Ridiculous. First off, at the current $4.00 per gallon price of fuel oil here you have to consider I'd use 5-8 gallons a day. That's $20-32.00 a day. Then you have to add in getting to work at this phantom job in my 10mpg Burb. Even if it was in my closest town there's at least $20.00 a day in gas. Then there's taxes on the money I earn, so that minumum wage job that might pay $8.00 an hour (min wage here) becomes more like $6.00@ hour. And then there's the amount of hours I worked- lets say it's 40, which isn't going to happen. Take home might be $250-275 a week. Fuel oil is costing me $140-224.00 a week PLUS $100.00 in gas which just ate up my whole paycheck even IF I could find this phantom 40 @ week job. FYI- I put in at a bunch of places locally and I didn't even get a call- OVERQUALIFIED! And then there's the other costs you forget- whose gonna do all the work here on the farm while I'm off paying for fuel oil? It would be just like before I retired, ME, working from the minute I got home till I couldn't take it any longer and half of what I needed would never get done.
If I sat on my butt in a little house in town getting that other job might make sense. Otherwise your premise is totally flawed.

The crops raised were cotton and soybeans, with about forty head of mixed breed cattle. Mr. Walters owned two tractors then. A Farmall 300 on gasoline and a Farmall C, that had once belonged to his father-in-law, and had been converted from gasoline to LP Gas. Many times, as a small boy, I would cross the fence behind the house my grandparents lived in and walk down the turn row to where granddaddy would be cultivati
