When I told friends that I had met two border patrol agents in Ada, the response was, "Why are they in Ada?"
The agents were at the ONU career fair to recruit more agents: 1,200 are needed immediately and perhaps many thousand more will be hired, if President Trump's plans come to fruition...and the pay is good.
Starting salaries are about $40,000, including overtime and weekend pay. After only four years, agents can look for $90,000 to $100,000 annually.
You don't have to be a college graduate to be hired.

The highly-ranked, undefeated women's basketball team at ONU not only scores big time, but also gives back to the community by supporting fundraisers for breast cancer and cystic fibrosis (and garner a 3.4 GPA along the way).

Saturday's game saw their efforts in helping breast cancer project Hoops for Hope. And, the team was decked out in pink while playing.
When you first started out in your adult life, things were probably pretty simple: no house, no spouse, no kids, few investments. So, when it came time to do your taxes, you might have gotten along just fine by using Form 1040EZ - which, as the name suggests, is pretty darn easy to use. Fast forward a few years, however, and here you are today: family, mortgage, 401(k), IRA, stocks, bonds, debts, charitable contributions. Now, when you sit down to do your taxes, they're looking a lot more like your high school trigonometry. If that's the case, it might be time for you to get some help.
