My family on my mother's side is from south Louisiana. It's a different world over there. If i had stayed there I would have had to be a powerline worker, crayfish farmer, or a cop. There isn't anything there. But it is peaceful and the food is amazing.

The fuck is a crayfish?

You would have had several other options for a profession. Consider these jobs: oil refinery worker, trailer home salesman, trailer home squatter, boat engine mechanic, road construction barrier placement specialist, and meth cook.

And all that's just in Lafayette, if you went to New Orleans you could have been an artist/barista, musician/waiter, or even a meth cook!

Don't forget construction. That's big down there.

Just general construction. Like you ask what they do and that's the answer you get.

I had road construction barrier placement specialist because there are always barriers, detours, closed roads and blocked off lanes, but you never see anyone working on the roads.

Well in St. Martinville those would have been my options because of who we knew.

Fair enough, meth cook is super lucrative but it is all about who you know.

Smells too bad, lol

All available options for sure. But not in my immediate family. Well. Oil refinery worker might have been also. Forgot that one.

Auto correct: crawfish *** 😉

My dad grew up on the coast. He currently lives somewhere that he can put a boat in the water across the street from his house and end up in the Gulf less than an hour later. I spent so many summers in the swamps. 💚💚

I spent a lot of summers in a pirouge on the bayou teche. I just fished and got poison ivy. Played paintball with some friends every now and again. Ate tons of catfish and crawfish, can't forget oysters. 😋

The language is as different from English as bread is from solar plasma. The folks there are SO NICE though!!
