[QUOTE="Jake, post: 786609, member: 4"] At this moment I'm trying to decide between 5 diffferent companies. I'm one of if not the top prospect coming out of Kansas State this year so I've had a lot of choices. CGB wanted me to head to the Mississippi River and I wasn't sure how bad I wanted to end up that far east and didn't really know if I wanted to end up in Mandeville, LA. So I haven't chased that option and probably won't. ADM had a plane ticket waiting for me to come to Decatur but I"m not sure that I want to work in a large bearuacracy like that. Bartlett Grain has an offer on the table and Scoular final interview is tomorrow and I expect an offer from them also. I'm not sure which of these two I want to go with as they are two different cultures and have different opportunities. Bartlett is probably the safer more stable route but if I can excel with Scoular I know of a lot of guys making 300K plus with them. Since my ultimate goal is to come back and run cows I'd like to have the finances to buy my own ground. The family relationship has become more than strained over the last 8 months and I have realized that volunteer sweat equity really isn't worth anything in the long run. The prodigal son and the family members that show up once or twice a year will still be ahead of me and there is no help available for me to get started. So I've chosen the path of $$$ and buy my own. Good friend of mine on these boards gave me the advise to start buy and start my own. I'm starting to agree more every day and am going to run with that idea. [/QUOTE]
