To read the full text of this article online, click here: /articles/article/out_of_work_check_the_mirror11060/ ARTICLE EXCERPT: A long time ago, I was sitting in a coffee shop talking to a older gentleman from Jackson Hole about our family's dream to move to the mountains. At the time, I had a great paying job and was negotiating to take it to the mountains with me (that later fell through). He came to Jackson Hole in the 1960s with $200 in his pocket. 30 years later, he was still there and very successful, so I figured I could learn something from him. I wasn't kidding about those old guys last week. He gave me some advice that has stuck with me since that time some 14 years ago. He said: "If you're coming to live in the mountains, you better bring your own job and your own woman, cuz we don't have enough of either one". Which brings me to what's going on here. Lots of people out of work. Many of you have what teenagers would call "mad (whatever) skills". In normal English, that means "valuable skills in (whatever you do)". So now what?
