China flooded the market with "cheap" lithium, killing the lithium mining industry in the US a long time ago, I believe I read. As for oil, I don't see it being a long term gig for me. The writing is just on the wall. Honestly, I'm not upset. I'll have to find something different, but the world will be better off.PurpleThrobber said:

Sure as hell beats my friends with shoe shine degrees and student debt slinging coffee.
And despite what the greenies think, the need for industrial minerals and oil isn't going to slow down any time soon. Lithium is the new hot play but WTF has been our exploring for lithium?!? Am aware of several projects now in Nevada but lithium was like a shit mineral for the gold and silver hounds out there turning over rocks. -
