Home state: Minnesota
Occupation: Truck driver, Missouri Basin Well Services
Pay: $50,000 per year
I used to bartend, manage and be a promoter for night clubs. Then I got into selling cell phones on the side and became a volunteer firefighter and got really involved in using my promoter skills to raise money for charity instead.
Because of the bad economy, I wasn't making money at any of those things anymore, and I was really broke and in a lot of debt.
So when I heard about the job opportunities out here I did a little research and applied for a truck driver job at Missouri Basin [where I haul water to oil well sites]. I'm now making more than $50,000, which is more than double the less than $20,000 I made during the last couple years.
This is Mark Dreyer's get-out-of-debt program. I have $50,000 of debt, so I'm saving every bit of money I can. I was lucky enough to get a space in a park nearby, where I sleep in an RV.
