The mining jobs during my growing up days were about as secure as any jobs in the world. The doctors and other medical professions made a very comfortable living, because so many had great medical insurance from the mines. Banks flourished, churches had full offering plates, and the "houses" brought in more out of towners than any tourist program could ever hope to accomplish.

Don’t judge men’s wealth or godliness by their Sunday appearance.
