[QUOTE="Ryder, post: 724792, member: 663"] If you hate teaching you owe it to your self and to the students to get out of it. But I think you would be better off to keep your 40K and find another job. Even if you have to go back to school or get some sort of training to make yourself marketeable. Sinking all of your money into ranching with nothing to fall back on other than your wife's anticipated job is a disaster waiting to happen. Let's play a little "what if". What if she finishes school, goes to work, and finds that she hates her job as much as you do? "Sorry honey, you have to work to keep things going. We have no money because we sunk evrything into this place and it will be years before we actually make any money." See what I mean? This is just one of numerous possible scenerios you have not accounted for. 40K is no money at all to go into full time cattle business big enough to make a living. In my opinion, you don't have the resources at this time to make that dog hunt. Better keep that money. You may well need it later. Finding another job that you like is your most important thing right now. As has been suggested, get a job and with both of you working, try something with cattle, but start real slow and real small. I understand your dreams and desires, but you have to be realistic and work toward those things. [/QUOTE]
