantly never worked for anyone else. |

My momma is V-P of a mostly agri bank and I'm an accountant, so Chan gets "the TALK" quite often about finances and taking care of all aspects of business, not just the business on the pond levees or tractors or paddlewheels. We get eye rolls occasionally, as you can imagine! |

What do you do????
I started a company called Rebar Ranch Naturals... it's products that I have made and used on my own horses and my friend's horses for many years. My vet encouraged me to start bottling them since I always had such great results. So I did it! You can can it out at http://www.rebarranchnaturals.com/
I'm actually in Mississippi at the Mega Race right now doing a booth! I'm running here too, which I probably wouldn't have done. But now I figured, what the heck! Might as well bring my horse since I'll be here anyway.
