[Vision2020] Professional position...

[Don Kaag]

Visionaries:

Here's another one:

Highway construction site flaggers (Priv): $23.00/hr

This does take extensive training... 4 hours to be certified.

Hey, wait a minute, that's more than I make teaching, doesn't require 
an advanced degree, it's air-conditioned, and you can get a tan...

Heh, heh...


Regards,

Don Kaag
