sure u can have a job. its called the world wide web, the applications are on the net. find the company that has a job that fits your job trade and submit your resume. not all jobs are paying that, but the aviation community is/was and i used the training from the military and got a contract job. good luck to ya, oh and that kinda money was made overseas, not state side. now to answer your question of buying finished dogs, would sell your finished dog/s?
For the right amount of money, you're damn right I would sell my finished dogs. Everything has a price...
Were you working as a PC overseas? Because, I also worked in avionics while in Iraq and I didn't make close to that, more like 20%, and that was on federal pay scale. Then again, I didn't have dependents or a spouse. I heard scuttlebutt about some guys raking in money because of multiple children and a spouse that was in the military as well and both of them were deployed at the same time.
Oh, and the application thing was just a joke. I'm not a rich man, but the field in which I work provides 100% job security.
