if you live in a cardboard box, yes, I barely make it on $2500/month, and I dont spend anything on drugs and alcohol

Where do you live?
i live in Nashville.... my rent is 300 bucks a month for a 3 bedroom house in a nice neighborhood (i have two roommates who are childhood friends)... ask Nashbar, he has been to my house, and I think pictures are up somewhere on this site.
I also get free drinks and food at most of the places I work at, and I have been tipped a few times with weed. I live very comfortably on 1500 a month.

you're a tech, now heres a question, are you running a legit business? paying taxes, overhead and the like, as a personal contractor at $80/hr I'm sure you arent doing 40+hours a week, if so, how are you managing that kind of volume if you're doing all the repairs?

JR Jackson is living proof you dont need a degree to earn 25million per year but you wont find $1700/week job without a degree, many people dont want to work for them selves, they want benefits, insurance, 401k, a Roth and SSI when they retire...

I live in rural Ga, I own my home, 85 acres and have no mortgage, by myself, $1500 may be livable, with a wife and 2 kids... $3500 is whats needed. maybe we have different views of comfort, things like insurance on the kids and myself...

its hard to be legit when you get paid cash. I make 1500 bucks a month in cash.
There are plenty of companies that I could go to work for and get benefits.
I rarely get amps to repair, its more of a hobby than a job right now. My main job is running FOH for concerts, but I could go work for Clair Bros by next year which is the worlds largest production company in the world.... which just so happens to have a warehouse right next door to my boss's.. and we sometimes get their overflow when they get too much.

at the $80/hr figure that's about 4 hours per week that you work on a 40 hour week it's $166k... I'd be working my ass off for that kinda cash
I own a tractor, with it I can make up to $125/hr, problem is I might work 8 hours out of the year, see the problem with claiming an hourly rate, I can pull $60/hr doing computer service and make more but I'd still fall short of the bills for several years until I have an established and trusted business.

Once again, I am trying to point out the difference between a repariman, and an electrical engineer. I doubt that you could drop yourself into some serious electrical engineering research, and be fine. How much math do you know?
